Zend Routing Not Working

Question

I am trying to set up my zend route using the routes.ini and bootstrap but for some reason it is not able to route as expected. My routes.ini and bootstrap.php are as follows.

routes.ini

[production]
routes.guestbook.route = "/guestbook"
routes.guestbook.defaults.controller = guestbook
routes.guestbook.defaults.action = index

bootstrap.php

protected function _initRoutes() 
{

// Get Front Controller Instance

$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();

// Get Router
$router = $front->getRouter();

$router->addConfig(new Zend_Config_Ini(APPLICATION_PATH.'/configs/routes.ini', 'production'), 'routes');

}

I want my domain.com/guestbook to invoke my guestbook controller and index action, but currently it gives me 500 error. — javaadgrid, Oct 24 '11 at 00:25
FYI, your bootstrap file should be `Bootstrap.php` (capital "B") — Phil, Oct 24 '11 at 01:15

After I've read your comment, I can assert that you can delete those statements (config and bootstrap) because what you want to achieve is the normal behavior of the zend framework default router unless you're using modules.

Thanks to FloydThreepwood who remeber me to write this detail.

@FloydThreepwood You're right but I assumed that this is not the case. – Aurelio De Rosa Oct 24 '11 at 00:36
Maybe, just thought it would make your answer complete. – FloydThreepwood Oct 24 '11 at 00:38
I am not using modules. And can you elaborate on deleting statements config and bootstrap? Thanks for you reply – javaadgrid Oct 24 '11 at 00:43
@javaadgrid You can delete all the code part you posted here (3 lines of config.ini) and the whole method _initRoutes() – Aurelio De Rosa Oct 24 '11 at 00:44
But why I am not able to route it successfully? – javaadgrid Oct 24 '11 at 01:01
@javaadgrid I think you haven't added this new route to the Zend_Route but I'm not really sure. I like to add new routes this way: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7870405/changing-zend-framework-default-action-based-on-the-controller/7870423#7870423 – Aurelio De Rosa Oct 24 '11 at 01:05

The easiest way to configure routing is by using the Zend_Application_Resource_Router.

Configuration goes in your application.ini file and that's it, no further code required.

As it appears you're using a static route (no variable path components), try this in your application.ini file

resources.router.routes.guestbook.type = "Zend_Controller_Router_Route_Static"
resources.router.routes.guestbook.route = "guestbook"
resources.router.routes.guestbook.defaults.module = "default"
resources.router.routes.guestbook.defaults.controller = "guestbook"
resources.router.routes.guestbook.defaults.action = "index"

Remove the _initRoutes() method from your Bootstrap class.

Also, this is just an aside but when using other resources such as the front controller in a bootstrap _init* method, you must ensure they've been properly bootstrapped. To do so, retrieve them like this

protected function _initSomething()
{
    // make sure resource is bootstrapped
    $this->bootstrap('frontController');

    // retrieve resource
    $front = $this->getResource('frontController');
}
