Laravel 5.2 Modal popup for forget Password displaying 500 internal server Error while running ajax function

Question

I am trying to Check weather email exist or not to send reset password link. For that am using ajax function but its showing 500 internal server error before runing ajax. I knw 500 is for token miss match error but do i need token to check email existing or not. But I think so, with the form tag token is auto generated and then also am using {{ csrf_field() }} But it showing same error 500 Internal server. Just Help how can resolve this issue and do i need to generate token manually.

Route file:

Route::group(['middleware' => 'auth'], function()
{ 
    Route::post('password/reset','Auth\AuthController@resetPassword');
}

Controller Auth\AuthController@resetPassword:

 public function resetPassword()
  {
    $email =Input::get('forget_email');
    $user_email = DB::table('users')->where('email', $email)->whereNull('deleted_at')->first();

Screen Shot Of Error

Answer 1

I think you have to write your route outside auth group.

Route::post('password/reset','Auth\AuthController@resetPassword');

Answer 2

The issue is you are using POST request with ajax and for every post request you have to pass the csrf-token with the request like:

headers: {
    'X-CSRF-TOKEN': $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content')
},

Put this in your ajax code and everything will be fine.

Or if you want to exclude the specific URI from CSRF verification, go to project/app/Http/Middleware, there is a file VerifyCsrfToken.php in which put the routes list in:

protected $except = [
   // route list here
];

All the routes defined here excludes from csrf-token check.
