Api: "Unable to boot ApiServiceProvider, configure an API domain or prefix" with API_PREFIX defined

Created on 20 Jun 2016 · 10Comments · Source: dingo/api

Hi, i got this error in production server

RuntimeException in DingoServiceProvider.php line 82:
Unable to boot ApiServiceProvider, configure an API domain or prefix.

but in my .env file API_PREFIX is defined.

API_PREFIX=api

I can check my env variable within tinker

$ php artisan tinker
Psy Shell v0.7.2 (PHP 5.6.21-1~dotdeb+7.1 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> env('API_PREFIX', null)
=> "api"
>>> exit
Exit:  Goodbye.

And it is OK, but my app still doesnt work. Can someone help? Thx ;)

I had the same problem when using a boilerplate template from
https://github.com/francescomalatesta/laravel-api-boilerplate-jwt

Resolved it by updating my config/api.php file, changing line 60 from
'prefix' => env('API_PREFIX', null),

to
'prefix' => env('API_PREFIX', 'api'),

Hm, can't think of why you're getting this error if you've got it defined. Have you published/modified the API configuration file at all?

API configuration is published. Not modified.

That means your environment is not being set properly and using the default value you just set

Just installed, upgraded everything, composer update etc. and had the same problem.
@barrelmonkey 's fix worked. Despite having the variable set in the .env file....

Sorry, API_PREFIX wasn't setup in my .env file.
