Laravel 5 TokenMismatchException

Question

I know that this is an issue largely discussed and I have read a lot of posts about this but cannot find a solution.

I have developed a site locally on my PC and everything runs beautifully. I then put the site on my personal site to see how it would function. Upon doing this everything seemed to work except the Authentication part of my site. When I try to log in to my application I receive this error TokenMismatchException in VerifyCsrfToken.php line 46

I did not get this error locally but receive it when it is on my host server. Is there something I missed? need to change in a config file?

I have updated my .env, app.php, database.php files to run with my personal site. I made sure that this <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}"> element was right under my <form> tag as seen from other posts with this similar problem.

Ideas?

HTML:

<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="POST" action="">
    <input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">

Try to clear your cache, then run `php artisan key:generate`, and make sure the generated key is placed in your .env file. — Mina Abadir, Dec 05 '15 at 05:40

If You are posting form using jquery then you should include csrf_token()

$_token = "{{ csrf_token() }}";
$.post( 'myurl', { param1: $param1, param2: $param2, _token: $_token })
.done(function( data )
{
     console.log('Done!');
});

And if you are posting the form directly and facing the same problem then goto app/Http/Resquests/Kernel.php and comment this line

\App\Http\Middleware\VerifyCsrfToken::class

See this answer and avoid doing what suggested above all the time.

jQuery add CSRF token to all $.post() requests' data

I am not using jQuery though. Unless Laravel does this behind the scenes? – IE5Master Dec 04 '15 at 23:32
Oh sorry, got caught up in the other answer. No laravel does not use jquery. Your field seems to be ok. You could try to use {{ crsf_field() }} instead of the input. This will create the whole input field. – Tim van Uum Dec 05 '15 at 00:09
so instead of ` – IE5Master Dec 05 '15 at 02:46
