LogicException in CryptKey.php line 44: Laravel

Question

I followed the documentation and configured Laravel Passport as mention here https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/passport

but am getting the error

Key path "file://C:\wamp64\www\blog\storage\oauth-public.key" does not exist or is not readable

Answer 1

For users using wamp on windows, download openssl from https://code.google.com/archive/p/openssl-for-windows/downloads and extract it. Add the path /bin to environment variables and then run

php artisan passport:install

Answer 2

I had that error too, If you are on windows the command

php artisan passport:keys

needs openssl program, If you using xampp, then you already have that program on

C:\xampp\apache\bin

so add that path to system variables "if you need help with that just comment, I'll help you" after adding it run the command

php artisan passport:keys

and make sure that it worked by looking in your storage folder, you should find the missing .key files

Answer 3

If you are on a Mac OS then go to the terminal and make sure you are in your directory. The best steps to do are the following:

• composer update
• php artisan migrate
• php artisan passport:install
