Laravel 5.5 The page has expired due to inactivity error while sending form

Question

I'am using laravel 5.5 and it gives me that "The page has expired due to inactivity. Please refresh and try again." This is awkward because I never encounter this error. Same codes but different laravel version..

My form;

{!! Form::open(['url'=>'admin/save-social']) !!}
{{ Form::label('pinterest', 'Pinterest;', ['class' => 'control-label']) }}
{{ Form::text('pinterest', null, ['class' => 'form-control'])}}
{{ Form::label('linkedn', 'Linkedn;', ['class' => 'control-label'])}}
{{ Form::text('linkedn', null, ['class' => 'form-control'])}}
{{ Form::label('facebook', 'Facebook;', ['class' => 'control-label']) }}
{{ Form::text('facebook', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}
{{ Form::label('twitter', 'Twitter;', ['class' => 'control-label']) }}
{{ Form::text('twitter', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}
{{ Form::label('instagram', 'İnstagram;', ['class' => 'control-label']) }}
{{ Form::text('instagram', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}
{{ Form::submit('Save', ['class'=>'btn btn-success btn-lg btn-block']) }}
{!! Form::close()!!}

And config/session.php

<?php

return [
    'driver' => env('SESSION_DRIVER', 'file'),
    'lifetime' => 120,
    'expire_on_close' => false,
    'encrypt' => false,
    'files' => storage_path('framework/sessions'),
    'connection' => null,
    'table' => 'sessions',
    'store' => null,
    'lottery' => [2, 100],
    'cookie' => env(
        'SESSION_COOKIE',
        str_slug(env('APP_NAME', 'laravel'), '_').'_session'
    ),
    'path' => '/',
    'domain' => env('SESSION_DOMAIN', null),
    'secure' => env('SESSION_SECURE_COOKIE', false),
    'http_only' => true,
    'same_site' => null,
];

Answer 1

Since these commands has solved your problem in the comments i should write it as an answer . Try these commands and start your form again

 php artisan cache:clear
 php artisan config:clear 
 php artisan route:clear 
 php artisan view:clear

Answer 2

I assume that you are using laravel collective for forms builder.

Probably your issue is associate with CSRF Protection (https://laravelcollective.com/docs/master/html#csrf-protection).

Please check the above link and ensure that you include CSRF based on method or explicit Form::token();

Answer 3

Another point is that Laravelcollective maybe not is available for laravel 5.5. You can check this issue from GitHub and find a workaround for collective in Laravel 5.5 https://github.com/LaravelCollective/html/issues/364

Answer 4

Try out the following statements:

php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan view:clear

It worked for me. Enjoy
