Redirect to home page in Controller

Question

I want to redirect my site to home page (base URL) in Controller.

$this->_redirect();

Using above mentioned function gives me the warning to specify the argument.

Warning: Missing argument 1 for Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Action::_redirect()

When I use the following as argument

$this->_redirect(Mage::getBaseUrl());

It just append the base url in my site url which results something like this

• http://example.comhttp://example.com

Which is obviously a 404 page. Please help me to figure this out.

Answer 1

I reckon you should try to the following:

$this->_redirect("/");

Answer 2

You can try below code

$url = Mage::getBaseUrl();
Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getResponse()->setRedirect($url);

Answer 3

$this->_redirectUrl('/magento');

Where "magento" is my root folder name. (For localhost/magento..)
