laravel-5.5

I’m new to Laravel and I’m trying to use the Artisan command… php artisan serve It displays… Laravel development server started: http://127.0.0.1:8000 However, it won’t automatically launch and when I manually enter http://127.0.0.1:8000 it shows this error: RuntimeException No application encryption key has been specified. Any ideas? I’m using Laravel framework 5.5-dev. 24 Answers 24
