I recently tried to change my
Route::controllers([
'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController',
]);
to
Route::controllers([
'/' => 'Auth\AuthController',
]);
however, I noticed that this puts the entire site into a perminant redirect loop to a single page when one logs in(if one logs out, the problem disappears). Can anyone explain to me why this is and how to get around this? I would like the auth routes in the root rather in auth/ if possible.
NOTE: The welcome and home controllers are both commented out so they cannot conflict.
Thanks.
I found the problem to be the ordering of routes. When I pulled up the route list, I noticed that the routes for auth included login/, logout/ and {_missing}. The {_missing} route was intercepting every other route call since it was declared before all of my other routes. Thus, since the {_missing} route uses the guest middleware, it redirected to the home.
