Ok so I have a very basic module setup. It’s just a test module but essentially I should get “Here we are” displayed when I go to: http://www.mysite.com/vrmlookup/lookup/form.

The thing is that it works fine on my local machine (xampp) but I get a 404 when I try it on my live sever. It all looks fine to me and I’m utterly confused!

This is my module:

app/etc/modules/BlueDeep_MamVrm.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <BlueDeep_MamVrm>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </BlueDeep_MamVrm>
    </modules>
</config>

app/code/local/BlueDeep/MamVrm/etc/config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <BlueDeep_MamVrm>
            <version>1.0.0</version>
        </BlueDeep_MamVrm>
    </modules>

    <frontend>
        <routers>
            <vrmlookup>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>BlueDeep_MamVrm</module>
                    <frontName>vrmlookup</frontName>
                </args>
            </vrmlookup>
        </routers>  
    </frontend>    
</config>

app/code/local/BlueDeep/MamVrm/controllers/lookupController.php:

class BlueDeep_MamVrm_LookupController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
    public function formAction()
    {
        die('Here we are');
    }
}

I’m pretty certain that all file permissions are correct and I have cleared all cache.

Any ideas?!
Thanks

    The problem is in your controllers filename. It should be upper cased (LookupController.php not lookupController.php). On Windows (xampp) it doesn’t matter, but on a real server (a linux/unix one) filenames are case-sensitive. Magento development should be performed on a linux system, its easier that way (you don’t have to track down strange errors – like this one). Try a virtual machine as a server, and access your file via Samba. I work that way, and it doesn’t make any problems.

    When your Magento MySQL server is running on Windows, you could suffer from very big response times (especially while reindexing). Using a virtual machine, lets you to use your favorite Windows tools and test your app in an environment close to the production one.
