Unable to login or create an account

[mjs2020]

Hi,
Love the concept and would like to try to run on my own. I installed successfully on a VPS and am serving using Apache instead of runnung

php artisan serve

I get the homepage loading correctly and can also navigate the demo content and get to the login and register pages. However I can neither register a new account nor login with the test one. Either action takes me back to the homepage in a not logged in status. I tried both in Firefox and Chrome.

Only error I see in the console is the folowing:

Error: [ng:areq] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.2.16/ng/areq?p0=HomeCtrl&p1=not%20a%20function%2C%20got%20undefinedError: [ng:areq] http://errors.angularjs.org/1.2.16/ng/areq?p0=HomeCtrl&p1=not%20a%20function%2C%20got%20undefined

I'd be happy to provide further info or a link (in private) to the install.

Francesco

Hi !

Thank you for this report. Yes, very strange behaviour.
Do you have access to Laravel's log files ? To see if anything is reported here.

It may be a permission problem (by default, Laravel handles sessions with files in app/storage/sessions) on filesystem. Can you check if permissions are set correctly ? :)

Hi!
app/storage/sessions had permissions set to 775. I also tried 777 but no change.

Laravel's logs in app/storage/logs/laravel.log have the following:

Strangely I did some more tests today (27th Oct) but the only two logs are the ones above from the 22nd of Oct. I tried changing the settings in app/config/mail.php to use sendmail instead of smtp and added a from email address but no change.

Hi,
I've changed my PHP runtime. I was having this issue while running php 5.6. If I downgrade to php 5.4 I get other errors from Laravel displayed on screen when I login. If I use php 5.5 it seems to work just right!
