Answer 1

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
