The code looks fine. Which CakePHP version do you use? What is the filename of your controller? And how do you try to access your controller? — dhofstet
version 2.4.6 filename PostController.php www.example.com/Post/index — Muhammad Ali Hassan
You should be navigating to posts with an s, as in www.example.com/posts/index (the capitalization doesn't matter on "posts" or "index") — Kai
The file has to be named PostsController.php and you have to access it in the way @Kai mentioned. — dhofstet

Your controller should be named PostsController.php (ie plural)

Just spotted it, you need to extend AppController in CakePHP 2.x, not Controller: ie:

class PostsController extends AppController {
