cPanel, Laravel TokenMismatchException with Cookies not being set - authentication

Question

I recently moved my laravel application to a production server rather than just developing locally. However since doing so I have been unable to login to the site as I keep running into Illuminate \ Session \ TokenMismatchException.
I never had the issue on the local server, just when I ported it over the production server.
I have looked into the tokens and they never match at all. My code is as follows:
Route::filter('csrf', function()
{
// Check ajax requests for token validity via the header.
// app.js has the code to grab form tokens and put it in
// a header, well validate it here if its a post AJAX
if (Request::ajax() && Request::getMethod() == 'POST')
{
if (Session::getToken() != Request::header('X-CSRF-Token'))
{
throw new Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException;
}
} else {
if (Request::getMethod() == 'POST' && Session::token() != Input::get('_token'))
{
throw new Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException;
}
}
});
The error occurs when I am trying to compare Session::token() to Input::get('_token)
So my question is, is there something blatantly obvious that I am missing in regards to the difference between tokens on a local server to that of a production server?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
~Additional Information~
From the other sources I've found there are similar issues where the session isn't persisting. I'm already on Laravel 4.1 so the lifetime and expire_on_close are already set to the default of 120 and false. I have also tried changing the session driver to file/database/cookie all with the same outcome.
~Another Update~
Ok, somewhere a bit closer, looking into browser resources, on my local server a cookie is set laravel_session, however on my web server this is not appearing at all. So think this is related it.

I couldn't solve this. In the end though I found that is was related to the use of cPanel, as soon as I used another hosting provider without cPanel the issue has never occured.
