Custom frontend controller returns 404

Question

I disabled Magento cache before I began to work on this.

I can see my module is visible in "System/Configuration/Advance/Disable Modules Output" listing.

But if I call this module as http://localhost/mag/index.php/mymodule/index I get 404 Not Found error.

Can you please point out where I'm doing wrong here? I need to understand why.

Thanks in advance

Here are my codes

app/code/local/Mycompany/mymodule/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Mycompany_Mymodule>
            <version>0.1.0</version>            
        </Mycompany_Mymodule>
    </modules>
    <frontend>
        <routers>
            <mymodule>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Mycompnay_Mymodule</module>
                    <frontName>mymodule</frontName>
                </args>
            </mymodule>
        </routers>
    </frontend>
</config>

app/etc/modules/Mycompany_Mymodule.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Mycompany_Mymodule>
            <active>true</active>
            <codepool>local</codepool>
        </Mycompany_Mymodule>
    </modules>
</config>

app/code/local/Mycompany/Mymodule/controllers/IndexController.php

class Mycompany_Mymodule_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        echo 'hello World!';
    }   
}

Answer 1

You have a typo mistake in app/code/local/Mycompany/mymodule/etc/config.xml You have used Mycompnay_Mymodule inplace of Mycompany_Mymodule at line

<module>Mycompnay_Mymodule</module>

There is one more change you need to do to make it work. Open your app/etc/modules/Mycompany_Mymodule.xml change

<codepool>local</codepool>

To

<codePool>local</codePool>

With a capital P

It should work for you.

Problem with your router name <mymoduleroutename> It's should be <mymodule>

Update this below code in your file path:-

app/code/local/Mycompany/Mymodule/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Mycompany_Mymodule>
            <version>0.1.0</version>            
        </Mycompany_Mymodule>
    </modules>
    <frontend>
        <routers>
            <mymodule>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Mycompnay_Mymodule</module>
                    <frontName>mymodule</frontName>
                </args>
            </mymodule>
        </routers>
    </frontend>
</config>

I Hope It's helpful for you.
