Controller doesn't work

Question

Modifying an existing, functioning module, so assume the prerequisite setup code is fine. Adding to /app/code/local/Company/MyModule/etc/config.xml within <frontend/>:

        <routers>
            <mymodule>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Company_MyModule</module>
                    <frontName>mymodule</frontName>
                </args>
            </mymodule>
       </routers>

Created /app/code/local/Company/MyModule/controllers/IndexControlller.php:

<?php
    class Company_MyModule_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action {
        public function IndexAction() {
            die('hello, world');
        }
    }

Going to the expected address (www.company.com/mymodule) returns a 404 response.

Is there something in particular you're looking for in it? There's no duplicate <frontend/> and the rest of the module works as expected. I just can't get the controller to work. In fact, I've never been able to get any controllers to work that I've made. — Dissident Rage

Try create a module with only 'Need Frontend Page' at silksoftware.com/magento-module-creator/#.VDLbDNPF-QM ... if this don't then you may have a module that preventing it — MagePal Extensions

The problem was that the store code was not present in the URL. It was also set to "Yes" under System > Configuration > Web > Url Options > Add Store Code to Urls.

Enable your Module app\etc\modules\Company_MyModule.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <Company_MyModule>
      <active>true</active>
      <codePool>local</codePool>
      <version>0.1.0</version>
    </Company_MyModule>
  </modules>
</config>

app\code\local\Company\MyModule\etc\config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <Company_MyModule>
      <version>0.1.0</version>
    </Company_MyModule>
  </modules>
  <frontend>
    <routers>
      <mymodule>
        <use>standard</use>
          <args>
            <module>Company_MyModule</module>
            <frontName>mymodule</frontName>
          </args>
      </mymodule>
    </routers>
        <layout>
          <updates>
            <mymodule>
              <file>mymodule.xml</file>
            </mymodule>
          </updates>
        </layout>
  </frontend>
  <global>
    <helpers>
      <mymodule>
        <class>Company_MyModule_Helper</class>
      </mymodule>
    </helpers>
    <blocks>
      <mymodule>
        <class>Company_MyModule_Block</class>
      </mymodule>
    </blocks>
  </global>
</config>

app\code\local\Company\MyModule\controllers\IndexController.php

<?php
class Company_MyModule_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action{
    public function IndexAction() {      
      $this->loadLayout();    
      $this->renderLayout();      
    }
}

app\code\local\Company\MyModule\Helper\Data.php

<?php
class Company_MyModule_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
}

You can define layout Block in app\design\frontend\base\default\layout\mymodule.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>   
<layout version="0.1.0">   
  <mymodule_index_index>   
    <reference name="root">   
      <action method="setTemplate"><template>page/1column.phtml</template></action>   
    </reference>   
    <reference name="content">   

    </reference>   
  </mymodule_index_index>   
</layout>

The module already has prerequisite information (i.e. Company_MyModule.xml), as well as configured Models and a Helper at Helper\Data.php. The controller does not need to perform any layout duties whatsoever; its only purpose will be to serve text data as a response to an AJAX script. — Dissident Rage

Checkout these things.

I can see an error in your index action. It should be index, instead of Index. ie
```
public function indexAction() 
{
    die ('hello, world');
}
```
Make sure your module is active. For this go to
```
System  >  Configuration  >  Advanced
```

and check whether module is available over there.

Check all of your file permissions. Make it has 777 permission
Try out www.domain.com/index.php/mydomain

Edit

I can see another error in your controller file. The class name should be Company_MyModule_IndexController instead of Company_MyModule_indexController.
If none of the above method exists, then checkout log files. You may see some errors there. If exists, please put add it with your question

1. I thought so. The generated code from a comments suggested it be capitalized, so I tried that. Will revert to indexAction. 2. It's active. 3. Testing on a local install on Windows. I totally have permission. 4. Tried that method and several others.

Caching is disabled. Fixed capitalization; no dice. There are also no errors being logged.

Check "allow symlink" in database
Check if you have store in your url
Check module config and folder - local or community
Check spelling, folder structure, folder and file names, camelcase and underscores
Check if folder/files are accessible (exists and has right permissions) for webserver
