Question

A strange one to be honest. I have got this working completely fine on my local machine but on the production server (CENTOS), the redirect after registering is hitting the email template..

Is there something I am missing here?

  function register() {
        $this->layout = 'login';
        $this->set('title_for_layout', 'Register');
        if(!empty($this->data)) {
                  $this->User->create();
                     if($this->User->save($this->data)) {
                        $this->data['User']['group_id'] = 4;
                        $this->_sendNewUserMail( $this->User->id );
                        $this->redirect(array('action' => 'approval'));
                    } else {
                $this->Session->setFlash(__('There were errors found in your registration.  Please check the highlighted fields', true));
                }
        }               
    }

    function _sendNewUserMail($id) {
        $this->Email->smtpOptions = array(
                            'port'=>'25', 
                            'timeout'=>'30',
                            'host' => 'localhost',
                            'username'=>'username',
                            'password'=>'password',
        );
        $this->Email->delivery = 'smtp';
        $User = $this->User->read(null,$id);
        $this->Email->to = array('[e-mail]');
        $this->Email->subject = 'A new registration has been submitted';
        $this->Email->from = '[e-mail]';
        $this->Email->template = 'default';
        $this->Email->sendAs = 'html';
        $this->set('User', $User);
        $this->Email->send();
    }

I am completely stumped with this..

Many thanks for your help in advance!

I would guess php_openssl is not enabled. Also, you should move the smtpOptions and delivery setting into _sendNewUserMail
