It should be ready to test the website. - Dont forget to set the file permission in /public/ directory if we want to upload an image into it
1teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/works/laravel/laravel-blog-tutorial$ sudo chmod -R 777 public/ - Test the website: http://localhost:8000/
12teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/works/laravel/laravel-blog-tutorial$ php artisan serveLaravel development server started on http://localhost:8000/
If i found an error like:
12RuntimeException in EncryptionServiceProvider.php line 31:No supported encrypter found. The cipher and / or key length are invalid.
Just stop the server then generate the new key:
1teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/works/laravel/laravel-blog-tutorial$ php artisan key:generate
It’d create a new key in .env like
1APP_KEY=SRicGuQPSaDDLOlnYCNvz7F2zdYIhXHQ
ref: http://laravel.io/forum/08-25-2016-no-supported-encrypter-found-the-cipher-and-or-key-length-are-invalid-when-i-run-keygenerate.
Then start the server back. If everything is okay, here is the screen look like:
Sometimes you got an error about the file permission writeable or not like this
12NotWritableException in Image.php line 143:Can't write image data to path (/home/teddy/Documents/works/laravel/laravel-blog-tutorial/public/images/1482895274.jpg)
Then you need to set the file permission in /public/ directory to 777
1teddy@teddy-K43SJ:~/Documents/works/laravel/laravel-blog-tutorial$ sudo chmod -R 777 public/
