No Application Encryption Key Has Been Specified
I'm new to Laravel and I'm trying to use the Artisan command...
php artisan serve
It displays...
Laravel development server started: http://127.0.0.1:8000
However, it won't automatically launch and when I manually enter http://127.0.0.1:8000 it shows this error:
RuntimeException No application encryption key has been specified.
Any ideas? I'm using Laravel framework 5.5-dev.

The answers below are correct: however, if you first run "php artisan serve" and have an active web server session you will need to restart the server (control-c in the terminal to stop) to get the change to take effect after you add the key to your .env file.

Run the command php artisan key:generate it will generate Application Key for your application. You can find the application key(APP_KEY) in .env file.

I actually had to add a .env file to my project and then copy the contents of .env.example so that the key:generate would work. Not sure why a .env file was not created when I started the project.

It might depend on how you installed Laravel ... "In a fresh Laravel installation, the root directory of your application will contain a.env.examplefile. If you install Laravel via Composer, this file will automatically be renamed to.env. Otherwise, you should rename the file manually." -#Environment Configuration
– Sᴀᴍ Onᴇᴌᴀ
Sep 11 '17 at 16:01
also, if you cloned the project from a repo where the .env file was likely in .gitignore, then you would neeed to create it as well. From the Laravel docs: 'Your .env file should not be committed to your application's source control, since each developer / server using your application could require a different environment configuration'
– Sami El Maameri
Jun 17 '18 at 6:08
I also found that if you download it from the cloud (I'm using windows) i.e. google-drive, sky-drive etc. the .env, .env.example files are named _env, _env.example etc. In that case I renamed the files accordingly and then just ran 'php artisan key:generate'.

A common issue you might experience when working on a Laravel application is the exception:
RuntimeException No application encryption key has been specified.
You'll often run into this when you pull down an existing Laravel application, where you copy the .env.example file to .env but don't set a value for the APP_KEY variable.
At the command line, issue the following Artisan command to generate a key:
php artisan key:generate
This will generate a random key for APP_KEY, After completion of .env edit please enter this command in your terminal for clear cache:php artisan config:cache
Also, you have to restart the server now you will not get to see this error message.

Okay, I'll write another instruction, because didn't find the clear answer here. So if you faced such problems, follow this:
- Rename or copy/rename .env.example file in the root of your project to .env.
You should not just create empty .env file, but fill it with
content of .env.example.
- In the terminal go to the project root directory(not public folder) and run
php artisan key:generate
- If everything is okay, the response in the terminal should look like this
Application key [base64:wbvPP9pBOwifnwu84BeKAVzmwM4TLvcVFowLcPAi6nA=]
set successfully.
- Now just copy key itself and paste it in your .env file as the value to APP_KEY. Result line should look like this:
APP_KEY=base64:wbvPP9pBOwifnwu84BeKAVzmwM4TLvcVFowLcPAi6nA=
- In terminal run
php artisan config:cache
That's it.

You can generate Application Encryption Key using this command:
php artisan key:generate
Then, create a cache file for faster configuration loading using this command:
php artisan config:cache
Or, serve the application on the PHP development server using this command:
php artisan serve
That's it!

I think you should update the answer . The file name is .env .

I actually had to add a .env file to my project and then copy the contents of .env.example so that the key:generate would work. Not sure why a .env file was not created when I started the project.

It might depend on how you installed Laravel ... "In a fresh Laravel installation, the root directory of your application will contain a.env.examplefile. If you install Laravel via Composer, this file will automatically be renamed to.env. Otherwise, you should rename the file manually." -#Environment Configuration
– Sᴀᴍ Onᴇᴌᴀ
Sep 11 '17 at 16:01
also, if you cloned the project from a repo where the .env file was likely in .gitignore, then you would neeed to create it as well. From the Laravel docs: 'Your .env file should not be committed to your application's source control, since each developer / server using your application could require a different environment configuration'
– Sami El Maameri
Jun 17 '18 at 6:08
I also found that if you download it from the cloud (I'm using windows) i.e. google-drive, sky-drive etc. the .env, .env.example files are named _env, _env.example etc. In that case I renamed the files accordingly and then just ran 'php artisan key:generate'.

A common issue you might experience when working on a Laravel application is the exception:
RuntimeException No application encryption key has been specified.
You'll often run into this when you pull down an existing Laravel application, where you copy the .env.example file to .env but don't set a value for the APP_KEY variable.
At the command line, issue the following Artisan command to generate a key:
php artisan key:generate
This will generate a random key for APP_KEY, After completion of .env edit please enter this command in your terminal for clear cache:php artisan config:cache
Also, you have to restart the server now you will not get to see this error message.

Okay, I'll write another instruction, because didn't find the clear answer here. So if you faced such problems, follow this:
- Rename or copy/rename .env.example file in the root of your project to .env.
You should not just create empty .env file, but fill it with
content of .env.example.
- In the terminal go to the project root directory(not public folder) and run
php artisan key:generate
- If everything is okay, the response in the terminal should look like this
Application key [base64:wbvPP9pBOwifnwu84BeKAVzmwM4TLvcVFowLcPAi6nA=]
set successfully.
- Now just copy key itself and paste it in your .env file as the value to APP_KEY. Result line should look like this:
APP_KEY=base64:wbvPP9pBOwifnwu84BeKAVzmwM4TLvcVFowLcPAi6nA=
- In terminal run
php artisan config:cache
That's it.

You can generate Application Encryption Key using this command:
php artisan key:generate
Then, create a cache file for faster configuration loading using this command:
php artisan config:cache
