Why am I getting a page not found error after creating a new menu item?

Question

In my module file I created a new menu item

function xmlproject_menu() 
{
  $items = array();

  //more items here

  $items['system/xml/cfa/initialize/%/%/%/%/%'] = array(
    'page callback' => 'xmlproject_initialize_cf',
    'page arguments' => array(4, 5, 6, 7, 8,),
    'access callback' => TRUE,
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
  );

  return $items;
}

function xmlproject_initialize_cf($session_id, $cart_id, $pid, $rid, $partner_id)
{
  //some code here
}

I have tried going to admin/build/modules, devel/menu/reset, and admin/settings/performance to clear the cache. I can see the menu item in the database (menu_router).

When I go to http://example.com/system/xml/cfa/initialize/1/2/3/4/5 I am getting "Page not found".

You code seems all dandy, but I suppose your page callback "xmlproject_initialize_cf" should actually return something.

Try this:

function xmlproject_initialize_cf($session_id, $cart_id, $pid, $rid, $partner_id)
{
  // Your Code
  return 'Hello world!';
}

Is the modules name "xmlproject"?

that is not the problem,if a callback does not return any thing, page should be blank,bu the OP getting page not found – Shirin Abdolahi Aug 26 '15 at 12:11

Does not seems anything wrong with your code. Just curious, why you have kept the last element of array as 'empty' (a comma after number 8)

'page arguments' => array(4, 5, 6, 7, 8,),

Also, there is additional empty item in the array (extra comma after MENU_CALLBACK)

'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,

As you see in your database number_part column that contains Number of parts in router path,sets to 7(maximum available part),but your parts of menu callback is 9.Which is more than MENU_MAX_PARTS available in drupal 6. this is why you're getting Page not found Just reduce your menu item size and you are good to go.for example:

$items['initialize/%/%/%/%/%'] = array(
    'page callback' => 'xmlproject_initialize_cf',
    'page arguments' => array(4, 5, 6, 7, 8),
    'access callback' => TRUE,
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
 );
