Password reset laravel 4.2 with Token

Question

I'm new to Laravel and I making some test on a system which use version 4.2. I'm trying to follow Documentation for password reset. So far I'm able to post my email for password reset and I get token on my email.

When I open the URL from email with the token I get this error:

exception 'Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Exception\NotFoundHttpException'

The url is: http://example.com/reset/20e2535a11f7c88d1132c55c752a3a8569adbf5f

This is my route

Route::get('/password', ['uses' => 'RemindersController@getRemind']);
Route::get('/reset', ['uses' => 'RemindersController@getReset']);

This is in RemindersController

public function getReset($token = null)
{
    if (is_null($token)) App::abort(404);

    return View::make('site.reset')->with('token', $token);
}

And the form from the doc's

<form action="{{ action('RemindersController@postReset') }}" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="token" value="{{ $token }}">
    <input type="email" name="email">
    <input type="password" name="password">
    <input type="password" name="password_confirmation">
    <input type="submit" value="Reset Password">
</form>

I understand the error.. it is saying that the path/file isn't found but it is there..

check if your default controller or default security controller isn't loaded somewhere and it doesn't not overwrite the 'reset' route, get in your application directory using command line and type:

php artisan routes

This should show you if your route is registered and to which controller/action.

I don't have access to ssh terminal and can't run the command – VLS Dec 06 '16 at 12:19

in your html form, there is the action() method called RemindersController@postReset:

<form action="{{ action('RemindersController@postReset') }}" method="POST">
    <input type="hidden" name="token" value="{{ $token }}">
    <input type="email" name="email">
    <input type="password" name="password">
    <input type="password" name="password_confirmation">
    <input type="submit" value="Reset Password">
</form>

but your route uses GET. You have to use POST

change your route from:

Route::get('/reset', ['uses' => 'RemindersController@getReset']);

to:

Route::post('/reset', ['uses' => 'RemindersController@getReset']);

i think you could use this way. its maybe better:

Route::match(['GET','POST'], ['uses' => 'RemindersController@getRemind']);

Update: Route should have also token in it because the url is /reset/token:

Route::get('/reset/{token}', ['uses' => 'RemindersController@getReset']);

But my reset.blade is in `/site/` not in /`auth/` – VLS Dec 06 '16 at 12:32
@VLS try to change it to auth and then try again – Blueblazer172 Dec 06 '16 at 12:34
I will just for a test.. but I don't want it there. – VLS Dec 06 '16 at 12:34
This time with Route::match I've got: `'Missing argument 3 for Illuminate\Routing\Router::match(),...` – VLS Dec 06 '16 at 12:43
Maybe you add some wrong routes. try the oder one: `Route::post('/reset', ['uses' => 'RemindersController@getReset']);` – Blueblazer172 Dec 06 '16 at 12:45
the route controller should look like this: `Route::controller('/auth', 'AuthController');` – Blueblazer172 Dec 06 '16 at 12:46
Where `Route::controller('/auth', 'AuthController');` this should be? – VLS Dec 06 '16 at 12:48
before your other controllers – Blueblazer172 Dec 06 '16 at 12:49
I don't understand why I need AuthController.. I have user controller in which I have login/register etc which they works perfectly – VLS Dec 06 '16 at 12:51
yeah so add them to your reset token page – Blueblazer172 Dec 06 '16 at 12:52
@VLS here is a detailed axplanaition: http://stackoverflow.com/a/23594166/5930557 – Blueblazer172 Dec 06 '16 at 12:53
Okay. I have file gallery in `views/site/gallery.blade.php` and route `Route::get ('/gallery', ['uses' => 'HomeController@gallery']);` this one works perfectly when open `http://example.com/gallery` then I have file `views/site/reset.blade.php` which should open when I load ``http://example.com/reset` but it doesn't. Same structure .. – VLS Dec 06 '16 at 13:00
Found it. I knew it was something silly. I'm trying to open `/reset/TOKEN` but the route is `/reset/` ... When I've added token to route like: `Route::get('/reset/{token}', ['uses' => 'RemindersController@getReset']);` it's loaded. – VLS Dec 06 '16 at 13:04
Will accept answer for quid me to here. Also for the get/post routes. – VLS Dec 06 '16 at 13:05
@VLS fine :) you can edit my answer so that other people with the same problem find that – Blueblazer172 Dec 06 '16 at 13:05
@VLS thanks for that :) if there is something you can add me to a chat – Blueblazer172 Dec 06 '16 at 13:06
Not really. Issue is fixed. Thanks. – VLS Dec 06 '16 at 13:08
