Answer 1

Judging from your error, you need to run php artisan key:generate this will update your key of which in turn will rectify your error.

You will need to either SSH into your public_html folder if you have host permission to do so. Alternatively, you can ask your host provider to either:

1. Grant you SSH access
2. Perform this action for you.

You can then run: php artisan config:clear once the new key has been generated.

Answer 2

If you are on shared hosting you can use these steps

1. Open your .env file, copy APP_KEY to somewhere else as a backup
2. Run php artisan key:generate from console
3. Copy the new APP_KEY and upload it to the .env file on your (shared) server
4. Move the old key back to development

我通过在.env和Config / App.php中添加Web应用程序的URL来解决此问题，现在它可以正常工作了：)感谢大家共享这样的有价值的知识，可能会对我有所帮助。
