CakePHP: Error: The view for TasksController::index() was not found - php

Question

I use CakePHP 2.5.5 . My project in this directory: C:\xampp\htdocs\vy\cakephp-2.5.5 . My project directory layout:
I have been created file C:\xampp\htdocs\vy\cakephp-2.5.5\app\Model\task.php (Model)with content:
<?php
class Task extends AppModel
{
var $name = 'Task';
}
?>
I have been created file C:\xampp\htdocs\vy\cakephp-2.5.5\app\Controller\TasksController.php (Controller) with content:
<?php
class TasksController extends AppController
{
var $name = 'Tasks';
function index()
{
$this->set('tasks', $this->Task->find('all'));
}
}
?>
I have been created file C:\xampp\htdocs\vy\cakephp-2.5.5\app\View\Task\index.ctp (View) with content:
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<?php if (empty($tasks)): ?>
There are no tasks in this list
<?php else : ?>
<table>
<tr>
<th>Title</th>
<th>Status</th>
<th>Created</th>
<th>Modified</th>
<th>Actions</th>
</tr>
<?php foreach ($tasks as $task): ?>
<tr>
<td>
<?php echo $task['Task']['title'] ?>
</td>
<td>
<?php
if ($task['Task']['done']) echo "Done";
else echo "Pending";
?>
</td>
<td>
<?php echo $task['Task']['created'] ?>
</td>
<td>
<?php if ($task['Task']['modified']) ?>
</td>
<td>
<!-- actions on tasks will be added later -->
</td>
</tr>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</table>
<?php endif; ?>
When run program, error:
Missing View
Error: The view for TasksController::index() was not found.
Error: Confirm you have created the file: C:\xampp\htdocs\vy\cakephp-2.5.5\app\View\Tasks\index.ctp
Notice: If you want to customize this error message, create app\View\Errors\missing_view.ctp
How to repair above application? Thank you!

Answer 1

All you have to do is read the error message carefully :)
The view folder should be View\Tasks (plural) instead of View\Task as you currently have.
Also your model file name should be Task.php not task.php. Be carefully of case sensitivity in file names. While things will work on windows if you move files to a linux server you will get errors as it has case sensitive filesystem.
