Laravel 5.2 login doesn't work, no redirect and no errors

Question

my Laravel login worked last week and now it doesn't (using the standard login generated by Laravel). I don't get an error message (wrong password, exceptions, anything). Every time I press "Login" it reloads the page. I have set the redirect to /member. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Here are some files:

routes.php:

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Application Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register all of the routes for an application.
| It's a breeze. Simply tell Laravel the URIs it should respond to
| and give it the controller to call when that URI is requested.
|
*/

if(env("APP_ENV") == "prod"){
    Route::get('/', function() {
        return view("pages.demo");
    });
} else {

    Route::get('/', 'PagesController@index');

    Route::group(['middleware' => ['loggedin']], function(){
        Route::get('member/', function(){
            return redirect('member/dashboard');
        });
        Route::get('member/dashboard', 'PagesController@dashboard');
        Route::get('member/tree', 'TreeController@displayTree');
        Route::get('member/statistics', 'PagesController@statistics');
        Route::get('member/link', 'PagesController@link');
        Route::get('member/advertising-tools', 'PagesController@advertising');
    });

    Route::get('/click/{idhash}', 'ClickController@clickHandler');



    //Route::get('/login', 'PagesController@login');
    //Route::get('/register', 'PagesController@register');
    Route::auth();
}

Answer 1

I found out the answer by combining some of your answers and comments!

I added use Illuminate\Http\Request; to the AuthController

I also renamed "password" to "user_password" in the EloquentUserProvider

And I edited the routes: Route::get('/login', 'PagesController@login'); Route::post('/login', 'Auth\AuthController@postLogin');
