So the title basically says it all, I am using Laravel 5.4, PHP 7.1 and on my local machine sessions are working just fine. Essentially when trying to login or reloading the page every time I get a new CSRF token which breaks everything. I am using database as my session driver and it creates a new entry into the DB every single request I make. This happened on my local machine when I first upgraded but to fix it the solution was to update my cookie_domain env variable and I got it working. However on my new server I have tried every domain I could think of and it still does not work.
Here is what I know,
-
Session cookie is not being saved under Chrome -> Application -> Cookies, this is indeed showing up on my local setup.
-
CSRF-TOKEN gets a new value every page reload but the XSRF-TOKEN cookie is present and maintains its value on every reload.
-
Both local and my new server are running the exact same git branch, and are both running apache 2.4, Laravel 5.4 and PHP 7.1 so this makes me assume it is a config issue of some kind. Both local and server are running centos 7
-
Every request creates a new session in the DB, this happens for get, post and ajax requests.
I assume this is a config issue from somewhere but I have no idea, any help would be greatly appreciated. If it helps, looking under my response Headers for my initial page load both sid and the laravel session are present under the 'Set-Cookie" command, but neither actually save to the local application cookie storage.
