Question

I am install \"Laravel Framework version 5.2.26\" but i am getting error for key generate in my ubuntu os

user@CN43:/var/www/html/laravel_1$ php artisan key:         


        

Answer 1

Run this command and make .env file from .env.example file:

cp .env.example .env
php artisan key:generate

Now it's generate the key. Don't create new .env file.

Answer 2

Rename .env.example to .env and fill all properties.

If you install Laravel via Composer, this file will automatically be renamed to .env. Otherwise, you should rename the file manually
