Kernel.php is missing

[raw pelican]

I think my kernel.php file is missing and I cannot add middleware, what should I do? I created the project 2 days ago and I'm sure I didn't delete a file called kernel.php.

I am using Laravel11, do I need Kernel for middleware or should I use a different file?

You should use the bootstrap/app.php file to define you custom middleware.
See in docs: https://laravel.com/docs/11.x/middleware#global-middleware
