Laravel always takes me to login page - laravel

Question

I'm using Laravel 5's auth module for my app. However after I created the auth functions with php artisan make:auth I can only access two paths:/login and /register no matter how I add routes in the routes.php. All other paths redirect me to the login page. How can I enable users to access certain paths without logging? Thanks.
routes.php:
<?php
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register all of the routes for an application.
| It's a breeze. Simply tell Laravel the URIs it should respond to
| and give it the controller to call when that URI is requested.

*/
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Route::auth();
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController#index');
Route::get('/patient', 'HomeController#registerPatient');
Route::get('test', 'HomeController#index');
Route::group(array('before' =>'auth'), function()
{
Route::get('about', array('as' => 'about','uses' => 'HomeController#about'));
}
);
Route::group(array('before' =>'auth'), function()
{
Route::get('/physician', array('as' => 'physician','uses' => 'HomeController#registerPhysician'));
}
);

Answer 1

Can you share your controller code? i mean do you have the auth middleware in ur controller construct?
Route::group(['middleware' => 'web'], function () {
Route::auth();
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController#index');
Route::get('/patient', 'HomeController#registerPatient');
Route::get('test', 'HomeController#index');
});
Route::group(array('before' =>'auth'), function()
{
Route::get('/physician', array('as' => 'physician','uses' => 'HomeController#registerPhysician'));
Route::get('about', array('as' => 'about','uses' => 'HomeController#about'));
}
);
anyway check ur construct method in the homecontrollerand apply the auth middlewere only to certain methods
exemple
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('auth', ['except' => [
'about',
'index',
]]);
}
}
