I’ve already executed the command php artisan key:generate in the app.php file I copied the generated key and put in:

'key' => env('[base64:cDFjVAeEyMpey1sGdTBKKDAyY4ipZmOPVBeBpAsqQo4='),//

    'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC',

In part Cipher tbm I switched putting 128 and nothing .... I would like some hint about this problem.

Answer 1

To close the question, I just took a backup I had, and I did the procedure I always do and finally returned to normal.

And I looked in the file app.php and the part where I had problems... is like this key' => env('APP_KEY'), 'cipher' => 'AES-256-CBC',

Answer 2

I had the same problem climbing up an Laravel Github project. I had the same error as: Runtimeexception in Encrypter.php line 43:

Running php Artisan key:generate worked perfectly.
