Struggling in zend acl system - zend-framework

Question

I am new to zend framework and trying to implement zend_acl.I created a custom plugin and placed it in
zend/library/My/Controller/Plugin
zend/library/My/Controller/Helper
where myzend is directory of my project.I am trying to initialize this custom plugin from
bootstrap using
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$frontController->setControllerDirectory('/path/to/controllers')
->setRouter(new Zend_Controller_Router_Rewrite())
->registerPlugin(new My_Controller_Plugin_Acl());
But i am receiving this error message
Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend_Controller_Action_Exception' with message 'Action index" does not exist and was not trapped in __call()' in C:\xampp\htdocs\zend\library\Zend\Controller\Action.php:485

Please guide me. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

In your redirection in your preDispatch() method, try this :
$request->setActionName('error');
Instead of:
$request->setActionName('index');
If you want make an error try this:
throw new Zend_Acl_Exception("Not allowed");
instead of
$request->setControllerName('Error');
$request->setActionName('index');

Answer 2

Put your Plugin in library/Controller/Plugin/Acl.php and then add this in your application (Bootstrap suggested).
//register your folder with aoutloader
$autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
$autoloader->registerNamespace('My_');
//register your plugin
$frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$frontController->registerPlugin(new My_Controller_Plugin_Acl());
Your code changed default Controller directory so Zend could not find proper Action
