Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

Hi! Sorry total noob here I was wondering what I could do to solve this error:

It runs fine locally, so my steps are

upload the archive.zip then extract
change public to public_html
edit env to reflect the hosting database / url
import local database onto hosting

I get the following error when accessing my site

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

did you copy .env across, or if not, have you created a key of the correct length?

Next question, what Php version is it?

No SSH sorry shared hosting with no access to that.

I renamed .env to .test and the exact error stays the same, could my .env not being read be possible?

OP

I was wondering if this would have any impact on Laravel?

Shared hosting online:

php info disabled functions

Yes, you need putenv, or it can't use the .env.

With that setup, you'd probably have to hardcode your values in the actual config files, which is something I wouldn't want to do, but you've limited yourself with that shared hosting...

So this error is probably coming because it can't use the APP_KEY in your .env, which is needed for encryption, and why null is showing up here instead of your APP_KEY value.

EncryptionServiceProvider->getEncrypterForKeyAndCipher(null, 'AES-256-CBC') in

To confirm, edit /config/app.php and set

'key' => env('APP_KEY'),

to your APP_KEY value in your .env. If it works (you'll get other errors, but should fix this one), then you'd have to do it for all of the other .env vars.

Is the laravel.log

So basically just get different hosting with putenv and it should hopefully work?

Alright boom!

I opened database.php from config and inserted

'options' => [PDO::ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES => true, PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_COMPRESS => true,]

and it seems to be working so far, fingers crossed.

What are the downsides to having manually configured app.php?

Many thanks for the assistance so far!

The issue will be when you need to deploy new code, you will have to remember that various files are different on production to development
