Can't figure out 419 error on simple form :/

@jlrdw this is what my sessions file look like:

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Str;

return [

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

    'lifetime' => env('SESSION_LIFETIME', 120),

    'expire_on_close' => env('SESSION_EXPIRE_ON_CLOSE', false),

    'encrypt' => env('SESSION_ENCRYPT', false),

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

    'connection' => env('SESSION_CONNECTION'),

    'table' => env('SESSION_TABLE', 'sessions'),

    'store' => env('SESSION_STORE'),

    'lottery' => [2, 100],

    'cookie' => env(
        'SESSION_COOKIE',
        Str::slug(env('APP_NAME', 'laravel'), '_').'_session'
    ),

    'path' => env('SESSION_PATH', '/'),

    'domain' => env('SESSION_DOMAIN'),

    'secure' => env('SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE'),

    'http_only' => env('SESSION_HTTP_ONLY', true),

    'same_site' => env('SESSION_SAME_SITE', 'lax'),

    'partitioned' => env('SESSION_PARTITIONED_COOKIE', false),

];

Any thoughts?

@respect_ is this production and cloudfare used? If so see:

https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/facing-strange-laravel-session-issue

You did php artisan migrate correct? While troubleshooting this, BACKUP any real live data so as not to loose any.

@jlrdw this is all local. All tables are already migrated. I wnet and cleared all the cache and such again.

Allow me to share some more code here if that's okay.

Waitlist Form

export default function Waitlist() {
    const { data, setData, post, processing, errors } = useForm({
        email: "",
    });

    const submit = (e) => {
        e.preventDefault();
        post(route("waitlist.store"));
    };

    return (

}

Waitlist Controller

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Waitlist;
use Inertia\Inertia;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Log;

class WaitlistController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        return Inertia::render('Waitlist');
    }

    public function store(Request $request)
    {
        Log::info('Waitlist store method hit', $request->all());

        $request->validate([
            'email' => 'required|email|unique:waitlists,email',
        ]);

        Waitlist::create([
            'email' => $request->email,
        ]);

        return redirect()->back()->with('success', 'Email address added to the waitlist.');
    }
}

web.php

Route::middleware(['web'])->group(function () {
    Route::get('/waitlist', [WaitlistController::class, 'index'])->name('waitlist.index');
    Route::post('/waitlist', [WaitlistController::class, 'store'])->name('waitlist.store');
});

Waitlist Model

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Waitlist extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    protected $fillable = ['email'];
}

I hope this helps to add some more context.

@respect_ check Inertia docs, you probably need a X-XSRF-TOKEN setup.

But i'm not that familiar with inertia.

@respect_ see if it's in the session database. The one you see has to match the one in session.

Edit:

Try writing something to session on a page, go to another page and make sure you can retrieve it.

Like:

$request->session()->put('myvalue', 'hello');

then

echo $request->session()->get('myvalue');

@jlrdw nothing is in the sessions table currently. The waitlist page is front facing, so no auth should be required.

@respect_ see my edited reply.

Reread this: https://inertiajs.com/csrf-protection

@jlrdw I tried to write to the sessions, nothing. I'll just hang up the towel for now. Thanks for trying to help.

@respect_ something must be setup wrong. I suggest watching some of the videos from this very site and you might catch what is wrong.

Many of the videos are free.

Or at least review each pertinent section in the documentation. Probably one little thing needs tweaked.
