Cannot serialize or unserialize PDO instances

Hi all,

I'm starting this topic because I have a problem with my new development app. I pushed it to Digital Ocean thanks to Forge.

I can access the login page as expected. But as soon as I login, I get this strange message, which I never met:

Whoops, looks like something went wrong.

PDOException in FileStore.php line 98:

My app is running laravel 5.1. And I use the regular AuthController and PasswordController code to manage login.

Did anyone have this message. If so, how did you manage to solve it?

Thanks

EDIT

By looking closer at the error message, I wonder if it could be related to the cache. As 'forever' and 'rememberForever' are logged in this error message.

My bad. I was calling this in a View Composer :

public function compose(View $view)
    {
        $userProfile = Cache::rememberForever('user_'.Auth::id(), function() {
            return $this->user->find(Auth::id())->with('profile');
        });

        $view->with('user', $userProfile);
    }

For some reason, I had to remove the "with('profile')" call . Still on the way to become a Laravel Jedi ...
