Whoops, looks like something went wrong. Laravel 5.1

Question

I have a route like this

http://localhost/inspection/show/{id}

When I try to load the route at the same time. In different tabs, sometimes some of those tabs has the error "Whoops, looks like something went wrong"

Loading in different tabs so fast

http://localhost/inspection/show/8
http://localhost/inspection/show/9
http://localhost/inspection/show/10
http://localhost/inspection/show/11

The stack trace have this

[2015-08-06 14:57:53] local.ERROR: exception 'RuntimeException' with message 'No supported encrypter found. The cipher and / or key length are invalid.' in C:\wamp\www\iaserver\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Encryption\EncryptionServiceProvider.php:29

The .env file is correct, i re-run php artisan key:generate

APP_ENV=local
APP_DEBUG=true
APP_KEY=UC5Fsvi8JsGG4U72k04rS3o5csiINDYB

But the error still appears only when the route is quickly loaded with different id.

Why?

I solved, sometimes laravel not read APP_KEY in .ENV. And returns a value "SomeRandomString" (default is defined in config / app.php), and have the error "key length is invalid", so the solution is to copy the value of APP_KEY, to the value 'key 'in config / app.php, that's all! I solved!

You may try to run php artisan key:generate again, this should solve the problem.
