Magento Custom Route/Controller Going to 404

Question

Good morning! I'm trying to create a Magento module, but the route I've defined in the module's config.xml leads to a 404 page.

I know this issue has popped up countless times, and I've spent the entire night reading through every SO response I could find on the subject.

Here's what I've done:

Cleared the var/cache & var/session folder
Ran compiler.php -- clear, compiler.php -- disable, and compiler.php -- compile
Cleared & flushed the caches and cache storage in the admin panel, reindexed from the backend and from the command line
Created a new package/module for testing, completely different from the one that I was using before. It's showing up in System>>Configuration>>Advanced.
Verified that Magento is not appending a store code to the URL
Simplified my code all the way down to a single echo statement in the indexAction() function of IndexController.php in my controllers folder.
Tried navigating to mydomain.com/customroute and mydomain.com/index.php/customroute and mydomain.com/customroute/index/index, and mydomain.com/index.php/index, and all possible variations thereof.
Repeated steps 1-8 multiple times. xD

Below are a few screenshots for reference. Thank you in advance - if anyone has any ideas how to move past this, that'd be a total life-saver. Thanks!!

Here is the code in app/etc/modules/Wolverine_Taurine.xml:

        <Wolverine_Taurine>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Wolverine_Taurine>
    </modules>
</config>

Wolverine/Taurine/etc/config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <config>
    <modules>
        <Wolverine_Taurine>
            <version>1.0</version>
        </Wolverine_Taurine>
    </modules>
    <frontend>
        <routers>
            <wolverine_taurine>
                <use>standard</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Wolverine_Taurine</module>
                    <frontName>taurine</frontName>
                </args>
            </wolverine_taurine>
        </routers>
    </frontend>
 </config>

Wolverine/Taurine/controllers/IndexController.php:

<?php
class Wolverine_Taurine_IndexController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        echo "I look incredible.";
    }
}

give proper permission of your files and folders.it's very important. — monojit

I have used your module and it perfectly works for me. If you are using linux platform then give proper permission of all files and folders. I think this is occurring due to file/folder permission.Change the Linux permissions for all files in your Magento base directory to readable and writable by the owning user (you).Set permissions to 664 for files and 775 for folders. 775 for files will work too. Set 777 for media and var , only 2 folders need to be writable by everyone.
