I am getting a 404 for controller not found and I am having difficulty debugging it.
Where would I debug in Zend zf2 to see what controller it is actually looking for?
The error is:
A 404 error occurred
Page not found.
The requested controller could not be mapped to an existing controller class.
Controller:
not-found(resolves to invalid controller class or alias: not-found)
No Exception available
So my question is not for you to find my problem but to help m3 find where in ZEND I can put breakpoints - help me learn to debug what ZEND is doing.
Between the service manager and listeners and autoloaders, and factories etc... I find ZEND so complex that I can't figure out where to put a breakpoint and see what is happening - in this case what controller is it trying to open.
"Teach a man to fish, rather than feed the man fish".
Thanks
For that problem i don't think you can use breakpoint. Because it gives error before action starts, it couldn't found the controller.
My solution for that when i face with that problem.
Check controller file if it has the correct name in both file and class definition and namespace.
Check module.config file for routing and controller definition.
If you are not using autoloader, check classmap file.
In one of your routes you are using a controller which is not defined under the 'controllers' key in your module.config.php
For example in this route there is a controller 'Application\Controller\Index':
'routes' => array(
'home' => array(
'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Literal',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/',
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Application\Controller\Index',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
And you have to create a controller entry:
'controllers' => array(
'invokables' => array(
'Application\Controller\Index' => 'Application\Controller\IndexController'
),
),

i thought i had the routing under control until i found out that i have now clue of how to have the default action url change, that means:
when ever a user enters a url, for example:
http://www.mysite.com/form/myform
the routing will always redirect him to the default action "show" (one of many actions this controller has):
http://www.mysite.com/form/myform/show
but my url remains the same (with the "show" action):
http://www.mysite.com/form/myform
what am i missing here?
'routes' => array(
'form' => array(
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/form[/:form[/:action]]',
'constraints' => array(
'form' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Form\Controller\Form',
'action' => 'show',
),
),
),
),
thanks!
edited note:
i have noticed (thanks to #codeHeart marks) that i had some mistakes/misclarification trying to explain the problem, so i edited the main question examples.
thanks again all!
Looking at this in your question/
http://www.mysite.com/controller
and your router configuration I expect that should be throwing a 404 error, as there is no matching route in your config that matches /controller(If there are more routes other than the one that you show in you question, let us know or maybe you mistyped this url).
Apart from above,
your route tells to do the following:-
if url is
http://yoursite/form OR
http://yoursite/form/controller
go to the controller action that you have mentioned in the defaults, as the route was matched to the url but didn't get matched completely to an action so going to the default.
A non existing controller or a non existing action should be throwing 404. e.g
http://yoursite/form/controller/non-existing-action
Even this url
http://yoursite/form/
won't get matched according to your route and will be throwing a 404.
And for your question if you want to change the default action to something other then the "show" action, simply change the action parameter/key in defaults
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Form\Controller\Form',
'action' => 'some-other-action',
),
Hope this helps and sorry if I was of no help.
Maybe I am overcomplicating this, but the documentation isn't very clear to me. I am using Zend Framework 2 to serve some dynamic content, but I also have a few routes that are purely static HTML pages. Those static pages are all children of a parent route. For example:
/foo/bar
/foo/baz
/foo/cat
How can I just simply serve up these static pages if I already have a "FooController" I should add that /foo doesn't have a view itself, but all of the foo children do.
The easiest would be to set up your route like this:
'foopage' => array(
'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/foo/:action',
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'My\Controller\Foo',
'action' => 'index'
),
'constraints' => array(
'action' => '[a-zA-Z]+'
)
),
)
Then inside your FooController simply create a couple of empty actions like indexAction, fooAction, barAction, bazAction and create the respective templates.
An alternative would be to use the Module of Matthew called PhlySimplePage
I'm trying to make a website using the Zend Framework 2, but I have a simple problem driving me crazy.
I'd like to make a simple about-us.html page with static content because there is no need to do anything else than display html.
There is no need to create a Controller / model etc...
Maybe you have to question why you're using ZF in the first place. If you just want to create a static internet page, do that without a PHP framework!
If you didn't ask your question well and you're actually just adding a static page to an existing ZF application, why not just using the existing IndexController, add an empty action and add your static content to the corresponding .phtml?
Alternatively you can look at PhlySimplePage, a ZF2 module for the purpose of adding simple static pages to a ZF app. It's written by Matthew Weier O'Phinney, the lead dev of ZF.
As the readme says, this module eliminates the need to create a controller and an action. So all you need to do is create a route and a view script.
I know this question might be old, but I was in trouble with that as well.
Here is what I did to create a generic router for my application, so I could just add as many actions as I need and have then created as phtml files in my view
on module.config.php
'application' => array(
'type' => 'Segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/[:action][/]',
'constraints' => array(
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Application\Controller\Index',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
So basically what it does is gets any action you might have in your application and use as a page... like any other controller
Instead of http://yoursite.com/application/test
you can do now http://yoursite.com/test
if you have your testAction set in your indexController file.
Hope I had helped future people looking for this information.
You have to create controller and view file.
suppose there is a about us menu with link
<a href="<?php $this->url('aboutus'array('action'=>'aboutus'));?>">
About Us
</a>
Just go to aboutus view file and write static html code.
Thanks

I've created a module, a basic copy of the the albums example given in the ZF2 documentation, however, with the new module, I am not able to access it at all - I'm always given a 404 error. I'm building this on the ZF2 skeleton.
I've got three modules loaded: Application, Frontend and Security.
Both Frontend and Security are duplicates of each other, however, I have thoroughly checked and there is no reference to old code (as I literally copied the module folder and renamed/rewrote references).
The module is also loaded in application.config.php.
Any ideas on what I'm missing?
Module Config:
return array(
'controllers' => array(
'invokables' => array(
'Security\Controller\Security' => 'Security\Controller\SecurityController',
),
),
'router' => array(
'routes' => array(
'security' => array(
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/security[/:action][/:id]',
'constraints' => array(
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'id' => '[0-9]+',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'Security\Controller\Security',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
),
),
'view_manager' => array(
'template_path_stack' => array(
'security' => __DIR__ . '/../view',
),
),
);
I had the same problem while following the skeleton application tutorial (Getting started: A skeleton application). Whenever I would go to the album url in the browser (ZendSkeletonApplication/public/album in my case), I would get a 404 error page but no details on why I got the 404. It wasn't clear to me how I would be able determine why I was getting the 404 when I had double checked everything and was pretty sure I copied and configured the Album module properly. It turned out that I was missing a slash in my route (module.config.php). For example I had 'route' => 'album[/:action][/:id]' instead of 'route' => '/album[/:action][/:id]'.
I was only able to figure it out by intentionally causing errors by misspelling things like making the 'Album\Controller\Albums' instead of 'Album\Controller\Album'in the invokables value, this would cause a stack trace to display which then showed the ZF2 classes that where called on the request. I would continue to misspell, test, and then correct each part of the module.config.php until I was given a clue to what part of the configuration was causing the error.
I'm pretty sure this was not the best way to debug an application's configuration.
There is few things that need to be make sure is:-
You have to add your module in
application.config.php (which you are saying you done it.)
Security\Controller\Security has to be same in default too (which you already has)
One more thing is Your folder structure....
-
Just to doulbe check you have a /MODULE/src/MODULE/Controller/CONTROLLER_FILE_NAME.php
I hope that helps..
I know it is an old post. However another thing to make sure you have in the modules top directory (same directory as the Module.php file) is the "autoload_classmap.php"
file with "<?php return array();?>" inside of it.
A simple tip to know whether your rule has already added correctly to the routes or not, you may check the routes value in the config file inside any working module, as following:
$config = $this->serviceLocator->get('config');
var_dump($config);
I have a controller that can be invoked as modulename/xmlcoverage with index action and some other actions, let say testAction().
The url to this controller is xml/coverage.
The default way is then that xml/coverage maps to my index action. And that xml/coverage/test maps to testAction. If I need an id for testAction, the url would be like xml/coverage/test/33 for instance.
However, for index action, it would need to be xml/coverage/index/33
Where I would like it to be xml/coverage/33.
This is my route
'xmlcoverage' => array(
'type' => 'segment',
'options' => array(
'route' => '/xml/coverage[/:action][/:id]',
'constraints' => array(
'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
'id' => '[0-9]+',
),
'defaults' => array(
'controller' => 'modulename/xmlcoverage',
'action' => 'index',
),
),
),
When trying the url xml/coverage/33, I believe 33 should map to id, as it doesn't match the regex of action and both are optional. And since it doesn't match an action, the default (index) should be used.
Instead I get an error saying that the url cannot be matched by routing.
So for me, it acts as if the route was '/xml/coverage[/:action[/:id]]' because I for some reason have to specify action for it to recognize the id.
What am I doing wrong, and how can I get the urls to work as I'd like?
Thanks.
EDIT: Here is a problem.
Doing this in my view:
$this->url('xmlcoverage', array('action' => 'index', 'id' => $someid))
actually gives an URL on the form xml/coverage/1 which will crash!
Changing the route to /xml/coverage[/:action[/:id]] will at least make the url helper produce working urls..
After talking and debugging with the nice ZF2 folks on IRC, we tracked down a bug in the routing.
During the discussion I made a small example to my issue, which is here.
As you can see from the var dump here, the action gets lost in the second case where it should default to "index".
But if anyone needs this functionality to work right now, here are ways that fix it:
Instead of having the route to be /test[/:action][/:id] have it to be /test[/:action[/:id]], then the url helper will add /index/ and at least it works.
Make a new route where you only listen for /test[/:id] in addition to the other one.
In your controller, do public function notFoundAction() { $view = new ViewModel($this->indexAction()); //etc} Kinda hacky, but with this bug it will dispatch a not found action, which you can piggyback.
