Cakephp redirect not working on virtual host

Question

I would like to tell you about the problem I´m having now. The thing is that I moved my cakephp project from the test enviroment to the production enviroment, the production server handles some virtual servers. So, i placed my project in D:\xampp\htdocs. And added the following lines in my httpd-vhosts.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin admin@myhost.com.mx
    DocumentRoot "D:/xampp/htdocs/enterprise"
    ServerName enterprise.ent.com
    ErrorLog "logs/enterprise.ent.com.log"
    CustomLog "logs/enterprise.ent.com.log" combined
</VirtualHost>

The problem comes when I log in, everything works fine, until I make a redirect with the line:

$this->redirect("/Main");

This redirect takes me again to the log in page, so this tells me the redirect did not work. Does anybody know about this?, could you give some help?

I´m using apache 2.2 over windows server. Best regards and thanks in advance.

So its losing session when you redirects it with $this->redirect("/Main"); right ? — Er.KT, Jan 05 '16 at 04:50
Please post your CakePHP version, and your routes configuration — Inigo Flores, Jan 05 '16 at 09:05
@Er.KT It might look It does that, but the sesión is actually stored :( — Jhon Charles, Jan 06 '16 at 22:41

Check your .htaccess files (one in the webroot and one in the root). You can find a detailed explanation in the cake documentation.

I´m happy to tell you that I already solved the problem, The thing was that I had configured the session with the following:

    Configure::write('Session', array(
    'defaults' => 'php',
    'ini' => array(
        'session.cookie_path' => '/enterprise',
    ),
    'cookie' => 'enterprise',
    'cookieTimeout' => 0,   
       'checkAgent'  => false  
));

I don´t really know why, but after removing the 'ini' section It Works like a charm :O, so the code goes like follows:

    Configure::write('Session', array(
    'defaults' => 'php',
    'cookie' => 'enterprise',
    'cookieTimeout' => 0,   
       'checkAgent'  => false  
));

I hope this helps someone in the future. Thank you very much for your answers, I really appreciate your help.
