PostsController::index() was not found - CakePHP

Question

I am trying to get my hands on cakephp. So I started off with the cakephp demo Blog Application. I followed the first few steps of the tutorial and when I trying to load the posts controller it says

Missing View
Error: The view for PostsController::index() was not found.

Error: Confirm you have created the file: T:\Project Folders\NetBeans\cakeBlog\app\View\Posts\index.ctp

I searched a lot about this both in stackoverflow , cakephp forum and even in googlegroups but none of the solutions seems to work from me. Most of the solutions posted are as follows:

1. Check if mod_rewrite is enabled -- Yes I have it enabled.

2. Check if you named the index.ctp as index.ctp not index.cpt , Index.ctp or any other variant. -- Yes I have placed the index as follows app/views/Posts/index.ctp (using netbeans wizard)

3. Use tags instead of php short tags-- I am using the conventional Tag

Development Environment

Web Server - WAMP I created an alias named cakeblog and pointed it to cakephp_folder/app/webroot/

cakeblog.conf

Alias /cakeblog/ "T:\Project Folders\NetBeans\cakeBlog\app\webroot/" 

<Directory "T:\Project Folders\NetBeans\cakeBlog\app\webroot/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
        Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

app/webroot/.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /cakeblog
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^ index.php [L]
</IfModule>

I also loaded the localization and the debugkit Plugin. I simply placed the exacted folders into app/plugin and added the following in bootstrap.php

bootstrap.php

CakePlugin::load('DebugKit'); //Loads a single plugin named DebugKit
CakePlugin::load('Localized');

core.php

Configure::write('debug', 1);

I am able to launch the application and I am seeing the welcome page well and fine. I have attached an snapshot of it in startup.png

Now , let me paste the code, which I simply copy pasted from the tutorial:

app/model/post.php

   <?php
    class Post extends AppModel {
        //put your code here
    }
    ?>

app/controller/PostsController.php

<?php

  class PostsController extends AppController {
    //put your code here
    public $helpers = array('Html', 'Form');

     public function index() {
        $this->set('posts', $this->Post->find('all'));
    }
     public function view($id = null) {
        if (!$id) {
            throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid post'));
        }

        $post = $this->Post->findById($id);
        if (!$post) {
            throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid post'));
        }
        $this->set('post', $post);
    }
}

?>

app/view/Pages/Posts/index.ctp

<!-- File: /app/View/Posts/index.ctp -->

<h1>Blog posts</h1>
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Id</th>
        <th>Title</th>
        <th>Created</th>
    </tr>

    <!-- Here is where we loop through our $posts array, printing out post info -->

    <?php foreach ($posts as $post): ?>
    <tr>
        <td><?php echo $post['Post']['id']; ?></td>
        <td>
            <?php echo $this->Html->link($post['Post']['title'],
array('controller' => 'posts', 'action' => 'view', $post['Post']['id'])); ?>
        </td>
        <td><?php echo $post['Post']['created']; ?></td>
    </tr>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    <?php unset($post); ?>
</table>

Answer 1

Change directories app/View/Pages/Posts/ to app/View/Posts/

Each controller has own dir with views files.
