Migrating from cakephp 1.3 to cakephp 2.4

Question

I am migrating application code from cake 1.3 to cake 2.4. I am following cakephp migration guide.

After following the steps mentioned there I am sill unable to run my code and getting this error:

Controller class Controller could not be found.

I checked the error log in cakephp and found:

2014-06-10 18:37:56 Error: [MissingControllerException] Controller class Controller could not be found. Exception Attributes: array ( 'class' => 'Controller', 'plugin' => NULL, )

I am trying to debug it but no results.

I have had the same issue today.

You need to have the following 2 lines in your app/Config/routes.php

CakePlugin::routes();
require CAKE . 'Config' . DS . 'routes.php';

Also, make sure you have updated the .htaccess files in /, app/, and app/webroot.
