Question

I have a simple controller named AjaxController,

<?php
    class AjaxController extends Zend_Controller_Action {

    public function init() {
        $params = $this->_getAllParams();
        Zend_Debug::dump($params);
    }

    public function cartAction() {
        $params = $this->_getAllParams();
        Zend_Debug::dump($params);
    }
}

?>

And I am calling this URL – http://example.com/ajax/cart from jQuery like below:

$.post(base_path + "ajax/cart/", { },
 function(data) {
     alert("Data Loaded: " + data);
 });

I get a 404 error (Action not found) when called via jQuery/When I visit the URL directly

I get the following output alone (for the init function):

array(4) {
  ["controller"] => string(4) "ajax"
  ["action"] => string(3) "get"
  ["id"] => string(4) "cart"
  ["module"] => string(7) "default"
}

Here action is “get” and “cart” goes into ID (Just like a Zend Rest Route). Instead, the action name should be “cart”. What is wrong here?

The route works expected, if I add the following route via a ini file:

routes.about.type = "Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Static"
routes.about.route = "ajax/cart"
routes.about.defaults.controller = "ajax"
routes.about.defaults.action = "cart"

But I cannot add routes like this for all my actions in each controller.

I created a test controller to test this.

<?php

Class TestController extends Zend_Controller_Action {

    function indexAction() {
        echo "Index"; exit();
    }

    function testAction() {
        echo "Test"; exit();
    }
}
?>

Only the index action works. Test action does not work (throws EXCEPTION_NO_ACTION exception)

Zend Framework version – 1.12.0

Answering my own question (Actual answer is in the comment by Bas van Dorst)

There was a Zend_Rest_Route code in the bootstrap, which I forgot to remove from an old code.
After the removing that code, default routes started working.
