My User Controller:

public function store(){
        $rules = array(
            'username' => 'required|unique:users',
            'email' => 'required|unique:users',
            'password' => 'required|min:5'

        );
        $validator = Validator::make(Input::all(),$rules);

        if($validator->fails())
            return Redirect::to('http://localhost/laravelking/users/create')->withInput()->withErrors($validator);

        User::create(array(
            'name' => Input::get('username'),
            'email' => Input::get('email'),
            'password' => Input::get('password')
        ));

        return 'Inserted';
    }

Answer 1

In your rules, you specified username and when you create a user instance, you are providing name . Double check if you have a username column in your table.

Change this:

$rules = array(
            'username' => 'required|unique:users',
            'email' => 'required|unique:users',
            'password' => 'required|min:5'

        );

To

  $rules = array(
            'name' => 'required|unique:users',
            'email' => 'required|unique:users',
            'password' => 'required|min:5'

        );
