I followed the instructions here: http://book.cakephp.org/view/1543/Simple-Acl-controlled-Application to learn how to setup ACL and Auth. My two test attempts went smoothly and worked as expected. However, now that I am trying it for real its failing. I get stuck in this redirect loop and I dont understand why. No matter what valid URL I enter, I get a redirect loop.
This is the beforeFilter in my AppController: function beforeFilter() { parent::beforeFilter(); //$this->Auth->allow(array('*')); //Configure AuthComponent $this->Auth->authorize = 'actions'; /* * If the user did not select a controller/action before logging in, then * this controller/action willbe executed. */ $this->Auth->loginAction = array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'); /* * Send the user here after logging out */ $this->Auth->logoutRedirect = array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'); /* * Send the user here after logging in. */ $this->Auth->loginRedirect = array('controller' => 'main', 'action' => 'index'); } Here are the login() and logout() methods for my users_controller function login() { if ($this->Session->read('Auth.User')) { $this->Session->setFlash('You are logged in!'); $this->redirect($this->Auth->loginRedirect, null, false); } } function logout() { exit('WTF'); $this->Session->setFlash('Good-Bye'); $this->redirect($this->Auth->logout()); } I expect if I enter: http://swright-dev.epic-cake/users/logout I would see "WTF" on the screen. I get redirected. This is what I see repeated in my Apache access_log: 172.27.3.23 - - [06/Dec/2011:11:12:58 -0500] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 302 1 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:5.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/5.0" Nothing is generated in the Apache error_log, or Cake's error and debug logs. The only way the redirect loop stops is if I uncomment this line in the beforeFilter: //$this->Auth->allow(array('*')); But then no Auth works obviously. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
