Apologies if this has already been discussed in the group, but I could not find it. I have an advanced installation on Windows running wamp, which I tested first with the app folder containing webroot at the document root and the cake libraries above the document root. The initial test setup worked as expected. I then moved the app folder to the same level as the cake core libraries and left the webroot folder in the document root. This is when I began to get the missing controller error.
My installation uses the following structure. from Start>Run>notepad \wamp\www\testweb\index.php if (!defined('ROOT')) { define('ROOT', DS.'wamp'.DS.'cake'.DS.'1.3.x'); } if (!defined('APP_DIR')) { define('APP_DIR', 'test'); } if (!defined('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH')) { define('CAKE_CORE_INCLUDE_PATH', DS.'wamp'.DS.'cake'.DS.'1.3.x'); } When I load http://localhost/testweb/, I get the default home view with four green bars. I have a controller and model set up as follows. Start>Run>\wamp\cake\1.3.x\test\controllers\profiles_controller.php: <?php class ProfilesController extends AppController { var $name = 'Profiles'; var $scaffold; } ?> Start>Run>\wamp\cake\1.3.x\test\models\profile.php: <?php class Profile extends AppModel { var $name = 'Profile'; } ?> When I load http://localhost/testweb/profiles, I get the missing controller message. CakePHP: the rapid development php framework Missing Controller Error: ProfilesController could not be found. Error: Create the class ProfilesController below in file: test \controllers\profiles_controller.php <?php class ProfilesController extends AppController { var $name = 'Profiles'; } ?> Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create test\views \errors\missing_controller.ctp My take is that for some reason the core libraries are in scope but the app is not, and I really have no clue as to why. Apache returns a 200 status code on the request which suggests that the .htaccess is set up correctly. 127.0.0.1 - - [29/Aug/2010:00:36:58 -0700] "GET /testweb/profiles HTTP/ 1.1" 200 1470 My cake console works as expected, so my paths for cake and php must be good. Seems like something internal to cake. I am very discouraged to be fumbling around with this problem and would love it if someone would point out what I am missing.
