Unable to resolve the request in Yii using modules - php

Question

This is my controller
class CarsController extends Controller {
public function actionIndex() {
echo 1; exit();
}
}
this is the module file:
<?php
class CarsModule extends CWebModule {
public $defaultController = "cars";
public function init() {
// this method is called when the module is being created
// you may place code here to customize the module or the application
// import the module-level models and components
$this->setImport(array(
'cars.models.*',
'cars.components.*',
));
}
public function beforeControllerAction($controller, $action) {
if (parent::beforeControllerAction($controller, $action)) {
// this method is called before any module controller action is performed
// you may place customized code here
return true;
}
else
return false;
}
}
my problem is if I access my project like: localhost/cars it works. If I access localhost/cars/index I am getting this message: Unable to resolve the request . If I create a new function and I access like this: localhost/cars/myfunction, still the same. I am working on Windows. Can someone help me with this ?

Typically the default url rule for modules is module/controller/actin, so for access actionIndex inside CarsController inside CarsModule, your url should be localhost/cars/cars/index, not localhost/cars/index. If you don't like the url be like localhost/cars/cars/index, you can write one url manager rule to map localhost/cars/cars/index into localhost/cars/index. Something like this:
'cars/index' => 'cars/cars/index'
