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 have issue with Artisan usage on Windows 10 with Xampp.
What have I done:
clone project from git repositiory
run composer install
In directory with project i trying run:
php artisan
but i get errror:
Could not open input file: artisan
But if i run command
php bin/console i get list of command like cache, debug, eloquent... so some tools are there... But none artisan...
How i can add/use artisan into existing project?
Check if artisan file exists in your project root folder. If it does, then you're probably on the wrong folder. If it doesn't exist, you can just download it from the official repo.
To configure an existing project, you'd typically check those things first :
You should goto app/config/database.php check file and verify username and password.
After check in Project Folder vendor folder and composer.json file exist then remove it (that remove old configuration now we going to fresh configuration).
Then after back to command prompt and fire command composer update and that download some dependent file download.
Now Run php artisan serve
I have a project on Laravel 5 and I work with it at the office and at home too. It works fine, but recently at home it stopped working. Laravel show me two ErrorException
file_put_contents(G:\project\storage\framework\views/751d8a0fd8a7d4138c09ceb6a34bb377aa2d6265.php):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory
and
file_put_contents(G:\project\storage\framework/sessions/aIXycR4LIAUBVIqZu0T590paOMIpV8vfZGIroEp0):
failed to open stream: No such file or directory
I'm searching problem decision with Google and find information about correct rights. All advice is about Linux, but I'am work in Windows at the office and at home too.
When I try to clear application cache and view cache, artisan talk to me - ...cleared. But cache data and views are present in storage.
How can I fix this problem?
The best way to solve this problem is, go to directory laravel/bootstrap/cache and delete config.php file. or you can rename it as well like config.php.old
And your problem will be fixed.
You should typically run the php artisan config:cache command as part of your production deployment routine. As a solution to your problem, I suggest you recreate the cache file, for faster configuration loading.
To do this, run the following Artisan commands on your command line
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache
You can programmatically execute the command by adding the following to your routes:
Route::get('/clear-cache', function() {
$exitCode = Artisan::call('cache:clear');
$exitCode = Artisan::call('config:cache');
return 'DONE'; //Return anything
});
And then call the clear-cache route from your browser.
After some research I understand - I have very similar, but different root project locations and its cached in /bootstrap/cache. After cache clearing project started.
Actually I faced this issue when I moved my project from server to local.
in
storage/framework
four basic folders are required cache, sessions, testing, views
In My case sessions was missing might be in gitignore.
So I manually created session folder and refreshed browser and it was working.
So any of the missing folder if we delete this problem can be solved.
I solved this problem via creating storage\framework\sessions folder.
Apache + WSL on windows
This is a silly mistake, and a different answer compared to the others, but I'll add it because it happened to me.
If you use WSL (linux bash on windows) to manage your laravel application, while using your windows apache to run your server, then running any caching commands in the wsl will store the linux path rather than the windows path to the sessions and other folders.
Solution
Simply run the cache clearing commands in the powershell, rather than in WSL.
$ php artisan optimize
Was enough for me.
This type of issue generally occurs while migrating one server to another, one folder to another. Laravel keeps the cache and configuration (file name ) when the folder is different then this problem occurs.
Solution Run Following command:
php artisan config:cache
https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/configuration#configuration-caching
Try with these commands that have been useful with those errors
path\project\storage\framework\views...
php artisan view:clear
path\project\storage\framework/sessions...
php artisan config:cache
I deleted the file /public_html/bootstrap/cache/config.php
Then I ran php artisan config:cache
In case of shared hosting when you do not have command line access simply navigate to laravel/bootstrap/cache folder and delete (or rename) config.php.
This happens when you shift your website from local to live server or vice versa.
Simply go to bootstrap/cache and delete config.php.
The reason is related to cache or permission.
Firstly, go to directory laravel/bootstrap/cache and delete all files from cache.
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan config:cache
If the errors still happen. It may relates to permission
Let's try command below (In my case user&group of laravel is nginx)
sudo chgrp -R nginx storage bootstrap/cache
sudo chmod -R ug+rwx storage bootstrap/cache
If you are running laravel inside docker then access its filesystem
$ docker exec -it name-of-laravel-container /bin/bash
Next navigate to your laravel projects root directory. Make sure that you have inside storage/framework folder:
cache
sessions
testing
views
And they should be both readable and writable.
If nothing work try the following in the production environment
1-
composer install --optimize-autoloader --no-dev
2-
php artisan cache:clear
3-
php artisan config:clear
4-
php artisan view:clear
5-
php artisan config:cache
6-
php artisan route:cache
Works for me
Changing name of /bootstrap/cache/config.php to config.php.old doesn't work for me
neither clearing cache with the commands artisan
php artisan config:clear
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:cache
And for some weird reason I can't change permission for the owner on the directories, so my solution was running my IDE (Visual Studio Code) as admin, and everything works.
My project is in an F:/ path of another disk.
The reason for this problem is the cache files in localhost. According to that I've tried several things as follows to clear the cache on my project, but every time I've failed.
Tried to clear cahe commands by changing web.php file (with artisan codes)
Tried to clear cache by connecting SSH (via PUTTY)
Tried to host my project in Sub domain within create a new Public directory
So I've found a solution for this problem after each and every above steps failed and it worked for me perfectly. I deleted the cache.php file in host_route/bootstrap/cache directory.
Maybe there is an issue with your composer file. You could try:
composer install installs the vendor packages according to
composer.lock (or creates composer.lock if not present),
composer update always regenerates composer.lock and installs the
lastest versions of available packages based on composer.json
composer dump-autoload won’t download a thing. It just regenerates
the list of all classes that need to be included in the project (autoload_classmap.php). Ideal for when you have a new class inside your project. Ideally, you execute composer dump-autoload -o , for a
faster load of your webpages. The only reason it is not default, is because it takes a bit longer to generate (but is only slightly noticeable)
source
In my case it was not anything that could be fixed with php artisan commands. The issue was folder permissions for the /storage folder. The error did not make that clear.
The solution that worked for me is to just serve the app as admin
if you are
On mac or linux use sudo php artisan serve
On Windows try to open CMD as an adminstrator and then go to project directory and run php artisan serve
Clearing the contents of storage/framework/cache did the trick for me.
I had similar problems because of .gitignore for the /storage folder on first machine, then cloned repository on second machine and laravel was revision to write down sessions cache
So, manually creating folder /storage/sessions might be an solution..
This did the magic for me. chmod -Rf 0777 storage
In my case, I set APP_DEBUG=false since it is a production server, I decided to set it back to true and then it showed Missing BC Math or GMP extension
That is how I solved my own issue, setting APP_DEBUG=true might not work for everybody.
I used Laravel 8, This is my solution:
Goto:
storage/framework/cache/data
set permission directory data is 777
I went all the way, but I did not get the answer.
I just rename cache folder in storage/framework/ to cache1 and solved my problem.
I solved it clearing the content of:
/laravel/storage/framework/views
Then all the views were created again in that folder.
In my case these commands didn't fix it:
php artisan view:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan config:cache
I'm using Laravel 8 and in my case it seems that it was an issue with the permissions.
I tried to install this CMS https://github.com/murattanriover/basecms-laravel, I followed the install instruction, I created new database and I modified database.php file with my host data and I followed these instructions:
composer install
php artisan key:generate
Create a database and inform .env
php artisan migrate to create tables
php artisan db:seed to populate tables
But when i try to run: localhost/projectname/public/
I got the following error:
You need to set APP_KEY in .env
Set it to a random 32 character string
OR
Run php artisan key:generate in the root folder of your project.
This sets a random 32 character string for the encryption key.
In config\app.php change:
'cipher' => 'something stands here(delete it)',
to
'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC',
If that doesn't work, you'll need to manually add the key laravel generated to your .env file.
open the console and
php artisan key:generate
then you'll get the new key
Application key [xlhF31NeOlibJcoOW9tvZg7TkHcAZI3a] set successfully.
then go to projects and
~/projects/ nano .env
Manually add the key laravel generated to your .env file
APP_KEY=xlhF31NeOlibJcoOW9tvZg7TkHcAZI3a
As you are using WAMP server, please do as follow:
Open your wamp's php.ini (in my case it's in: C:\WampDeveloper\Config\Php\php.ini)
Find this line and uncomment it (remove front “;”).
From ;extension=php_sockets.dll to extension=php_sockets.dll
Save file. Restart Apache.
Do a php artisan key:generate.
Then make sure that your config/app.php has a line as follow:
'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC',
Reference to WAMP specific solution.
