Cakephp url: hide controller name on main page

Question

When i open website with localhost/site_name, url immediately becomes localhost/site_name/default_controller_name.

How can i hide it, so that the url only on that main front page becomes localhost/site_name ?

EDIT this is default controller for front page

public function index() {


    $this->set('list', $this->User->Mobilenetwork->find('list', array(
            'fields' => array('id', 'network')
        )));


    if($this->Auth->user() ) 
    { 
        $this->redirect(array('controller' => 'contacts', 'action' => 'index'));
    }


   if ($this->request->is('post')) 
    {
      //saving data. this is a mess currently, i need to move majority of this code to the model
    }

What is your default controller now? Is it Pages? And did you add that action to Auth allowed actions? — skywalker

Have you adjusted your "routes.php" file to make the root url direct to "localhost/site_name/default_controller_name"? If not, go to the routes file within your Config folder and change:

Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'pages', 'action' => 'display', 'home'));

(which is the default) to this:

Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'default_controller_name', 'action' => 'index'));

*not sure what version of CakePHP you're running; the above is for 2.4 (though it may be applicable for earlier versions as well).

hm i tried that one ( Router::connect('/', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'index')); ) but the outcome is: This webpage has a redirect loop

in my users controller i have: if($this->Auth->user() ) { redirect.. } and if ($this->request->is('post')) { ... }

Do you mean that when you go to "root/mysite" in automatically changes the url to "root/mysite/users"? Also, what version of CakePHP are you on?

@jackel414 yes, www.site.com becomes www.site.com/users
