Laravel 5 $request->header is null when loging in

@RingoStyle

Please clear cache and reload your page.

Make sure if you are not using Angular ..

<form action="/foo/bar" method="POST">    
    <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
</form>

for more see.. http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/routing#csrf-x-xsrf-token

Hello! I am not using Angular. The code I am using on my view is:

{!!Form::open(['route'=>['auth_login_path'], 'method'=>'POST'])!!}
{!!Form::close()!!}

I cleared my cache but still not working. Why could it be that it works perfect on my local machine, but on webserver it jumps this token exception?.

@RingoStyle

I think this do the trick - I think this might be issue of permission

In config/session.php - if session storage is of type file and if 'files' => storage_path('framework/sessions')

On server give writeable permission to folder - app/storage/framework/sessions
It is better to give permission to app/storage folder

of course after doing this,

run artisan command cache:clear and clear browser cache also

Ok first of all, thank you very much for your help! I really appreciate it. I am following your last steps like this:

• Checked my files path: 'files' => storage_path().'/framework/sessions',
• chmod 777 storage
• Cleared cache via artisan cache:clear
• Cleared cache from my browser

Refreshed my view, and I still get the problem. Is there any segment of the code you'd like me to paste here? I am almost 4 hours trying to fix this issue.

Also I gave chmod 777 to sessions. Btw everytime I try to log in, it generates 3 new files on my sessions folder.

hmmm , not sure can you just try ..instead of blade form

<form action="/foo/bar" method="POST">    
    <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="@{{ csrf_token() }}">
</form>

consider value = double curly bracket + csrf_token() + doublecurly bracket

:( It was like that before, I changed to Blade form hoping it will fix it but didnt fix. Since I copied it from my local machine to the webserver (cpanel), is there a chance it is trying to find a path from my pc? I did a deep search for the paths and Laravel doesnt use static routes so I discarded that posibility

@RingoStyle

as per documentation, In addition to checking for the CSRF token as a POST parameter, the Laravel VerifyCsrfToken middleware will also check for the X-CSRF-TOKEN request header. You could, for example, store the token in a "meta" tag:

<meta name="csrf-token" content="\{\{ csrf_token() \}\}">

content=double curly bracket + csrf_token() + double curly bracket

Lol I am having difficulties copying my code :P Not good results yet :)

I did what you said still have the problem.

Where does it gets this value from? $request->header('X-CSRF-TOKEN')

Because on the views Head I added the meta data you mentioned.

And sorry I make this silly question, how can I add code blocks in this text editor? I think I would help more if I add my code blocks

for mark down

usually meta tag provides header

No luck my friend. This is weird,and what if I install a new laravel 5.0 from scratch? and copy paste the folders of my views, controllers, requests, mid... etc.

@RingoStyle If you want to install new then go for Laravel 5.1

but still I will look in this when will get time

@RingoStyle

see https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/verify-csrf-token

Resolved by some serverside settings -

OK, I submited a ticket to my webserver support so I hope that fixes it. meanwhile I did what I told you about instaling laravel 5.0 from scratch and after that copied all my files, but didnt work ...

Thank you for helping me :)

My friend I fixed it, the problem was that I made my own AuthController the same way that I used to do it on versions 4.x. So I had a wrong constructor build and I wasnt using the trait AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers.

It is still weird that my wrong implementation worked perfectly on my local env.

Now I am finally logging in succesfuly!! I am facing one new minor issue now, but Im probably gonna give it some time to try to fix it myself but I have a terrible headache. It is about @include('dashboard_main_content'), it says that _main_content does not exist.
