cakephp 2.0 Migration: Redirect not working

This is confusing to me. I'm manually converting my cakephp 1.3 application to 2.0 to understand it better rather. Everything seems to be working, but for some reason the $this->redirect() function isn't working. It just leaves me with a blank screen.

My code is:

class TimeslotsController extends AppController {
  var $helpers = array ('Html','Form', 'Calendar');
  var $name = 'Timeslot';
  var $uses = array('User', 'Timeslot', 'TransLog', 'Credit', 'Section', 'StudentSection', 'Assignment', 'Call') ;
  var $components = array('Calendar', 'Local', 'Email');

  function index() {
    $this->redirect('admin/user/37');
  }

 }

Am I missing something on how cake 2.0 handles redirects?

Thanks!

if there is a whitespace in AppController or in PageController , it prevents header to be set , and hence redirect doesn't work. check for white space before php code if all above syntex doesn't work

You can try two things. Either use an absolute URL, thus starting with a / like:

$this->redirect('/admin/user/37');

Or (better way) write it in full, like:

$this->redirect(array(
    'admin' => true, // Requires admin routing prefix in Config/core.php
    'controller' => 'user',
    'action' => 'index',
    37
));
