How to redirect to login page in Laravel 5.2 on session timeout?

try this, working on my last project.

on your app/Exception/Handler.php

    public function render($request, Exception $e)
    {
        if ($e instanceof ModelNotFoundException) {
            $e = new NotFoundHttpException($e->getMessage(), $e);
        }

        if ($e instanceof \Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException) {    

          // flash your message

            \Session::flash('flash_message_important', 'Sorry, your session seems to have expired. Please try again.'); 

            return redirect('login');
        }

        return parent::render($request, $e);
    }

Does this work with the time set in config/session?

@omrakhurs yes.

not working. Here is my config/session :

return [

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Default Session Driver
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Supported: "file", "cookie", "database", "apc",
|            "memcached", "redis", "array"
|
*/

'driver' => env('SESSION_DRIVER', 'file'),

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Session Lifetime
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*/

'lifetime' => 1,

'expire_on_close' => true,

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Session Encryption
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*/

'encrypt' => false,

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Session File Location
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*/

'files' => storage_path('framework/sessions'),

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Session Database Connection
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*/

'connection' => null,

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Session Database Table
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*/

'table' => 'sessions',

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Session Sweeping Lottery
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*/

'lottery' => [2, 100],

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Session Cookie Name
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*/

'cookie' => 'laravel_session',

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Session Cookie Path
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*/

'path' => '/',

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Session Cookie Domain
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*/

'domain' => null,

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| HTTPS Only Cookies
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

*/

'secure' => false,

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| HTTP Access Only
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
*/

'http_only' => true,

];

php artisan config:cache

@omrakhurs

1 Change 'driver' => env('SESSION_DRIVER', 'file'), to 'driver' => env('SESSION_DRIVER', 'database') in config/session

2 create database sessions

php artisan session:table

composer dump-autoload

php artisan migrate

then try your code if been error show me your error

answer maybe correct but some context be helpful...why do you have to create a db table to get the session timeout to work?

Also i changed the time value session_lifetime in my .env file and it worked... didnt work in the session.php file for me either...

still trying to work out how to redirect user to login page after session time out....
