magento 1.8.0.0: System -> Manage Currency -> Symbols: Page Not Found!

Question

I've performed a search for "magento" "currency symbol" but did not find anything related to the problem I am having. Basically, I installed the XAMPP BitNami version of Magento on Windows 7, and most things tried so far work, but when I go to

System -> Manage Currecny -> Symbols

I get the following:

Whoops, our bad...

The page you requested was not found, and we have a fine guess why.

    If you typed the URL directly, please make sure the spelling is correct.
    If you clicked on a link to get here, the link is outdated.

Any idea what is causing this?

Answer 1

The error occurs with the definition of the admin router. It appears not only to be a windows error as I am also getting this on a linux machine. Currently it looks as follows:

<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <currencysymbol>Mage_CurrencySymbol_Adminhtml</currencysymbol>
                </modules>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>
</admin>

But if you use the "before" tag and specify "Mage_Adminhtml" then it will work.

<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <currencysymbol before="Mage_Adminhtml">Mage_CurrencySymbol_Adminhtml</currencysymbol>
                </modules>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>
</admin>

You should also add the dependency to the /app/etc/modules/Mage_CurrencySymbol.xml

<config>
    <modules>
        <Mage_CurrencySymbol>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>core</codePool>
            <depends>
                <Mage_Adminhtml />
                <Mage_Widget/>
            </depends>
        </Mage_CurrencySymbol>
    </modules>
</config>

There appears to have been a bug/fix raised on github
