Laravel csrf token mismatch for ajax post request

It usually happens when the tokens don't match in both sessions and are sent and received in requests.
A CSRF token keeps Laravel safe from attacks that try to get it to make requests from other websites.

Common Reasons for CSRF Token Mismatch 

Here are the most common reasons why developers run into this error:

  • The request did not include a token.
  • The session has ended.
  • The cookie domain or path doesn't match.
  • The token is not being sent with the AJAX request.
  • Old pages are stored in the browser's cache.
  • Settings for the session driver are wrong
  • Problems with HTTPS cookies
  • Incorrect setup of middleware
  • Problems with permissions in Laravel storage folders

CURL error 6: getaddrinfo() thread failed to start

When you see the error message "cURL error 6: getaddrinfo() thread failed to start" in a PHP Laravel context, it usually means that there is a problem with DNS resolution or network connectivity when you try to use cURL to make an HTTP request. There are many things that could be wrong with your server's configuration, DNS settings, or even the external service you're trying to reach that could cause this error.

Here are some things you can do to try to fix this problem:

Check to see if your network is working:
Make sure your server can connect to the internet and the outside world. You can check this by pinging servers outside your network or by using command-line tools like curl or wget from the server itself.
    Setting up DNS:
    Check to make sure that the DNS settings on your server are correct. You can check this by using tools like nslookup or dig to see if the server can resolve domain names. You may need to set up your server to use a reliable DNS service like Google DNS (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1) if there are problems.

  1. Setting up cURL:

  2. Make sure that cURL is set up correctly if you're using it in PHP. You can use a simple PHP script to test cURL on its own to see if the problem is only with your Laravel app or if it is a bigger problem with cURL on your server.


  3. The PHP and Laravel environment:

Laravel Class Imagick not found

If you see the error "Class 'Imagick' not found" in Laravel, it usually means that your server does not have the Imagick PHP extension installed or turned on. ImageMagick is a library for manipulating images that gives you advanced tools for working with images. This is how you can fix this problem:

Why Does Laravel Give the Error "Class 'Imagick' Not Found"?

This error happens when the Imagick extension is either

  • Not installed on the server yet.
  • Installed but not turned on in php.ini.
  • Installed for a version of PHP that is not the one that Laravel is using.
  • Installed wrong on Windows (wrong DLL file).
  • Not loaded because of a misconfiguration after upgrading PHP or the server.
