Where to set a breakpoint to troubleshoot 404

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

I am following the instructions in this article

http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/146/how-to-use-a-widget-as-an-action-provider/

But I just get 404.

I set a breakpoint in both of the "actions" methods, but nothing ever calls them.

So what I need to do is set a breakpoint right at the beginning of Yii, where it picks up the raw html request and single-step from there to figure out why it is not picking up my action.

But where is that line where Yii starts?

do you have the




  'import'=>array(

        ...,

        'application.components.*', //  <<<< this line

    	....

  ),

in your protected/config/main.php? If not then your testProvider.php is not getting imported.

I have that.

It seems significant that SiteController::actions() is never called.

My request just goes to SiteController::actionindex.

I found it.

My url has to be

index.php?r=site/…

not

index.php/site/…

as the author wrote.
