I'm trying to use the Artisan command like this:
php artisan serve
It displays:
Laravel development server started: http://127.0.0.1:8000
However, it won't automatically launch and when I manually enter http://127.0.0.1:8000 it shows this error:
RuntimeException No application encryption key has been specified.
What's the cause of this problem, and how can it be fixed?
I'm using Laravel framework 5.5-dev.
From Encryption - Laravel - The PHP Framework For Web Artisans:
"Before using Laravel's encrypter, you must set a key option in your
config/app.php configuration file. You should use the
php artisan key:generate command to generate this key"
From Encryption - Laravel - The PHP Framework For Web Artisans:
"Before using Laravel's encrypter, you must set a key option in your config/app.php configuration file. You should use the php artisan key:generate command to generate this key"
I found it using this query in google.com:
"laravel add encrption key" (Yes, it worked even with the typo!)
Note that if the .env file contains the key but you are still getting an application key error, then run php artisan config:cache to clear and reset the config.
In my case, I also needed to reset the cached config files:
php artisan key:generate
php artisan config:cache
Open command prompt in the root folder of your project and run below command:
php artisan key:generate
It will generate Application Key for your application.
You can find the generated application key(APP_KEY) in .env file.
Copy .env.example to .env:
cp -a .env.example .env
Generate a key:
php artisan key:generate
Only then run:
php artisan serve
Simply run this command:
php artisan key:generate
cp .env.example .env if there is no .env file present.
php artisan key:generate command works for me. It generates the encryption key
Open command prompt in the root folder of your project and run
php artisan key:generate
Then
php artisan config:cache
and Then
If you're getting the same error after having key-value, then just copy the APP_KEY value from .env file and paste it to config/app.php with 'key' => 'YOUR KEY',
and then again run
php artisan config:cache
I actually had to add a .env file to my project and then copy the contents of .env.example so that the key:generate would work. Not sure why a .env file was not created when I started the project.
In 3 steps:
Generate new key php artisan key:generate
Clear the config php artisan config:clear
Update cache php artisan config:cache
php artisan key:generate
php artisan config:cache
worked for me, but it had to be done in a command prompt on Windows.
Doing it inside the terminal in PHPStorm didn't worked.
A common issue you might experience when working on a Laravel application is the exception:
RuntimeException No application encryption key has been specified.
You'll often run into this when you pull down an existing Laravel application, where you copy the .env.example file to .env but don't set a value for the APP_KEY variable.
At the command line, issue the following Artisan command to generate a key:
php artisan key:generate
This will generate a random key for APP_KEY, After completion of .env edit please enter this command in your terminal for clear cache:php artisan config:cache
Also, If you are using the PHP's default web server (eg. php artisan serve) you need to restart the server changing your .env file values. now you will not get to see this error message.
Follow this steps:
php artisan key:generate
php artisan config:cache
php artisan serve
Simply run command php artisan key:generate.. Still issue exist then run one more command php artisan config:cache and php artisan cache:clear ..
Now run php artisan serve
Okay, I'll write another instruction, because didn't find the clear answer here. So if you faced such problems, follow this:
Rename or copy/rename .env.example file in the root of your project to .env.
You should not just create empty .env file, but fill it with
content of .env.example.
In the terminal go to the project root directory(not public folder) and run
php artisan key:generate
If everything is okay, the response in the terminal should look like this
Application key [base64:wbvPP9pBOwifnwu84BeKAVzmwM4TLvcVFowLcPAi6nA=]
set successfully.
Now just copy key itself and paste it in your .env file as the value to APP_KEY. Result line should look like this:
APP_KEY=base64:wbvPP9pBOwifnwu84BeKAVzmwM4TLvcVFowLcPAi6nA=
In terminal run
php artisan config:cache
That's it.
I found that most answers are incomplete here. In case anyone else is still looking for this:
Check if you have APP_KEY= in your .env, if not just add it without a value.
Run this command: php artisan key:generate. This will fill in the value to the APP_KEY in your .env file.
Finally, run php artisan config:cache in order to clear your config cache and recache your config with the new APP_KEY value.
You can generate Application Encryption Key using this command:
php artisan key:generate
Then, create a cache file for faster configuration loading using this command:
php artisan config:cache
Or, serve the application on the PHP development server using this command:
php artisan serve
That's it!
If you git clone some project then this kind of issue may usually occur.
make sure there is .env file
run php artisan key:generate and then it should generate APP_KEY in .env
finally run php artisan serve and it should be working.
If you don't have a .env file then run the below command, else skip this
cp .env.example .env
Then run the below artisan command and it will generate an application key for your project:
php artisan key:generate
Note: Your APP_KEY is inside your .env file.
If after running php artisan key:generate issue is not resolved, check your .env file.
Search for APP_KEY=.
If it doesn't exist, manually add it to .env file and run php artisan key:generate again.
After this you will see generated key in .env file.
Copy that key and paste it in /config/app.php (search for APP_KEY there as well). You should end up with something like this in app.php file
'key' => env('APP_KEY', 'base64:...'),
Then run php artisan serve (You might have to run php artisan config:cache at some point. Not 100% sure when)
I ran into this issue when I manually copied the contents of my Laravel project (say sites/oldname) into a new directory on my Mac (say, sites/newname). Since I was manually dragging and droppping, it didn't grab the hidden files, namely, '.env'.
When I looked more closely at sites/oldname I saw .editorconfig, .env, .env.example, .gitatrributes, .styleci.yml, etc.
The error went away once I copied the hidden files to the new directory.
So, "No Application Encryption Key Has Been Specified" is Laravel speak for "your .env file is missing."
Sometimes If everything Fails Use this:
Goto: laravelProject/config/app.php
Find the line: 'key' => and check to what it refers,
It can either be one of two:
Case 1: env('APP_KEY')
Case 2: "somekeystring"
For Case 1:
Goto your .env file after you have run cp -a .env.example .env
Enter a random string like 10101010101010101010101010101010
Now, run php artisan key:generate
Your key will be updated automatically.
For Case 2:
set a random string like for value of Key 10101010101010101010101010101010
Now, run php artisan key:generate
Your key will be updated automatically.

Click
Genrate app key
Click on Refresh now
simply run
php artisan key:generate
its worked for me
Try setting correct file permissions
chmod -R 777 storage/
chmod 777 bootstrap/cache/
Run below command to set app key
php artisan key:generate
By running the above command, it sets the key value in .env of your project directory which is referenced in the app config
// .env
APP_KEY=base64:XkrFWC+TGnySY2LsldPXAxuHpyjh8UuoPMt6yy2gJ8U=
// config/app.php
'key' => env(APP_KEY);
Restart your server, in order to reflect the above change.
I had to restart my queue worker using php artisan queue:restart after running php artisan key:generate to get jobs working.

On my production server I set the env var APP_ENV=production. With this config laravel will not use .env file but it will use env var declared on the server.
But I have a problem when I run this command php artisan key:generate because I'll get this error:
In KeyGenerateCommand.php line 96:
file_get_contents(/app/.env): failed to open stream: No such file or directory
Just for this command laravel need the .env file. So actually I create an empty .env file to make it works but it's ugly...
Do you have any solution ? or maybe this command is useless in production env ?
When you push a Laravel project to production, you need to generate a .env file, since that file is not committed. You should have a .env.example, which you can copy and modify as required:
cp .env.example .env
Then you can run php artisan key:generate to set the App Key.
You can also run this :
sudo php artisan key:generate
Before doing it make sure you are in the folder, for example :
cd /var/www/html/your_folder
I'm new to laravel and I want to learn it. I am trying to clone a github repository. The repository tells me I need to clone it, and then to run the 'composer install' command. But I get the following error:
[RuntimeException]
No supported encrypter found. The cipher and / or key length are invalid.
Script php artisan clear-compiled handling the post-install-cmd event returned with error code 1
I tried searching for this error on google and it told me to change the cipher to 'AES-256-CBC'. But when I checked the cipher it has the 'AES-256-CBC'.
Does anybody know how to resolve this problem?
you need .env file:
You can download env.example, rename it to .env and edit it. Just set up correct DB credentials etc.
Note: If you already have .env.example, just rename it to .env
Don't forget to When you use the php artisan key:generate it will generate the new key to your .env file
check your .env file,it has this APP-KEY filled!,if not there-then run this command.
php artisan key:generate
And after that check your .env file, there should be this type of line
APP_NAME=Laravel
APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY = ***keys_go_here***
....
and in your config/app.php,is there present this code of line.
'key' => env('APP_KEY')
After that do what you supposed to do previously.
You need to copy .env.example file and make new file in same directory name as .env
and then run
composer install
Try this in your console.first copy the .env.example
sudo cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate
if php artisan key:generate give permission error then giv permission to your .env
sudo chmod -R 777 .env
then
php artisan key:generate
first, install the Composer, then go to the project folder in cmd and run this command:
composer update
I use Laravel 6.2 with valet and PHP 7.3.12
The problem is I want to change DB_DATABASE=laravel to DB_DATABASE=something_else in .env file
but it doesn't reload the new .env value at all
I have already tried this command:
php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache
but it still doesn't change at all.
I even try to add a new key to .env file and query it in Tinker and the new key doesn't add as well.
After completion of .env edit, You can clear the configuration cache with the following artisan command: php artisan config:cache
Use php artisan key:generate it will generate the new key to your .env file
NOTE: If there is still error then you do not need your restart computer just try this:
If you are using the PHP's default web server (eg. php artisan serve) you need to restart your server
OR
If you have used XAMPP then restart your Apache server
I just restart my computer at first it doesn't work then I did
php artisan config:cache and it works now.
whenever you want to change content .env file
run php artisan cache:clear command to get newly added values
Restarting you computer has nothing to do with it.
If you are working on a local environment then please stop your development server by pressing ctrl+c and then restart the application by running php artisan serve.

I think that this is due to Laravel Passport, you should try the following command:
php artisan passport:install
This command will create the encryption keys needed to generate secure
access tokens. In addition, the command will create "personal access"
and "password grant" clients which will be used to generate access
tokens
Source: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/passport
I had the same problem when I updated the composer.I generated the keys again using php artisan passport:keys and it solved the problem
I found the solution
Solution:
In config/app.php I had to comment these lines:
/*Laravel\Passport\PassportServiceProvider::class,
App\Providers\CodeGrantProvider::class,
Spatie\Permission\PermissionServiceProvider::class,*/
Than you need to migrate the whole database again,
than uncomment this line:
Laravel\Passport\PassportServiceProvider::class,
And run php artisan passport:install my application keys weren't working so I had to do:
php artisan config:clear
php artisan key:generate
php artisan config:clear
And than I could do php artisan serve
Thanks!
so sample if you already install passpord and don't config run this command
php artisan passport:keys
If already doesnt install the passport package you must check the docs of passpord in Laravel docs
Step 1:
Only Run if oauth-private.key and oauth-public.key not exists in
storage folder otherwise skip first step..
php artisan passport:install
Step 2:
Clear configration and generate key
php artisan config:clear
php artisan key:generate
php artisan config:clear
Step 3:
Change permission and owner like that :
sudo chown www-data:www-data storage/oauth-*.key
sudo chmod 600 storage/oauth-*.key
Since /storage/*.key is in .gitignore so if you pull the project, that might be missing the key by running php artisan passport:keys will generate new keys for you.
Run: php artisan passport:install.
If get message like "Encryption keys already exist. Use the --force option to overwrite them."
Then run
Run: php artisan config:clear
Run: php artisan key:generate.
And finally
Run: php artisan config:clear
I have removed this bit: Passport::loadKeysFrom(__DIR__.'/../secrets/oauth');
from App\Providers\AuthServiceProvider and it fixed the issue.
https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/passport#deploying-passport
/**
* Register any authentication / authorization services.
*
* #return void
*/
public function boot()
{
$this->registerPolicies();
Passport::routes();
Passport::loadKeysFrom(__DIR__.'/../secrets/oauth');
}
if you use heroku as deployment,
try add this in composer.json at the script line
"post-install-cmd": [
"php artisan clear-compiled",
"chmod -R 777 storage",
"php artisan passport:keys"
]
and then run this command
php artisan passport:install
php artisan config:clear
php artisan optimize
do this commands
sudo chown www-data:www-data storage/oauth-*.key
php artisan passport:install
php artisan config:clear
php artisan key:generate
php artisan config:clear
Don't do this line until you have keys in a specific location for the file
in AuthServiceProvider.php
//Passport::loadKeysFrom('/secret-keys/oauth');
for my after i run composer install passport is already installed so php artisan passport:install does not help.
try to touch new file (oauth-private.key) to storage dir, then run command
php artisan passport:keys --force
this command 'll force override private key you touched and create "aouth-public.key" file. it 'll work fine
Depending on the environment you are using to deploy. If, for example, you are using a Heroku deploy, you may have to remove the folder containing the keys from gitignore before pushing and then later add it back. This worked for me after following the steps above.
firstly, search in oath-private-key in your application folder. copy
it and go to App/provider folder. create a new folder , secret and
oauth like that
App/Provider/Secret/Oauth and paste your oath-private-key here.
I hope it helps you.
For Windows OS. If you have already installed passport, or you are setting up an existing application and then facing this problem then try "php artisan passport:keys"
