And I have this difficulty that I don't know how to log in my currently registered user

What do you mean? They can't login via the login form, or you're trying to manually log them in via your own code? Are you using laravels built in auth system? You'll need to provide a little more info.

That typically has something to do with sessions not being generated. If you're using the file driver for sessions (the default setting), keep an eye on /storage/framework/sessions and see if new session files are being generated, and when they are being generated. It could be that that directory doesn't have write permissions for the web server user, so it can't write the session files.

@Cronix I checked the sessions and there's a file generated

a:5:{s:6:"_flash";a:2:{s:3:"old";a:0:{}s:3:"new";a:0:{}}s:6:"_token";s:40:"IBcHQRsnm3luvrNhBuCHuKE9MzghvrA0ck6KSSbX";s:9:"_previous";a:1:{s:3:"url";s:26:"http://127.0.0.1:8000/home";}s:3:"url";a:1:{s:8:"intended";s:27:"http://127.0.0.1:8000/login";}s:50:"login_web_59ba36addc2b2f9401580f014c7f58ea4e30989d";i:4;}

and when you log in, does it change the session data?

Level 1

@Cronix yes it changed the session data.

Level 67

So what actually happens when they go to yoursite.com/login, fill in their credentials and they attempt to login? Are there any errors? Is there anything useful in /storage/logs/laravel.log?

Level 1

@Cronix there's no error at all because I didn't put any routes yet at web.php It just kept redirecting to /login

@m4martie So, you don't even have Auth::routes(); in your /routes/web.php route file?
