Zend Framework Module access

Question

I have created a module called Admin and created a controller Admin through zend tool. and added follwoing code in the bootstrap

protected function _initAutoLoad ()
{
    $front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
    $front->setControllerDirectory(array(
                            'default' => APPLICATION_PATH . '/default/controllers' ,
                            'Admin'   => APPLICATION_PATH . '/Admin/controllers'
                                  ));
    $autoloader = Zend_Loader_Autoloader::getInstance();
    $autoloader->suppressNotFoundWarnings(false);
}

But if I am accessing http://localhost/zf_hemr/Admin url I am getting "Not Found" error. if I am accessing "http://localhost/zf_hemr/public/Admin" url I am getting following error:

Page not found
Exception information:

Message: Invalid controller specified (index)

Can you please let me know where I went wrong?

You probably forgot to add /modulesto your paths:

$front->setControllerDirectory(array(
                              'default' => APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules/default/controllers',
                              'Admin'   => APPLICATION_PATH . '/modules/Admin/controllers'
                              ));

However, you shouldn't have to do this, the right way to do it to me is to add these lines in your configuration.ini file:

resources.modules[] =
resources.frontController.moduleDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules"
resources.frontController.prefixDefaultModule = false

The first line enables the resource plugin Zend_Application_Resource_Modules that is going to take care of everything for you.
