Whoops, looks like something went wrong. Laravel 5.0
This is happening because there is a field in .env
file named, APP_KEY, which is blank now, we need some random key for this variable.
Follow these steps to get rid of this problem.
Rename
.env.example
to.env
Go to your root directory in your command prompt (If you are using windows)/terminal (If you are using MAC or LINUX) where you have installed laravel project/files and run following command
php artisan key:generate
and then run your project. It's all done.
The logs are located in storage
directory. If you want laravel to display the error for you rather than the cryptic 'Whoops' message, copy the .env.example
to .env
and make sure APP_ENV=local
is in there. It should then show you the detailed error messaging.
