title: Laravel 5 Application Key
body: <p>I am new to Laravel. I just started it tonight. Actually, I have the following code: </p>
  
  <pre><code>'key' =&gt; env('APP_KEY', 'SomeRandomString'),
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In <em>xampp/htdocs/laravel/blog/config/app.php</em>.<br>
  I want to change this key to 32-bit by cmd as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>xampp\htdocs\laravel/blog&gt;php artisan key:generate 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It generates the key but could not replace/update in <em>xampp/htdocs/laravel/blog/config/app.php</em>.</p>
