I think you have some key generation problem. You can generate the keys by following below simple steps.

  1. Add an APP_KEY by running php artisan key:generate from the command line in your project root. This will generate a random, 32 character string which is used for encryption.

  2. You should already have 'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC', within your project_directory/config/app.php.

  3. Run the project. This might work.

Happy Coding :)
