Redirecting fails in CakePHP

public function index()
{
    $this->redirect('/');
}

I will just go insane soon... How can it not work? Please help.

EDIT: by won't work I mean it gives just blank page.

EDIT2: Redirect doesn't work in all controllers!

$this->redirect(array('url' => '/'));

OR

$this->redirect(array('controller' => 'examples', 'action' => 'add'));

I had controller's class like this:

<?
class PageController extends AppController
{

I had a new line before <?, that's why it didn't work. :)

If your index() is actually a controller action referring to '/' then you'll have an infinite redirect loop and that could be the cause of your problem.

Please add more context to your question to have a better chance in getting a correct answer.

If you are getting blank pages, could very well be your configuration, try enabling debug by editing the line

Configure::write('debug', 0) to Configure::write('debug', 2) in your core.php and see what's wrong

Try setting it absolutely

$this->redirect('http://www.example.com');
