I've created a module, a basic copy of the the albums example given in the ZF2 documentation, however, with the new module, I am not able to access it at all - I'm always given a 404 error. I'm building this on the ZF2 skeleton.
I've got three modules loaded: Application, Frontend and Security.
Both Frontend and Security are duplicates of each other, however, I have thoroughly checked and there is no reference to old code (as I literally copied the module folder and renamed/rewrote references).
The module is also loaded in application.config.php.
Any ideas on what I'm missing?
Module Config:
return array(
'controllers' => array(
'invokables' => array(
'Security\Controller\Security' => 'Security\Controller\SecurityController',
),
),
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'security' => array(
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/security[/:action][/:id]',
'constraints' => array(
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'id' => '[0-9]+',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Security\Controller\Security',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
),
),
'view_manager' => array(
'template_path_stack' => array(
'security' => __DIR__ . '/../view',
),
),
);
I had the same problem while following the skeleton application tutorial (Getting started: A skeleton application). Whenever I would go to the album url in the browser (ZendSkeletonApplication/public/album
in my case), I would get a 404 error page but no details on why I got the 404. It wasn't clear to me how I would be able determine why I was getting the 404 when I had double checked everything and was pretty sure I copied and configured the Album module properly. It turned out that I was missing a slash in my route (module.config.php). For example I had 'route' => 'album[/:action][/:id]'
instead of 'route' => '/album[/:action][/:id]'
.
I was only able to figure it out by intentionally causing errors by misspelling things like making the 'Album\Controller\Albums'
instead of 'Album\Controller\Album'
in the invokables value, this would cause a stack trace to display which then showed the ZF2 classes that where called on the request. I would continue to misspell, test, and then correct each part of the module.config.php until I was given a clue to what part of the configuration was causing the error.
I'm pretty sure this was not the best way to debug an application's configuration.
