I've started to get this on all my local 5.2 installations on Laravel Homestead; "No supported encrypter found. The cipher and / or key length are invalid.", all of which worked previously.
My APP_KEY is set to a 32 char string, my cipher is set as AES-256-CBC and downgrading to Laravel 5.1 seems to fix the issue, however I'd like to find a solution and not avoid the problem.
Has anyone else experienced this? Can anyone help me with this issue?
Ended up just reinstalling Homestead, installing mcrypt didn't do anything (It was already installed).
