I deployed my Laravel app to shared hosting (cpanel). For paying, the user first redirects to a bank account and then redirects to my page. during this procedure, the user gets logged out!

for protecting my routes I use auth middleware and for session driver, I use the default session driver which is file. also, the permission for framework/sessions is 777.

this is the code which redirect to the bank page:

```
            $go = "https://thebank/example";
            redirect()->to($go)->send();

```

and after a successful payment, the bank redirects to a route that I specified for verifying the payment.

```
Route::get('/payment/callBack' , 'PaymentController@VerifyData')->middleware('auth');

```

the route utilizes the auth middleware However most of the time the user is not logged in and automatically redirects to login page. I noticed if I don't use the auth middleware and if the user refreshes the page the user logs in automatically. this is not something that usually happens with laravel. I also tried the cookie driver for session and it didn't work and caused more problems.

I also didn't gain any success in storing user\_id and cart\_id in the default PHP $\_SESSION. all SESSIONS seems to be cleared when user redirects back from the bank page.

how can I fix the problem?
