Trying to login

Hello,

I am in the middle of modifying an ecommerce website. When trying to login instead of carrying to the admin_dashboard, it carries me to the front page.

admin/login.blade.php

<div class="container vertical-align">
      <h1 class="text-center">Gionda CMS</h1>

      @if ($errors->any())
        @include('layouts.errors')
      @endif

        <form method="POST" action="{{ url('cpages/login') }}">
          {{ csrf_field() }}

          <div class="form-group">
            <label>Email:</label>
            <input name="email" type="text" class="form-control" />
          </div>

          <div class="form-group">
            <label>Password:</label>
            <input name="password" type="password" class="form-control" />
          </div>

          <div class="form-group">
            <br />
            <input type="submit" value="Login" class="btn btn-primary pull-right" />
          </div>
        </form>
</div>

CpagesLoginController.php

public function login_view()
    {
    return view('admin.login');
    }

    public function login()
    {
    if (auth()->attempt(['email' => request('email'), 'password' => request('password'), 'role' => 0])) {
        return redirect()->route('admin_dashboard');
    } elseif (auth()->attempt(['email' => request('email'), 'password' => request('password'), 'role' => 1])) {
        return redirect()->route('admin_dashboard');
    }


    return back()->withErrors([
    'message' => 'Email or Password is incorrect or Your Account cannot access this page.'
    ]);
    }

routes/web.php

//Dashboard Login (For Admin & Staff)
Route::get('/cpages/login', 'CPagesLoginController@login_view');
Route::post('/cpages/login', 'CPagesLoginController@login');

Whenever I type: http://localhost/eliteshop/public/cpages/login it keeps carries me to http://localhost/eliteshop/public/home.

I cannot figure out why?
