Cakephp2 Router File redirect

I want to redirect a file url of an old website www.test.de/pdf/doc.pdf to the new cake page where the pdf will be in app/webroot/files/doc.pdf. Is this possible with Cakephp? I don't have the option to do rewriting on the webspace.

Solution

  • You can use the Router to redirect:-

    Router::redirect('/pdf/doc.pdf', '/files/doc.pdf');

    You'll find further details about redirecting with the Router in the official docs.
