I am following the following tutorial
http://tutsnare.com/social-authentication-in-laravel-5/
I have followed the steps exactly as said, but when I try to dump my user object which I retrieved using the following code:
$user = Socialize::with('github')->user();
dd($user);
This is not giving any output. However
$user = Socialize::with('github');
dd($user);
Does return the following object:
GithubProvider {#194 ▼
#scopes: array:1 [▶]
#request: Request {#37 ▶}
#clientId: "a client id here"
#clientSecret: "a client secret here"
#scopeSeparator: ","
#encodingType: 1
#stateless: false
+"redirectUrl": "My redirect URL
}
When I set up my server, the machine generated an SE Linux Error, saying that httpd service tried to save in logs of laravel.
I noticed this error later and stackoverflowed the error, finding the following solution.
SELinux prevented httpd(usr/sbin/httpd) write access to /var/www/html/bookings/templates_c
Did as said in the question and voila! Done!
