Token Mismatch Exception on Login (Laravel)

Question

I followed this tutorial on creating a registration and login page using Laravel.

Everything works smoothly, the only issue is that I am unable to Login. If I provid

I had this problem on login also. From time to time this exception occurred so I stop and tried to reproduce it. I succeed by doing this:

First I load the login page.

Then I deleted the cookies.

Then, without reloading the login page, I entered username and password and tried to login.

Because session was deleted (when I deleted the cookies), it was normal that this code was not going to pass and it will throw the TokenMismatchException.

Route::filter('csrf', function() {
    if ( Session::getToken() != Input::get('_token')) {
        throw new Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException;
    }
});

So, what I've done to solve my problem was to add a redirect to login page with a message to inform the user that the session might expired.

Route::filter('csrf', function() {
    if ( Session::getToken() != Input::get('_token')) {
        return Redirect::to('/admin/login')->with('warning', 'Your session has expired. Please try logging in again.');
    }
});

Thus, after page reloading, a new session is created and the problem is solved.
