Logout and Login not working after routing Nova to path=> '/'

I have access to the logout button but it does nothing but spin waiting for my localhost to respond. I changed the path to '/' in nova.php and that is what is happening. If I go back to path => '/nova' then I get the login page with the same thing happening. localhost is waiting ..... Please let me know what portion of the code you would like to see if you have any clues where this error might be coming from. Thank you.

Edit: Changed path => '', as an empty string and that fixed the logout. Now what remains is the login. That is not working still.
