You do not mention your installation steps. Presume you did the following:

composer require laravel/passport

Register the service provider inside config/app.php

Laravel\Passport\PassportServiceProvider::class,

Run the migrations

php artisan migrate

Lastly generate the keys using

php artisan passport:install

I see you are trying it on Windows. I saw an OpenSSL problem on Windows, might help you.

  • Up for OpenSSL problem on windowns, GnuWin seems to be my issue – Sabri Aziri Sep 14 '16 at 16:11
  • anyone facing this issue in production laravel forge, you need to simply ssh into forge "ssh forge@ip_address_here" , then just run "php artisan passport:install --force" (force to overwrite the keys) This will generate the keys and have them in place – Manas Oct 02 '20 at 09:59

This is because you didn't generate Oauth keys using passport keys.

Run

php artisan passport:keys

After that run the following command to generate a personal access client

php artisan passport:client --personal

Enter the details it asks you. Then you are done.

May be storage/oauth-private.key and storage/oauth-private.key are absent and you imported the old database. For this scenario please run the following command.

php artisan passport:keys

Try this solution if you imported the old database where passport related data already stored. Otherwise, follow the accepted answer.

Had the same error with Ubuntu and in my case the problem was with permissions, running this solved the issue:

sudo chown www-data:www-data storage/oauth-*.key

We get this error because passport is not installed correctly

Solution is simple just run this command:

php artisan passport:install

go straight to .gitignore file in the root of laravel project and remove /storage/*.key line. Perhaps your server isn't allowing to write the keys file in the directory. Upload or publish your repo again.

OpenSSL was not installed on my windows machine

  1. Download GnuWi
  2. Extract bin/openssl.exe into a Environment Variable Path directory (You can create your own bin folder in your user folder or something and add that path to the Path Variable)
  3. Open a new command prompt(Existing ones may not have the newest environment variables)
  4. Run php artisan passport:install

Edited

In windows by using git BASH you don't need to install any additional software only run php artisan passport:install from BASH and it should work.

I use Heroku. As far as I know, Heroku add OpenSSL support by default (https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/php-support).

All the things, like php artisan install:passport did run without any issue and my project is also available on the web.

When I asked for php artisan route:list then I received this exception:

[LogicException]
  Key path "file:///app/storage/oauth-private.key" does not exist or is not readable

What seems to me the same as above.

I did everything also local successfully. After these steps git showed I have the key filed in my storage folder, so I committed and pushed them to Heroku.

This solved the issue, now everything is okay also on Heroku.

(Is it okay, to have the same keys here and there?)

    If you are in windows, you should install openSSL(please read the post below) and I am not sure if is it ok or not but for security reasons please add another key in production. – Sabri Aziri Sep 14 '16 at 16:17
  • I think your answer deserves a vote up. For what ever reason , may be for safety purpose, it was ignored in the .gitignore and heroku is throwing error 500. So in my case i just have to remove it from .gitignore and pushed and it is working. I also tried running php artisan passport:install or passport:keys on heroku using the command line but it did not work. – Jerry Okafor Dec 10 '16 at 10:27

    It's generally a bad practice to have private keys in version control. – jsphpl Sep 02 '17 at 21:14

    I found a solution running with heroku cli `heroku ps:exec` then running command `php artisan passport:keys` – David L Oct 16 '17 at 19:18

I manually set my password_client value in the oauth_clients table to 1 and it worked.

Everything worked fine on the local system, faced the same problem on production system. In my case, git ignored keys for good reason. Just executed php artisan passport:keys on production server everything worked.

In my case It just doesnt work - I try everyging - probably problem with file access (however ls -la looks fine) - so i generate that keys in other machine and copy to serwer - and php artisan passport:install start works

Adding this to composer.json did the trick for me:

"scripts": { "post-install-cmd": [ "php artisan clear-compiled", "php artisan optimize", "chmod -R 777 storage", "php artisan passport:keys" ], }

I don't know if this is the ideal solution but removing /storage/*.key from .gitignore then pushing did the trick for me.
