Check domain column in your tenants table be sure there is no port number added to your record domain value I think should be plain domain name like tenant1.domain.local not tenant1.domain.local:123 .
This was the issue on my case having same error.

I am learning about Mulit-Tenancy in Laravel and am running into an issue and don't know exactly where to look to isolate the issue. I am following a tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvnvYzQ2fw0&t=187s and at 17 minutes into the video, I need to show the current Tenant by adding the {{app('currentTenant')}} line in the welcome.blade document. This trhows the error:
Target class [currentTenant] does not exist
I followed the documentation of the package I am using which can be found at https://spatie.be/docs/laravel-multitenancy/v1/basic-usage/automatically-determining-the-current-tenant where I add the 'tenant_finder' code to my multitenancy.php file located in the config folder. I am at a loss as to which code I need to modify to make this work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to know if I can show any code and which peice to make helping me a bit easier but like I said, I am not sure what the offending or missing code is just yet. Thank you.

In my Welcome.blade.php, I am calling:
<p style="color:white;">{{ app('currentTenant') }}</p>
In my Kernal.php, I am calling tenant as such:
'tenant' => [

\Spatie\Multitenancy\Http\Middleware\EnsureValidTenantSession::class,
],
