Hi @brandonortiz,
This generally indicates an issue in session management for your instance. This would often be down to one of the following:

The server does not have proper write access to the required folders as expected (in this case, the storage/ folder and everything within).
Something is affecting cookies on your instance, possibly added webserver security rules or layers?
The APP_URL in your .env file does not full align with the URL being used to access your instance in the browser.

If you need further help, confirm you've checked the above points and also confirm exactly how you installed BookStack originally.

Thanks Dan.

The issue was the browser not being redirected to https at the first page visited. I updated the apache config and it's working now.
