    <p>I am trying to implement the ACL tutorial found here: <a href="http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/blog-auth-example/auth.html" rel="nofollow">http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/tutorials-and-examples/blog-auth-example/auth.html</a></p> <p>I followed all the instructions, however when I try to go to <strong>[my_site]/users/add</strong> ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error.</p> <p>I found this on the Cakephp website:</p> <blockquote> <p>This happens when for example we have an element that receives data from a method of a controller, and the implementation of this method requires conducting the login would create an infinite loop that eventually will cause the browser to decline redirects</p> </blockquote> <p>And they suggest this as the fix:</p> <pre><code>function beforeFilter () { $ this -&gt; Auth -&gt; allow ( 'CONTROLLER_NAME' ); } </code></pre> <p>Which doesn't seem to work.</p> <p>If I change the AppController from this:</p> <pre><code>public function beforeFilter() { $this-&gt;Auth-&gt;allow('index', 'view', 'login', 'add'); } </code></pre> <p>to:</p> <pre><code>public function beforeFilter() { $this-&gt;Auth-&gt;allow('*'); } </code></pre> <p>I dont get the error anymore but get redirected to <strong>[my_site]/users/login</strong></p> <p>Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong that I can't view the User-Add page? TIA!</p> <p>UserController:</p> <pre><code>public function beforeFilter() { parent::beforeFilter(); $this-&gt;Auth-&gt;allow('add'); } </code></pre> <p>Login function (UsersController):</p> <pre><code>Public function login() { if ($this-&gt;request-&gt;is('post')) { if ($this-&gt;Auth-&gt;login()) { $this-&gt;redirect($this-&gt;Auth-&gt;redirect()); } else { $this-&gt;Session-&gt;setFlash(__('Invalid username or password, try again')); } } } </code></pre> <p>Auth Component Loader:</p> <pre><code>public $components = array( 'Session', 'RequestHandler', 'Auth' =&gt; array( 'loginRedirect' =&gt; array('controller' =&gt; 'projects', 'action' =&gt; 'index'), 'logoutRedirect' =&gt; array('controller' =&gt; 'pages', 'action' =&gt; 'display', 'home') ) ); </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
