laravel auth and session not persisting - session

Question

The laravel session and auth I use have some problem in server, but working really fine in localhost . I will show.
Route
Route::get('/signin', 'PageController#signin');
Route::get('/signup', 'PageController#signup');
Route::get('/terms', 'PageController#terms');
Route::resource('/', 'PageController');
Route::controller('user', 'UserController');
PageController
public function index() {
if (Auth::check()) {
return View::make('user.index');
} else {
return View::make('landing');
}
}
UserController
public function postLogin() {
$data = array();
$secured = ['user_email' => $_POST['email'], 'password' => $_POST['password']];
if (Auth::attempt($secured, isset($_POST['remember']))) {
if (Auth::user()->user_status == 1 ) {
return Redirect::to('/');
} else {
$data['success'] = false;
}
} else {
$data['success'] = false;
}
return $data;
}
Auth::check() fails in pagecontoller even after login succeds. But if I change the code to
UserController
public function postLogin() {
$data = array();
$secured = ['user_email' => $_POST['email'], 'password' => $_POST['password']];
if (Auth::attempt($secured, isset($_POST['remember']))) {
if (Auth::user()->user_status == 1 ) {
return Return View::make(user.index);
} else {
$data['success'] = false;
}
} else {
$data['success'] = false;
}
return $data;
}
I get the index page and if I click the link of the home I get the landing page not the index page.
I guess I clarify my problem, I have gone through may solution replied earlier in same manner question nothing working.
I don't think its the server problem because another laravel application is working fine in same server.
Please help.

Your query seems to be incomplete, from what i understand you are able to get the index page after passing the authentication check only once, and that is by using this method:
public function postLogin() {
$data = array();
$secured = ['user_email' => $_POST['email'], 'password' => $_POST['password']];
if (Auth::attempt($secured, isset($_POST['remember']))) {
if (Auth::user()->user_status == 1 ) {
return Return View::make(user.index);
}
else {
$data['success'] = false;
}
}
else {
$data['success'] = false;
}
return $data;
}
try using a different browser to make sure there is no cookie storage restrictions in the client side and check the app/config/session.php file and see if you have configured the HTTPS Only Cookies according to your needs.
and just on an additional note this line "return Return View::make(user.index);" looks vague.
