I\'m using Laravel (v5).

Answer 1

In order not too change the code as it is, just create a middleware to detect if the request url is url('register'), then redirect to 404 or do wherever.

Answer 2

In Laravel 5.5

I was trying to accomplish the same problem in Laravel 5.5. Instead of using Auth::routes() in the web.php routes file, I only included the login/logout routes:

Route::get('login', 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm')->name('login');
Route::post('login', 'Auth\LoginController@login');
Route::post('logout', 'Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');

Answer 3

Heres my solution as of 5.4:

//Auth::routes();
// Authentication Routes...
Route::get('login', 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm')->name('login');
Route::post('login', 'Auth\LoginController@login');
Route::post('logout', 'Auth\LoginController@logout')->name('logout');

// Registration Routes...
//Route::get('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@showRegistrationForm')->name('register');
//Route::post('register', 'Auth\RegisterController@register');

// Password Reset Routes...
Route::get('password/reset', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm')->name('password.request');
Route::post('password/email', 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail')->name('password.email');
Route::get('password/reset/{token}', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm')->name('password.reset');
Route::post('password/reset', 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset');

Notice I've commented out Auth::routes() and the two registration routes.

Important: you must also make sure you remove all instances of route('register') in your app.blade layout, or Laravel will throw an error.

Answer 4

On laravel 5.6 and above you can edit in web.php file

Auth::routes(['verify' => true, 'register' => false]);

and you can make it true if you change your mind, i see it easy this way

Answer 5

This has been mentioned in earlier comments but I would like to clarify that there are multiple ways to access the auth routes in your web.php file in Laravel ^5.7. depending on your version it might look a little different but they achieve the same result.

First option

Route::auth([
  'register' => false, // Registration Routes...
  'reset' => false, // Password Reset Routes...
  'verify' => false, // Email Verification Routes...
]);

Second option

Auth::routes([
  'register' => false, // Registration Routes...
  'reset' => false, // Password Reset Routes...
  'verify' => false, // Email Verification Routes...
]);

Method 1 for version 5.3

In laravel 5.3 don't have AuthController. to disable register route you should change in constructor of RegisterController like this:

You can change form:

public function __construct()
{

    $this->middleware('guest');

}

to:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;

public function __construct()
{

    Redirect::to('/')->send();

}

Note: for use Redirect don't forget to user Redirect; So user access to https://host_name/register it's redirect to "/".

Method 2 for version 5.3

When we use php artisan make:auth it's added Auth::route(); automatically. Please Override Route in /routes/web.php. You can change it's like this: * you need to comment this line: Auth::routes();

    <?php

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This file is where you may define all of the routes that are handled
| by your application. Just tell Laravel the URIs it should respond
| to using a Closure or controller method. Build something great!
|
*/


// Auth::routes();
Route::get('/login', 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm' );
Route::post('/login', 'Auth\LoginController@login');
Route::post('/logout', 'Auth\LoginController@logout');

Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');

Thanks! I hope it's can solve your problems.
