Subject: Help a newbie-The page isn't redirecting properly

With good intention I was helping someone with a ruby site but now I've
broken it!  Yikes.  Help please.

I made a simple change to the admin controller to add a new action -
login2.  Making this change caused another action, login, to
redirect improperly causing the "page isn't redirecting properly"
message using
Firefox.

Because my change allows me to get to login2 I updated the default page
to point to login2 hoping to find a resolve to the redirection problem.
No such luck - 2nd problem - can't change the default page for the
authorize redirection?  Looks simple!  (Aside: I spent hours trying to
find the issue with why a text change didn't display - turns out it was
caching.
ugh.)

Any help is appreciated!

Here's the controller code.

class AdminController < ApplicationController

  before_filter :authorize, :except => [:login, :login2]

  def authorize
    if !session[:user]
      redirect_to :controller => 'admin', :action => 'login2'
      return false
    end
  end

  def login
    if request.post?
      if params[:login] == 'linda' && params[:password] == 'testing'
        session[:user] = 'yes'
        redirect_to :controller => 'news', :action => 'index'
        return
      end
    end
  end

  def login2
  end

  def logout
    session[:user] = nil
    redirect_to :action => 'login2'
  end


  def index
  end

  def quotes
    @contacts = Contact.find(:all, :conditions => "quoterequest = 'Yes'
AND file is not null")
  end

  def destroycontact
    contact = Contact.find(params[:id]) rescue nil
    contact.destroy rescue true
    redirect_to :action => 'quotes'
  end

  def contactlist
    contacts = Contact.find(:all, :conditions => "quoterequest = 'No'")
    sheet =
"Name\tAddress\tCity\tState\tZip\tPhone\tEmail\tComment\tContact
Time\tMailing List\tEmail List\n"
    if contacts && !contacts.empty?
      for c in contacts
        sheet +=
"#{c.name}\t#{c.address}\t#{c.city}\t#{c.state}\t#{c.zip}\t#{c.phone}\t#{c.email}\t#{c.comment.gsub(/[\r\n]/,'
')}\t#{c.created_at}\t#{c.mailinglist}\t#{c.emaillist}\n"
      end
    end
    send_data sheet, :filename => "fsi_contact_list.xls"
  end

  def quoterequests
    contacts = Contact.find(:all, :conditions => "quoterequest = 'Yes'
AND file is null")
    sheet =
"Name\tAddress\tCity\tState\tZip\tPhone\tEmail\tComment\tContact
Time\tMailing List\tEmail List\n"
    if contacts && !contacts.empty?
      for c in contacts
        sheet +=
"#{c.name}\t#{c.address}\t#{c.city}\t#{c.state}\t#{c.zip}\t#{c.phone}\t#{c.email}\t#{c.comment.gsub(/[\r\n]/,'
')}\t#{c.created_at}\t#{c.mailinglist}\t#{c.emaillist}\n"
      end
    end
    send_data sheet, :filename => "fsi_quote_requests.xls"
  end

  def import
    file_name = upload(:file)
    imported = Import.import!(Rails.root.join('public', 'files',
file_name).to_s)
    flash[:notice_admin] = "Succesfully imported #{imported} emails"
  rescue
    flash[:notice_admin] = "Could not import specified file. Please
check if the file is correct."
  ensure
    redirect_to news_index_path
  end

  def featured_news_content
    set_config(:featured_news, params[:featured_news])
    flash[:notice_admin] = "Featured News Content Saved"
    redirect_to news_index_path
  end

  def launch_auto_email
    news = News.not_sent
    featured_info = get_config(:featured_news)

    Subscriber.all.each do |s|
      SystemMailer.deliver_latest_news(s.email, news, featured_info)
    end

#    begin
#      Twitter::Client.new.update(featured_info)
#    rescue
#    end
#
#    begin
#      FbGraph::User.me(FB_ACCESS_TOKEN).feed!(
#        :message => featured_info
#      )
#    rescue
#    end

    flash[:notice_admin] = "Auto Email Launched"
    redirect_to news_index_path
  end

  private

    def upload(opts, name = "email_database-#{Date.current.to_s}.xls")
      uploaded_io = params[opts]
      File.open(Rails.root.join('public', 'files', name), 'w') do |file|
        file.write(uploaded_io.read)
      end
      name
    end
