Error: The requested address ” was not found on this server
Written by: Maciej Grajcarek

Last night, during installation of the CakePHP application on clients production server, a weird problem appeared. All requests to controllers actions returned : “Error: The requested address ” was not found on this server”. At the same time, access to webroot was incessant.
If you have the same problem, try this three steps:
- make sure you have an access to the database, and there are all necessary tables,
- check if you tmp folder is writable,
- delete all cache files from the temp subfolders.
That should fix the problem.

hi, we have had to swich our svn server, now it’s under svn.devayd.com - sorry!
but it’s still available for anonymous access (with u: anon, pass: anon)

none of the three worked for me. i tried opening the debug level in core.php (set it to 2), and cakephp told me that a helper related to the page i was trying to view was missing. so i copied the missing helper file to app/views/helpers/ and problem solved.

Thanks dude!
1.5 years and it’s still getting comments.
setting debug to 2 solved it for me.
You should update the post with this rule as the 1st, people tend to forget

oh man! forgot to import my table.

Hello,
I had removed the cache, then still not resolved the same problem.
I created a same controller with different name i needed, so i copy the other controller and rename it with the new one. then same above error comes.
Resolved:
i created a new file and then save with new name controller which i want then copy the code from other clone controller then its works.
I hope its OS file node issue..
But i came late on this forum, just resolved my issue.
I shared here, so may point to this kind of issue for other new bie.. to resolve.
Thanks any way.

Wow, second time I’m searching for this error, and I end up here!
You should consider updating this page dude!
Anyway, in your controller function, set $this->autoRender = false; and see if that works. It worked for me. And don’t forget to enable the debugger. Sometimes toggling that value solves a lot of problems.

Was missing a DB table and then had to clear the cache. Worked a treat. Thanks for the resource. Saved me a LOT of frustration.

At the expense of re-iterating the same thing again. It’s the database stupid (this is a note to self). This article got me to look at my database config and I realized I had changed php.ini. BTW. I was also using modelbaker. and MAMP. Here are the things to check (and set them up to be the same. In my case the entries are: /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql and /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysql).
1. Modelbaker - settings - Build - MYSQL command and socket
2. /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/conf/php5.2/php.ini (socket line)
3. /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/conf/php5.3/php.ini (socket line)
Hope this helps someone else as well.

Hey guys,
I spent a few minutes trying to figure this out, as I was getting the same error. Turned out my database connection parameters were wrong, but I was getting no error messages to tip me off that this was the issue. The reason? I had the Cake debug level set to 0.
Here’s the lesson: if you can’t figure out what’s wrong, turn error reporting on!q

ERROR:
The helper file app/views/helpers/box.php can not be found or does not exist
SOLUTION:
the filename of the helper was missing should be written in lower case.
then it worked.
BUT: now I have another problem can’t resolve yet:
Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/www/app/app_model.php:1) [CORE/cake/libs/controller/controller.php, line 647]
