cPanel woes

Hi Everyone. I have a laravel app that works on the test server, and works on a cPanel install that is very similar to a 2nd cPanel install. The 2nd cpanel install does does not seem to allow the jetstream authentication framework with a Livewire stack to work. no errors, just simply drops us back to the login page, with no movement forward. there is no logging of error, there is simply non progression. I have tested all my code, and it works on 2 out of 3 server implementations. I am beside myself with this. there seems to be no distinguishing characteristic between the two cPanel installs that jumps out as the culprit. any advice is greatly welcomed.

You have checked obvious things like correct PHP version, correct connection to database, Etc.

@jlrdw yes indeed. the site loads, and mysql and php are functioning and are the correct versions

(SOLVED!) This issue was caused by a bizarre thing - every so often, and it's ongoing - a folder called 'login' with an htaccess file is written, and when it is present, it causes an issue with authentication. Once I delete it, users can log in again. It is not coming from anything I have written, and I think it may be left over from something the server admin had going with Cloudflare. or maybe a php version controller is writing some access rules. But this was not an issue with Laravel itself or any of the code from Jetstream.
