Here's the routes from php artisan routes...

GET|HEAD sessions | sessions.index | SessionsController@index | | | | | GET|HEAD sessions/create | sessions.create | SessionsController@create | | | | | POST sessions | sessions.store | SessionsController@store | | | | | GET|HEAD sessions/{sessions} | sessions.show | SessionsController@show | | | | | GET|HEAD sessions/{sessions}/edit | sessions.edit | SessionsController@edit | | | | | PUT sessions/{sessions} | sessions.update | SessionsController@update | | | | | PATCH sessions/{sessions} | | SessionsController@update | | | | | DELETE sessions/{sessions} | sessions.destroy | SessionsController@destroy

So obviously it's working because you can see the routes. My guess is something is wrong in your BaseController since that's the only difference. I suggest turning on debug output so you can see what's happening. You can also do some var_dump in various places to see if you're reaching certain points in the code.
