Zend Framework: how to add a new controller?

Question

Dear All,

I have the following problem. I am learning the Zend Framework. I have written my first simple application, and it works fine. It consists in an index page with some actions to edit a simple database.

Now, I want to add another page: similar structure, different database. I want this second page to be reachable from the first. I created the new controller, the db model and so on. Just copying and modifying the stuff for the main page.

However, when I click on the link on the main page, I get a "page not found error". Actually, I have got the same problem with the "ready-made" application given in the official quickstart zend tutorial!!! (in that case, the guestbook can't be reached).

The question is therefore: what is the way to have a web site with 2 pages, each with its own controllers and models? what files do I need to modify inside my zend application folder?

Thanks in advance!!!

Cheers, Giuseppe

Answer 1

Let's break the problem into two

1. Different page

2. Contents of the different page

The most important is the first one, therefore I will talk about this (when you solve it come back).

If the sample application does not work and yo follow the instructions, I suppose that you have not set up redirection correctly. This goes down to .htaccess file and if mod_rewrite is enabled.

Try to check the latter by a phpinfo(); in a script. Then try to see if mod_rewrite is installed, the easiest way is to search for "mod_rewrite" (Ctrl + F in most browsers)

Give feedback, you're against an easy obstacle, but don't know which one yet.
