Olá pessoal, iniciei o curso de laravel e logo na primeira aula tive algumas dificuldades. Instalei o Xampp e o php que estou utilizando é o 7.1.6 Instalei o Laravel mais recente que está na versão 5.5 e não consegui encontrar o arquivo routes.php que deveria estar na pasta App/Http/routes.php talvez por ser uma versão mais recente. Então criei um novo projeto com a versão "5.0" Porem, agora ao usar o php artisan serve, acontece um erro na home do projeto:
1/1 ErrorException in Encrypter.php line 303: Function mcrypt_get_iv_size() is deprecated
in Encrypter.php line 303 at HandleExceptions->handleError('8192', 'Function mcrypt_get_iv_size() is deprecated', 'D:\WEBSRV\htdocs\estoque\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Encryption\Encrypter.php', '303', array()) in Encrypter.php line 303 at Encrypter->updateBlockSize() in Encrypter.php line 280 at Encrypter->setCipher('rijndael-128') in EncryptionServiceProvider.php line 20 at EncryptionServiceProvider->Illuminate\Encryption{closure}(object(Application), array()) in Container.php line 776 at Container->build(object(Closure), array()) in Container.php line 659 at Container->make('encrypter', array()) in Application.php line 644 at Application->make('encrypter') in Container.php line 890 at Container->resolveClass(object(ReflectionParameter)) in Container.php line 851 at Container->getDependencies(array(object(ReflectionParameter)), array()) in Container.php line 815 at Container->build('Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies', array()) in Container.php line 659 at Container->make('Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies', array()) in Application.php line 644 at Application->make('Illuminate\Cookie\Middleware\EncryptCookies') in Pipeline.php line 124 at Pipeline->Illuminate\Pipeline{closure}(object(Request)) in CheckForMaintenanceMode.php line 42 at CheckForMaintenanceMode->handle(object(Request), object(Closure)) in Pipeline.php line 125 at Pipeline->Illuminate\Pipeline{closure}(object(Request)) at call_user_func(object(Closure), object(Request)) in Pipeline.php line 100 at Pipeline->then(object(Closure)) in Kernel.php line 115 at Kernel->sendRequestThroughRouter(object(Request)) in Kernel.php line 84 at Kernel->handle(object(Request)) in index.php line 52 at require_once('D:\WEBSRV\htdocs\estoque\public\index.php') in server.php line 21
Como devo fazer para prosseguir?
