                   return \Response::make('',302)->header('Location','http://site2');
                    return redirect()->away("http://site2");

                    \Redirect::to('http://site2');
                    header('Location: http://site2');

but none of them working..gives no response..

Something like this :

return redirect()->away('http://site2');

Make sure you also add a return (i.e. return $this->checkSession();) in start().

  • return redirect()->away("http://site2"); working fine from routes.php but not working in controller – Lakhveer Bawa Mar 12 '16 at 08:12
  • Did you check this "Make sure you also add a return (i.e. return $this->checkSession();) in start()." – Drudge Rajen Mar 12 '16 at 08:13

    This answer appears to have been copied from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/29158074/laravel-5-redirect-to-an-external-link-outisde-of-localhost-server so the bit about `$this->checkSession` doesn't apply in your case. However, `return redirect()->away('http://site2');` or `return Redirect::away('http://site2');` should both work as long as there isn't something else returning before it. If it doesn't work, please update your question with the error / outcome received. – Joseph Mar 12 '16 at 08:26
  • actually in routes.php Route::get('320-{slug}.html',['as'=>'music.download_song_320', function($slug){ $misc = new \App\Http\Controllers\Admin\MiscController; return $convert_song = $misc->convertSong($slug,'320'); }]); i did not added return ..so it was causing problems – Lakhveer Bawa Mar 12 '16 at 08:30
