Server Error 500 when VerifyCsrfToken is swiched off
I have been getting this error and to get rid of it I changed the following.
In VerifyCsrfToken.php I added the following to allow any route
protected $except = [
'*'
];
Also in Kernel.php I commented out this:
// \App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class,
But I still get the dreaded { message: "Server Error" } Not very often, but it happens.
It always happens with the same items but the turnaround for those requests are about 180ms, so quite quick.
There are about 9 requests that go out at the same time and the respons always fails on the 7th or 9th one, never the 8th ( for some reason ).
Im using React 0.13 ( Im stuck on this version for now ) and Ajax. ( React 0.13 cant use Axios )
Before the changes above I had the following code in bootstrap.js
$.ajaxSetup({
headers: {
'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content'),
'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest'
}
});
and the following in my Start page:
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
But even with this I got { message: "Server Error" } very frequently.
Im not sure what other information I missed, but please can someone shed some light on this topic for me.

Did you check your logs for what error is thrown? (laravel.log)
Level 1
This is what I get.
[2020-08-13 11:02:28] production.ERROR: No application encryption key has been specified. {"exception": "[object] (RuntimeException(code: 0): No application encryption key has been specified. at C:\\Acute\\vendor\\laravel\\framework\\src\\Illuminate\\Encryption\\EncryptionServiceProvider.php:80) [stacktrace]
I did run php artisan key:generate previously and added the key to my .env file.
Level 102
Is this a production server or local development? Is the config cached?
Level 1
Its in testing at the moment, so local development I'd say.
Level 122
Nothing to do with csrf....
Try with and without caching of the config
Level 1
I have now run
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan view:clear
and the browser cache.
Level 1
Ah No. After running the artisan commands. I just nog got the exact same error.

Can you check your .env file? Does it have something like this?
APP_KEY=base64:eLnjbQPAZUMmHFxk4rBGWosZ2IhJCNV+G6ns1mSeQ2o=
Level 1
APP_ENV=production APP_DEBUG=false DB_DATABASE=OR DB_USERNAME=postgres APP_KEY=base64:Igtp2T9Sx3yvXfxwqt5lVtjpStJLj/JbOSecldAL6A0=
This it the whole content of .env

APP_ENV=production
APP_DEBUG=false
DB_DATABASE=OR

This is a patient admission application.
The strange thing is that it works fine and then on admitting something like the 10th patient I get this, but only on one request.
Then its fine again and then again server error, but this time on another request.
Level 102
Does it make a difference if you set it to local and enable debug?
APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
Level 1
I found this link
Level 1
Does including it in the config.php file make any significant difference?
Used to look like
'key' => env('APP_KEY'),
Now changed it to look like
'key' => env('APP_KEY', 'base64:2+GtwJ+zL8Bw/QXqWaNcywnhdZ2edrhh2w8OdOvtloc='),
Level 1
ot it should rather be
'key' => ('base64:2+GtwJ+zL8Bw/QXqWaNcywnhdZ2edrhh2w8OdOvtloc='),
Level 102
That would only be for debugging purposes. Do not use that as a solution
Level 1
@sinnbeck Do you perhaps have any other idea why it would come up with this error even after the changes and commands tried?
Level 102
No I have never seen that error like that before. But did you try it with local and debug on? Did it make a difference?
Level 1
Will give it a go now. Thanks.

I could not run php artisan config:cache becasues of 2 files with incorrect namespaces. When I fixed that issue I was able to run that command and I dont get the Server Error or No application encryption key has been specified. anymore
