Redirecting to another website using Redirect::to()
You need to provide fully qualifying URL to Redirect::to() method, otherwise application base URL is prepended.
$url = 'www.google.com';// redirects to http://localhost:8888/www.google.comreturn Redirect::to($url);$url = 'http://google.com';// redirects to http://google.comreturn Redirect::to($url);
To redirect to an external domain, use a fully qualified url such as tiqeet.com
in your controller, call a return Redirect::intended("your fully qualified domain");
hope it works for you. Used it in laravel 4.0
Route::get('/', function () { $url = 'YOUR DOMAIN NAME HERE'; //DOMAIN NAME MUST BE LIKE THIS : https://www.google.com/ return Redirect::to($url);});In I'm using Laravel 5.5 only for API's so in web route file i redirected to my domain name if any one tried to open the API domain name its redirected to my same domain
