Laravel 5.6 Auth /admin showing blank page with or

Question

I am new to Laravel and its 5.6 version. I setup a Auth login using few commands over there. All is good going. But when I uploaded to my own live server then when I run site.com/admin [that should be redirect to site.com/login for non login scene]. But I got a blank page. When I ran site.com.login then login page is working and I am in admin panel to work on. My question is that why my site.com/admin page is blank. all other pages are working fine.

here is my files.

routes/web.php

Route::get('/', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');;
Route::get('view/{slug?}', 'HomeController@view');

Auth::routes();
Route::prefix('admin')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/', 'Admin\AdminController@admin_index')->name('admin_index');
    Route::get('/dashboard', 'Admin\AdminController@dashboard')->name('dashboard');

    Route::get('locations', 'Admin\LocationsController@locations')->name('locations');
    Route::get('add-location', 'Admin\LocationsController@add_location')->name('add-location');
    Route::post('submit-location', 'Admin\LocationsController@submit_location')->name('submit-location');

    Route::get('posts', 'Admin\PostsController@posts')->name('posts');
    Route::get('add-post', 'Admin\PostsController@add_post')->name('add-post');
    Route::post('submit-post', 'Admin\PostsController@submit_post')->name('submit-post');
});
Route::get('/clear-cache', function() {
    $exitCode = Artisan::call('cache:clear');
});
Route::get('/logout', '\App\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');

    }

    public function admin() {

        return view('admin.index');
    }
}

anything else I can share please let me know.

Answer 1

Your issue is that you are not using isAdmin middleware. You can use middleware on route to check the admin role.

Answer 2

Change:

Route::prefix('admin')->group(function () {
Route::get('/', 'Admin\AdminController@admin_index')->name('admin_index');
Route::get('/dashboard', 'Admin\AdminController@dashboard')->name('dashboard');

Route::get('locations', 'Admin\LocationsController@locations')->name('locations');
Route::get('add-location', 'Admin\LocationsController@add_location')->name('add-location');
Route::post('submit-location', 'Admin\LocationsController@submit_location')->name('submit-location');

Route::get('posts', 'Admin\PostsController@posts')->name('posts');
Route::get('add-post', 'Admin\PostsController@add_post')->name('add-post');
Route::post('submit-post', 'Admin\PostsController@submit_post')->name('submit-post');
});

To:

Route::group([
'middleware' => ['auth', 'is_admin'],
'namespace'  => 'Admin',
'prefix'     => 'admin',
], function () {
Route::get('/', 'AdminController@admin_index')->name('admin_index');
Route::get('/dashboard', 'AdminController@dashboard')->name('dashboard');

Route::get('locations', 'LocationsController@locations')->name('locations');
Route::get('add-location', 'LocationsController@add_location')->name('add-location');
Route::post('submit-location', 'LocationsController@submit_location')->name('submit-location');

Route::get('posts', 'PostsController@posts')->name('posts');
Route::get('add-post', 'PostsController@add_post')->name('add-post');
Route::post('submit-post', 'PostsController@submit_post')->name('submit-post');
});

And:

if(auth()->user()->isAdmin()) {

To:

if(optional(auth()->user())->isAdmin()) {

Be sure you have isAdmin() function in your User model which return true or false
