Question

I have been trying to write an basic authentication system as part of a project which I am supposed to be using in order to learn about the Zend Framework. I have been using the Zend CLI tools to help create my application. I have a module called Admin, within which I have a controllers called Auth. However, when I try to navigate to the controller in a browser I get the following error:

An error occurred

Page not found

Exception information:

Message: Invalid controller specified (auth)

Stack trace:

#0 /home/www-data/zend.danielgroves.net/htdocs/library/Zend/Controller/Front.php(954): Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard->dispatch(Object(Zend_Controller_Request_Http), Object(Zend_Controller_Response_Http))

#3 /home/www-data/zend.danielgroves.net/htdocs/public/index.php(26): Zend_Application->run()
#4 {main}  
Request Parameters:

array (
  'module' => 'admin',
  'controller' => 'auth',
  'action' => 'index',
)

You can view this for yourself by heading over to zend.danielgroves.net

As far as I can tell everything is named correctly, take a look at the screenshot below to see how everything was structured by the CLI tools. This is the guide I was following in attempt to build this login system http://akrabat.com/zend-auth-tutorial/. I had just reached the part with the login screen screenshot (first image).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My application.ini file post the change suggested by @ByteNudger:

[production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0
phpSettings.display_errors = 0
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"
bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"
bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"
appnamespace = "Application"
resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers"
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 0

resources.db.adapter = "Pdo_Mysql"
resources.db.params.charset = "utf8"
resources.db.params.host = "localhost"
resources.db.params.username = ""
resources.db.params.password = ""
resources.db.params.dbname = ""

resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"

resources.modules[] = "" (section [bootstrap])

[staging : production]

[testing : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1

[development : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 1

The PHP error generated by the application.ini change:

PHP Fatal error:  Uncaught exception 'Zend_Config_Exception' with message 'syntax error, unexpected '(' in /home/www-data/zend.danielgroves.net/htdocs/application/configs/application.ini on line 20' in /home/www-data/zend.danielgroves.net/htdocs/library/Zend/Config/Ini.php:182

EDIT 2:

Ok, i’ve just tried what was suggested in the answer by Ross Smith II below. My application.ini file now reads:

[production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0
phpSettings.display_errors = 0
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"
bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"
bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"
appnamespace = "Application"
resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules/admin/controllers"

resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 0

resources.db.adapter = "Pdo_Mysql"
resources.db.params.charset = "utf8"
resources.db.params.host = "localhost"
resources.db.params.username = ""
resources.db.params.password = ""
resources.db.params.dbname = ""

resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"
resources.frontController.defaultModule = "admin"
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules/admin/layouts/scripts/"
resources.modules[] =

[staging : production]

[testing : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1

[development : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 1

And I am getting this error in browser:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Exception' with message 'Invalid controller specified (error)' in /home/www-data/zend.danielgroves.net/htdocs/library/Zend/Controller/Dispatcher/Standard.php:248 Stack trace: #0 /home/www-data/zend.danielgroves.net/htdocs/library/Zend/Controller/Front.php(954): Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard->dispatch(Object(Zend_Controller_Request_Http), Object(Zend_Controller_Response_Http)) #1 /home/www-data/zend.danielgroves.net/htdocs/library/Zend/Application/Bootstrap/Bootstrap.php(97): Zend_Controller_Front->dispatch() #2 /home/www-data/zend.danielgroves.net/htdocs/library/Zend/Application.php(366): Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap->run() #3 /home/www-data/zend.danielgroves.net/htdocs/public/index.php(26): Zend_Application->run() #4 {main} Next exception 'Zend_Controller_Exception' with message 'Invalid controller specified (error)#0 /home/www-data/zend.danielgroves.net/htdocs/library/Zend/Controller/Front.php(954): Zend_Controller_Dispatcher_Standard->dispatch(O in /home/www-data/zend.danielgroves.net/htdocs/library/Zend/Controller/Plugin/Broker.php on line 336

This was something I did some months back

You can see the whole code at https://github.com/harikt/blog

[production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0
phpSettings.display_errors = 0
includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"
bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php"
bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap"
appnamespace = "Application"
resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers"
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 0
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"
resources.modules[] = ""
autoloadernamespaces[] = "BinaryKitten"
resources.layout.layoutPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/layouts/scripts/"
resources.view[] = 

[staging : production]

[testing : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1

[development : production]
phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1
phpSettings.display_errors = 1
resources.frontController.params.displayExceptions = 1

In Bootstrap.php

<?php
class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap
{
    public function _initControllerPlugins()
    {
        $plugin = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->registerPlugin(
            new BinaryKitten_ModuleConfig()
        );
    }

    public function _initAutoload()
    {
        $moduleLoader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(
            array(
                'namespace' => '',
                'basePath'  => APPLICATION_PATH . "/modules/default"
            )
        );
        return $moduleLoader;
    }
}

Hope that helps to resolve your issue.
