**illuminate \ Database \ QueryException**
SQLSTATE[42S22]: Column not found: 1054 Unknown column 'fname' in 'where clause' (SQL: select * from `users` where `fname` = sonu and `lname` = k limit 1)
please help me out with this issue.

Answer 1

It's throwing error because there is no fname column in users table. You should check your database structure, and make sure fname column exist.

Answer 2

Assuming you have a register table with all the necessary columns, you would need to tell your app to use that table for authentication. So in `app/config/auth.php', depending on which driver you're using, you'll need entries like the following:
'model' => 'register',
if you're using the 'eloquent' driver, or
'table' => 'register1'
if you're using the database driver.
Also, for what little it's worth, conventionally the class names for models are CamelCase and the table names are lowercase and plural. So, in your case, class Register .... and protected $table = registers;.
If the above doesn't get you up and running, maybe try looking through this tutorial: http://laravelbook.com/laravel-user-authentication/.
