Zend MVC - new page is not found

Question

I'm pretty new to php and Zend in general, so I'll try to be as clear as I can. I have taken over a complete web project written in PHP.

In the main layout is script partials/menu.phtml, where is a list of few pages. And I wanted to add another one (called pricelist). I created a new pricelist.phtml file in directory info/ with other pages leading from this menu (in view).

Then in InfoController I created new public function pricelistAction() which includes

$this->view->headTitle()->append('Info'); 
$this->view->headTitle()->append('Pricelist'); 

Nothing is written in model. When I run localhost and click Info - Pricelist, the page is not found. I have no clue what I might have forgotten or what is wrong. I'm stuck on this for several days and starting to be desperate. I really appreciate any help. Thank you very much!

Two things:

1. Make sure there is a proper route in your module.config file that causes this action to be triggered. /baseroute/:action or /baseroute/pricelist...something like that

2. There are several ways of loading views/templates: Some developers require you to set new view files up explicitly in the view_manage=>template_map section of your module.config file, rather than let zend handle it automatically.

It's hard to guess without seeing your code/directory structure but this is where I would start.
