cakephp routing problem, plugin routing works but not others

Question

I'm having a strange routing problem with a site I just uploaded, and I've made a number of changes to test what's happening. It doesn't make any sense.

My setup is:

• I'm using one plugin, which I've included all the routing in the routes.php file.

• I've also included the routes for two other controllers, 'events' and 'updates'

they look like this:

Router::connect('/login', array('plugin' => 'pippoacl', 'controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'login'));

Router::connect('/logout', array('plugin' => 'pippoacl', 'controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'logout'));

Router::connect( '/events/', array( 'controller' => 'events', 'action' => 'index'));

Router::connect('/updates', array('controller' => 'updates', 'action' => 'index'));

What happens when I try to get to 'events' is that I get an error message saying:

"Not Found Error: The requested address '/Events' was not found on this server."

I've checked the database and it's accessible, through the plugin's model/controller/view.

I've also made sure the model/controllers for 'events' and 'updates' are there.

Can anyone tell me how to trouble shoot this?

Thanks, Paul

Answer 1

Do you open /events or /Events? URL-s - except the domain part - are case sensitive.

Answer 2

Thanks Sibidiba,

As it turns out this happened because there was a user model and user controller in the application folder as well as the plugins controller. So the routing treated other controllers as if they weren't there.

All fixed now.
