cakephp redirects incorrect path - php

Question

I have a login form (login.ctp) in my Members View. But when I give the url as /login, than instead of showing the login of Members view, its showing login page of users view.
/Views/login.ctp file
<div class="members form">
<?php echo $this->Session->flash('auth'); ?>
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Member'); ?>
<fieldset>
<legend><?php echo __('Please enter your username and password'); ?></legend>
<?php echo $this->Form->input('username');
echo $this->Form->input('password');
?>
</fieldset>
<?php echo $this->Form->end(__('Login')); ?>
</div>
App controller file
class AppController extends Controller {
//...
public $components = array(
'Session',
'Auth' => array(
'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'members', 'action' => 'home'),
'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'members', 'action' => 'index')
)
);
public function beforeFilter() {
$this->Auth->allow('index', 'view');
}
//...
}
My routes.php file
Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'members', 'action' => 'index'));
Router::connect('/login', array('controller' => 'members', 'action' => 'login'));
I have cleared all the cookies. Where is the mistake?
One more thing, I have even tried deleting user controllers, but if I delete user controllers I get the following error...
Error: UsersController could not be found.
This is my login function from MembersController.php
public function login() {
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
if ($this->Auth->login()) {
$this->redirect($this->Auth->redirect());
} else {
$this->Session->setFlash(__('Invalid username or password, try again'));
}
}
}
//code in member model.
class Member extends AppModel {
/**

public $validate = array(

Answer 1

Try modifying your components array to this:
public $components = array(
'Session',
'Auth' => array(
'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'members', 'action' => 'home'),
'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'members', 'action' => 'index'),
'Form' => array(
'userModel' => 'Member'
),
)
);
Or try this in beforeFilter():
// Pass settings in using 'all'
$this->Auth->authenticate = array(
AuthComponent::ALL => array('userModel' => 'Member'),
'Form',
'Basic'
);

EDIT
Tested Code and process
AppController Code
<?php
class AppController extends Controller
{
public $components = array
(
'Session',
'Auth' => array
(
'loginRedirect' => array('controller' => 'members', 'action' => 'home'),
'logoutRedirect' => array('controller' => 'members', 'action' => 'index')
)
);
public function beforeFilter()
{
$this->Auth->allow('index', 'view');
$this->Auth->fields = array('username' => 'email', 'password' => 'password');
$this->Auth->userModel = 'Member';
}
}
all of your code is working fine all you need to do is just set Auth->userModel to Member.
MemberController
<?php
class MembersController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Members';
function beforeFilter()
{
parent::beforeFilter();
}
}
?>
And in Member controller define beforeFilter as above.
