This solved the problem as I need to specify the redirect in the login I also tried in the beforefilter without success
public function login() { if ($this->request->is('post')) { if ($this->Auth->login()) { return $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'posts','action' => 'index')); //return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect()); } $this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid username or password, try again')); } } -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
