Answer 1

I had similar issues when I ran php artisan config:cache. Apparently, it is an issue when the application is trying to load cached configuration files that have closures in it. It won't be fixed in Laravel since it is a bad practice to have closures in config files. Refer this Github issue

The way I solved this is by undo-ing this.

Delete the cache for config.

It is located in here

bootstrap/cache/config.php

OR

vendor/config.php
