So I have created a custom plugin using 3.7, but i cannot get it to work.

bin/cake bake plugin Finance  
bin/cake bake all purchase\_orders --plugin Finance

**My composer.json :**

```
 "autoload": {
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\": "src/",
            "Finance\\": "./plugins/Finance/src/"
        }
    },
    "autoload-dev": {
        "psr-4": {
            "App\\Test\\": "tests/",
            "Cake\\Test\\": "vendor/cakephp/cakephp/tests/",
            "Finance\\Test\\": "./plugins/Finance/tests/"
        }
    },

```

**I also ran this:**  
composer dumpautoload

**navigate to /finance/purchaseOrders/index and get this error:**  
2019-03-15 17:04:26 Error: [Cake\Routing\Exception\MissingControllerException] Controller class Finance could not be found.

**My vendor/cakephp-plugins.php has this line:**  
‘Finance’ =\> $baseDir . ‘/plugins/Finance/’,

**I have also tried adding autoload to the Application.php file:**  
`$this->addPlugin('Finance', ['autoload' => true]);`

I have tried a number of different options but cannot seem to figure this out, and have little to no help with debug logs

**I have tied adding this to config/routes.php:**  
$routes-\>scope(’/finance’, function ($routes) {  
$routes-\>loadPlugin(‘Finance’);  
});

**plugins/Finance/config/routes.php:**  
Router::plugin(  
‘Finance’,  
[‘path’ =\> ‘/finance’],  
function (RouteBuilder $routes) {  
$routes-\>fallbacks(DashedRoute::class);  
}  
);

Still no luck

What does you " **purchaseOrders**" look like?

I just: baked the plugin.  
Created a controller file called **PurchaseorderController.php** in `APP/plugins/src/Controller`

```
<?php
namespace Finance\Controller;
use App\Controller\AppController;

class PurchaseorderController extends AppController
{
	public function index()
	{

	}
}

```

Navigated to /finance/purchaseorder/index

and it gave me missing template error.

Conclusion: It is working.

What did you do differently?

**Ya, its not working. My PurchaseOrdersController.php:**

```
<?php
namespace Finance\Controller;

use Finance\Controller\AppController;
use Cake\ORM\TableRegistry;

class PurchaseOrdersController extends AppController
{
  
    public function index()
    {

```

…

Ya, its not working for me…

I wonder if it has anything to do with Centos 7. I have selinux off, but think there might be some permissions issue

You are not seeing Server App’s error. What you are seeing is a cake error. Application level exception.  
However…  
I reckon, there is an issue with php start up. Can you confirm if PHP was able to load dynamic library http.so ?  
Also, if you are on a shared hosting using CentOS, it wont work!

`php -m | grep http`

If it shows http, then we can debug further, otherwise just change the host.

What the … phpenmod

Try:

`phpenmod http`

If it says phpenmod command not found.

Head over to php.ini file (loaded by your web server) and uncomment the line which ends with http.so (uncomment = remove semi-colon)

Right!

Test the same code in ubuntu, if it is possible, move to a different OS. Cent is notorious to even run Laravel properly at times.

May I recommend to look into Docker?  
This way, you can make the “works on my machine” scenarios less common 😛
