The Page Has Expired Due To Inactivity. Please Refresh And Try Again. laravel 5.6 using auth of laravel

Question

laravel version: 5.6 (latest) php version: 7.1.14 System: Linux Server API: Apache 2.0 Handler

My problem is that when I run the app in localhost it works fine but when I uploaded this on server Homepage works fine but when I try to login in or try to sign up it shows error:

"The page has expired due to inactivity. Please refresh and try again"

When i just deleted the views folder inside /public_html/vendor/laravel/framework/src/Illuminate/Foundation/Exceptions/ then i'm getting this:

My blade Code:

<div class="form-group row">
    <label for="email" class="col-sm-4 col-form-label text-md-right">{{ __('E-Mail Address') }}</label>
    <div class="col-md-6">
        <input id="email" type="email" class="form-control{{ $errors->has('email') ? ' is-invalid' : '' }}" name="email" value="{{ old('email') }}" required autofocus>
        @if ($errors->has('email'))
            <span class="invalid-feedback">
                 <strong>{{ $errors->first('email') }}</strong>
            </span>
        @endif
    </div>
</div>

<div class="form-group row">
     <label for="password" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right">{{ __('Password') }}</label>
     <div class="col-md-6">
        <input id="password" type="password" class="form-control{{ $errors->has('password') ? ' is-invalid' : '' }}" name="password" required>
        @if ($errors->has('password'))
            <span class="invalid-feedback">
                 <strong>{{ $errors->first('password') }}</strong>
            </span>
        @endif
     </div>
</div>

<div class="form-group row">
    <div class="col-md-6 offset-md-4">
        <div class="checkbox">
            <label>
                <input type="checkbox" name="remember" {{ old('remember') ? 'checked' : '' }}> {{ __('Remember Me') }}
            </label>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

<div class="form-group row mb-0">
    <div class="col-md-8 offset-md-4">
        <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
            {{ __('Login') }}
        </button>
        <a class="btn btn-link" href="{{ route('password.request') }}">
            {{ __('Forgot Your Password?') }}
        </a>
    </div>
</div>
</form>

How to fix this? I also tried all the previous question suggestion. I have also see that its it as 'domain' => env('SESSION_DOMAIN', null), and nothin in .env like session_domain

Answer 1

Anytime you define an HTML form in your application, you should include a hidden CSRF token field in the form so that the CSRF protection middleware can validate the request. You may use the csrf_field helper to generate the token field:

<form method="POST" action="/profile">
    {{ csrf_field() }}
    ...
</form>

With Laravel 5.6 and higher version using Blades templates, it's pretty easy.

<form method="POST" action="/profile">
    @csrf
    ...
</form>

NOTE: It doesn't work, then Refresh the browser cache and now it might work

Answer 2

You need to add the csrf_filed to your form. add this just after your opening form tag.

{{ csrf_field() }}

Edit: in laravel 5.6 you can just do @csrf after the form tag.
