  • Laravel supported ciphers are AES-128-CBC and AES-256-CBC

    Laravel supported ciphers are AES-128-CBC and AES-256-CBC

    On a Laravel application, I get the following error message

    The only supported ciphers are AES-128-CBC and AES-256-CBC with the correct key lengths.
    Laravel error

    To fix the error, run the command

    php artisan key:generate

    This will generate a new key and add to the .env file.

    php artisan --version
    how to check laravel version

    Another way to find Laravel version is to check the file composer.lock present in the Laravel web root directory.

    cat composer.lock

    You will see something like the following

                "name": "laravel/framework",
            "version": "v6.1.0",
            "source": {
                "type": "git",
                "url": "https://github.com/laravel/framework.git",
                "reference": "a365bea7ff0dea9a50f5904be9e41656def9af4b"
            },

    In this case, we are using Laravel version 6.1.0

  • Nginx Config for Laravel Application in sub folder

    Nginx Config for Laravel Application in sub folder

    To run Laravel Application on a subfolder of a website, use the following configuration. If you run the Laravel application as the main site, see Nginx Config for Laravel Application

    # subFolderApp1

location /subFolderApp1 {  
    alias /home/yorudomain.com/html/subFolderApp1/public;  
    try_files $uri $uri/ @subFolderApp1;
    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm-torrentp.sock;
    }
}  

location @subFolderApp1 {
    rewrite /subFolderApp1/(.*)$ /subFolderApp1/index.php?/$1 last;
}

# end subFolderApp1

    Here you place the Laravel application in a subdirectory “subFolderApp1”.

    Example

    server {
    server_name serverok.in www.serverok.in;
    root /home/serverok.in/html/;
    index index.php index.html index.htm;
    client_max_body_size 1000M;
    proxy_read_timeout 600s;
    fastcgi_read_timeout 600s;
    fastcgi_send_timeout 600s;

    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }


    # service

    location /service {  
        alias /home/serverok.in/html/service/public;  
        try_files $uri $uri/ @nested1;
        location ~ \.php$ {
            include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $request_filename;
            fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm-torrentp.sock;
        }
    }  

    location @nested1 {
        rewrite /service/(.*)$ /service/index.php?/$1 last;
    }

    # end service

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
        fastcgi_buffers 16 16k;
        fastcgi_buffer_size 32k;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.2-fpm-torrentp.sock;

  • Laravel Database Migration Error Key too long

    When doing a database migration on Laravel, I get the following error

    $ php artisan migrate

  [Illuminate\Database\QueryException]                                                                                                                                                 
  SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes (SQL: alter table `users` add unique `users_email_unique`(`email`))  

  [PDOException]                                                                                                   
  SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes  
$

    This is because MariaDB uses a different UTF8 format.

    To fix, edit file

    vi ./app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

    Inside, find

        public function boot()
    {
        //
    }

    Replace with

        public function boot()
    {
        Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
    }

    You will also need to add

    use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

    here is what my file looks like after editing.

    $ cat ./app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php
<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class AppServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        Schema::defaultStringLength(191);
    }

    /**
     * Register any application services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        //
    }
}
$

  • Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long

    When running database migration in a new larvel project, i get following error

    boby@hon-pc-01:~/www/proxy (master)$ php artisan migrate

    In Connection.php line 664:

    SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes (SQL: alter table `users` add unique `users_email_unique`(`email`))

    In Connection.php line 458:

    SQLSTATE[42000]: Syntax error or access violation: 1071 Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

    boby@hon-pc-01:~/www/proxy (master)$

    This is due to recent change in Lavral, that changed default charset to utf8mb4.

    To fix this error, open file

    vi app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php

    Find 

    use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

    Add below

    use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

    Find

        public function boot()
    {
        //
    }

    Replace with

        public function boot()
    {
        Schema::defaultStringlength(191);
    }
