My site loads different pages on different Operating Systems

Question

I’m going through a very strange problem.

When using Windows (Windows 7), my page loads as expected:

@extends + index.php

Already on Linux (Ubuntu 13.10) it is redirecting me to the route /user/login for no reason:

@extends + login.php

On both systems, the folder was copied from Dropbox without the vendor and later installed via Composer install

I thought that in the filter or in the routes there could be something conflicting, but it makes no sense in one system to load normally and in the other to call for an unexpected page.

Route:

<?php

/** ------------------------------------------
 *  Route model binding
 *  ------------------------------------------
 */
Route::model('user', 'User');
Route::model('comment', 'Comment');
Route::model('post', 'Post');
Route::model('role', 'Role');

Route::resource('upload', 'UploadController');


/** ------------------------------------------
 *  Admin Routes
 *  ------------------------------------------
 */
Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'before' => 'auth'], function()
{
    Route::pattern('user', '[0-9]+');
    Route::pattern('role', '[0-9]+');

    # User Management
    Route::get('users/{user}/show', 'AdminUsersController@getShow');
    Route::get('users/{user}/edit', 'AdminUsersController@getEdit');
    Route::post('users/{user}/edit', 'AdminUsersController@postEdit');
    Route::get('users/{user}/delete', 'AdminUsersController@getDelete');
    Route::post('users/{user}/delete', 'AdminUsersController@postDelete');
    Route::controller('users', 'AdminUsersController');

    # User Role Management
    Route::get('roles/{role}/show', 'AdminRolesController@getShow');
    Route::get('roles/{role}/edit', 'AdminRolesController@getEdit');
    Route::post('roles/{role}/edit', 'AdminRolesController@postEdit');
    Route::get('roles/{role}/delete', 'AdminRolesController@getDelete');
    Route::post('roles/{role}/delete', 'AdminRolesController@postDelete');
    Route::controller('roles', 'AdminRolesController');

    # Optional
    Route::get('faq', 'AdminUsersController@getFaq');
    Route::get('profile', 'AdminUsersController@getProfile');
    Route::get('mural', 'AdminUsersController@getMural');

    # Admin Dashboard
    Route::controller('/', 'AdminDashboardController');
});

/** ------------------------------------------
 *  User Routes
 *  ------------------------------------------
 */
Route::group(['prefix' => 'user', 'before' => 'auth'], function()
{

    // User reset routes
    Route::get('reset/{token}', 'UserController@getReset')
    ->where('token', '[0-9a-z]+');
    // User password reset
    Route::post('reset/{token}', 'UserController@postReset')
    ->where('token', '[0-9a-z]+');
    //:: User Account Routes ::
    Route::post('{user}/edit', 'UserController@postEdit')
    ->where('user', '[0-9]+');

    # Admin Dashboard
    Route::controller('/', 'UserDashboardController');
});

/** ------------------------------------------
 *  Frontend Routes
 *  ------------------------------------------
 */
//:: User Account Routes ::
Route::post('user/login', 'UserController@postLogin');

# User RESTful Routes (Login, Logout, Register, etc)
Route::controller('user', 'UserController');

# Index Page - Last route, no matches
Route::get('/', ['before' => 'detectLang','uses' => 'UserController@getIndex']);
Route::post('/', ['before' => 'detectLang','uses' => 'UserController@postIndex']);

Filter:

<?php

App::before(function($request)
{
    //
});


App::after(function($request, $response)
{
    //
});

Route::filter('auth', function()
{
    if (Auth::guest()) {
        Session::put('loginRedirect', Request::url());
        return Redirect::to('/');
    }
});

Route::filter('auth.basic', function()
{
    return Auth::basic();
});

Route::filter('guest', function()
{
    if (Auth::check()) return Redirect::to('/');
});

// Check for role on all admin routes
Entrust::routeNeedsRole( 'admin*', array('admin'), Redirect::to('/') );

// Check for permissions on admin actions
Entrust::routeNeedsPermission( 'admin/blogs*', 'full', Redirect::to('/admin') );
Entrust::routeNeedsPermission( 'admin/comments*', 'full', Redirect::to('/admin') );
Entrust::routeNeedsPermission( 'admin/users*', 'full', Redirect::to('/admin') );
Entrust::routeNeedsPermission( 'admin/roles*', 'full', Redirect::to('/admin') );

Route::filter('csrf', function()
{
    if (Request::ajax()){
        if (Session::getToken() != Request::header('X-CSRF-Token')){
            throw new Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException;
        }
    }else if (Session::getToken() != Input::get('csrf_token') && Session::getToken() != Input::get('_token')){
        throw new Illuminate\Session\TokenMismatchException;
    }
});

Route::filter('detectLang',  function($route, $request, $lang = 'auto')
{

    if($lang != "auto" && in_array($lang , Config::get('app.available_language')))
    {
        Config::set('app.locale', $lang);
    }else{
        $browser_lang = !empty($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']) ? strtok(strip_tags($_SERVER['HTTP_ACCEPT_LANGUAGE']), ',') : '';
        $browser_lang = substr($browser_lang, 0,2);
        $userLang = (in_array($browser_lang, Config::get('app.available_language'))) ? $browser_lang : Config::get('app.locale');
        Config::set('app.locale', $userLang);
        App::setLocale($userLang);
    }
});

Guy by what it looks like in Ubuntu drops if guest from filter auth - try removing this check in filter auth and see what happens
