Give a write access to storage and cache directories

sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/laravel/storage
sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/laravel/bootstrap/cache

Still Not Working?

If the above steps are still not working, you can try to run the following commands in the shell:

# 1. Clear Laravel cache
php artisan cache:clear

# 2. Delete the compiled class
php artisan clear-compiled

# 3. Regenerate the composer autoload file
composer dump-autoload

Hello
I have done the above steps but still I am getting same error.

I think chmod 777 did the trick but still getting following error.

Run: php artisan key:generate

[drt420]

I have already generated key but still getting same error.

[ghost]

What's the output of php artisan key:generate?

[drt420]

Output is as below

root@2:/var/www/html# php artisan key:generate
Application key EDIT: REMOVED set successfully.

[HDVinnie]

just make sure the output matches what was written to the .env

if not paste your {YOUR APP KEY} into the .env under APP_KEY

[ghost]

Yeah, have you made an .env file?

[HDVinnie]

Also I'm assuming since you posted your app key here your install for UNIT3D is for demo purposes only and not production. Never share your app key.

[drt420]

I regenerated the key, .env output is as below. Yes, it a demo only once I am finish with testing I will start prod server.

APP_ENV=local
APP_KEY=YOUR_APP_KEY
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_LOG_LEVEL=debug
APP_LOG=daily
APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1

[ghost]

I've changed the APP_URL to http://127.0.0.1 and removed the APP_KEY as it might have contained sensitive data.

[HDVinnie]

in your env delete the key after APP_KEY=

Push new env to server. Then run php artisan key:generate

make sure new output matches env. If so and still error make sure
/config/app.php
line 117-119 looks like so

    'key' => env('APP_KEY'),

    'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC',

[drt420]

Still same error, do you have skype where we can discuss more about it

[HDVinnie]

you can join https://discord.gg/T2YPNPZ and visit the #support channel

EDIT: My colleague has informed me that my previous remark was irrelevant, because the key had been removed for privacy. "Mah bad!"

@drt420 What is the output of stat .env? It seems clear that your .env is present, the key is set, yet it can't be read. The most obvious reason for this is that you were operating as the root user and did something like cp env.example .env, but your web-server is not running as root (thank goodness). This might also explain your earlier troubles with the storage directories.

Also, setting permissions to 777 is (almost) never the answer. If the site is connected to the Internet at all, that will bite you. You should use 750, 770, or 775, depending, but never 777. If using 777 is the only way it works, then the user and/or group should be adjusted instead. Maybe you are working locally, and you don't care; just figured I would mention it.

[HDVinnie]

@drt420 any updates? Can I close this?

[drt420]

This has been resolved, Thanks for all the support
