Answer 1

As previous answers has outlined we had an issue with one of our configuration files in laravel. We used the global $app variable which were no longer possible in laravel 5.2+.

The way we found this was to check which file failed to load in the loadConfigurationFiles method in src/Illuminate/Foundation/Bootstrap/LoadConfiguration.php.
