php - Getting a 404 when trying to access my Zend module -

i'm trying learn zend framework 1.12 module directory structure created hand. far have modules sort of working default adding bootstrap.php resides under application folder.

$this->bootstrap("frontcontroller");   $front = $this->getresource("frontcontroller");           $front->addmoduledirectory(application_path . '/modules');   

i tried using application.ini settings below, kept giving me exception saying 'no default controller directory registered front controller'.

resources.frontcontroller.defaultcontroller = "index" resources.frontcontroller.defaultaction = "index" resources.frontcontroller.defaultmodule = "default" resources.frontcontroller.moduledirectory = application_path "/modules"  resources.modules[] = "" 

here directory structure:

root  | +- application    |    +- configs    |  |    |  +- application.ini    |         +- modules       |       +- default       |  |       |  +- controllers       |  |  |       |  |  +- indexcontroller.php       |  |       |  +- views       |     |       |     +- scripts       |        |       |        +- index       |           |       |           +- index.phtml       |         +- signup          |                +- controllers          |  |          |  +- indexcontroller.php          |          +- views             |             +- scripts                |                +- index                  |                  +- index.phtml 

this rewrite rules:

rewriteengine on rewriterule ^myroot/.*$ index.php [nc] 

i try accessing http://mysite.com/root/signup keep getting 404. missing setup modules in zend?

update: if set default signup, works.

resources.frontcontroller.defaultmodule = "signup" 

my best guess right rewriterule not redirecting index.php when enter

http://www.mysite.com/root/signup

add application.ini

resources.frontcontroller.moduledirectory = application_path "/modules" resources.modules[] = "default" resources.modules[] = "signup"
