Laravel 4 Authentication does not work and gives NO ERROR - laravel

Question

I have been searching for solutions and changing my code back and forth but nothing worked for me and I honestly have given up hope to fix it by myself.
It stays on the same page and does not Redirect::to('test2'), but stays in the same page and when I remove the else { return Redirect::to('login'), it gives me a blank page.
Any help would be extremely appreciated.
This is my user model file:
protected $fillable=['email', 'password'];
protected $table = 'users';
protected $hidden = array('password', 'remember_token');
protected $primaryKey = 'id';
public static $rules = array(
'email' => 'required|email',
'password' => 'required',
);
public function getAuthIdentifier()
{
return $this->getKey();
}
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->password;
}
public function getReminderEmail()
{
return $this->email;
}
This is my routing functions:
Route::get('/login', function(){
return View::make('login');
});
Route::post('/login', function(){
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), User::$rules);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return Redirect::to('login')
->withErrors($validator)
->withInput(Input::except('password'));
} else {
$userData = array(
'email' => Input::get('email'),
'password' => Input::get('password')
);
if (Auth::attempt($userData)) {
return Redirect::to('test2');
echo 'SUCCESS!';
} else {
return Redirect::to('login');
}
}

I have been struggling around with the hash at beginning.
1. If the length of your password column isn't 60 then it wouldn't allow you to login.
2. Before logging via Auth::attempt() instead try to fetch the data of the user using his username
and then compare the password using Hash::check()
try something this
Route::post('/login', function(){
$validator = Validator::make(Input::all(), User::$rules);
if ($validator->fails()) {
return Redirect::to('login')
->withErrors($validator)
->withInput(Input::except('password'));
} else {
$email=Input::get('email');
$user=User::where('email','=',$email)->first();
$bool=Hash::check('your password for the email',$user->password);
if(bool)
{
if (Auth::attempt(Input::only('email','password')))
{
return Redirect::to('test2');
echo 'SUCCESS!';
}else{
return Redirect::to('login');
}
}else{
return echo 'password didn't matche';
}
}
