[FIXED] redirectint to localhost:8080 on codeigniter 4

Issue

I'm trying to make a logout function on codeigniter 4, and I'm realizing there is different things from v3

public function logout(){
        session_start();
        session_destroy();
        
        return redirect()->to("/");
    }

this is not redirecting me to my virtualhost / route its redirecting to localhost:8080/

Solution

That's because you need to set your base url in /Config/App.php

/* public $baseURL = 'http://localhost:8080/'; // <-- what is there now */
public $baseURL = 'https://www.mywebsite.com/'; // <-- change to your url

Then you can reference it

return redirect()->to(site_url()); // or
return redirect()->to("/");
