Laravel Echo 500 error not receiving pusher event

Question

i had a problem when using presence channel in Laravel Echo with pusher. when I fire an event, i get 500 error from BroadcastException without the response body which is hard for me to debug it. when i look to pusher debug console, the presence event was listened by pusher. so i assume my event has never been fired to Pusher. Here is the preview in my network tab

my controller:

public function store() {
    $user = auth()->user();

    $message = $user->messages()->create([
        'message' => request('message')
    ]);

    event(new MessageReceived($message, $user));

    return ['status' => 'OK'];
}

the MessageReceived class

namespace App\Events;


class MessageReceived implements ShouldBroadcast
{
   use Dispatchable, InteractsWithSockets, SerializesModels;

   public $message;

   public $user;

/**
 * Create a new event instance.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function __construct(Message $message, User $user)
{
    $this->message = $message;

    $this->user = $user;
}

/**
 * Get the channels the event should broadcast on.
 *
 * @return Channel|array
 */
public function broadcastOn()
{
    return new PresenceChannel('chatroom');
}
}

and here is my vuejs

mounted() {
    axios.get('/messages')
        .then(response => {
            this.messages = response.data
        })
        .catch(error => {
            console.log(error)
        })

    Echo.join('chatroom')
        .listen('MessageReceived', (e) => {
            console.log(e) //never get into this
        })
},

i can't find where the error is. i use cluster ap1 and is declared in broadcasting.php and in my bootstrap.js. anyone can help me out?

This can be caused by an error in your configuration. Here are some things to check:

In your .env file, make sure the pusher id, key, and secret are correctly set.
If you upgraded from Laravel 5.3 to Laravel 5.4, note that the .env variables PUSHER_KEY is now PUSHER_APP_KEY and PUSHER_SECRET is now PUSHER_APP_SECRET
In your config/broadcasting.php, make sure the cluster is set correctly.

If you are not in HTTPS, you may have to set the 'encrypted key to false

'options' => [
    'cluster' => 'ap1', // change this to your app's cluster
    'encrypted' => false,
],
