Module causes 404 errors on index and magento connect pages

Question

I am getting a 404 message within the body of the index and magento connect admin pages. When I remove the module that I recently added, they come back. Can you see what is wrong with my module that is causing this issue? I got the files from this tutorial.

Caitlinhavenerr/Addschool/Block/ShowTabsAdminBlock.php:

<?php

class Caitlinhavener_Addschool_Block_ShowTabsAdminBlock extends Mage_Adminhtml_Block_Widget_Tabs
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->setId('my_custom_freely_assigned_id_for_tabs');

        /*
         * By default DestElementId = 'content'... if you trace the function you will see.
         * Meaning, it responds to layout block name?! like "content", "footer", "left"... 
         * Its basicaly telling the layout where to output tabs canvas aka display area
         */
        //$this->setDestElementId('my_custom_edit_form');

        $this->setTitle(Mage::helper('coffefreakhelper1')->__('Add Schools'));
    }

    protected function _beforeToHtml()
    {
       /* $this->addTab('custom_assigned_tab1_id_name', array(
            'label'     => Mage::helper('coffefreakhelper1')->__('Custom tab1 here'),
            'title'     => Mage::helper('coffefreakhelper1')->__('My custom tab1 title here'),
            'content'   => 'Some content here. We could add direct string here, or we can use something like $this->getLayout()->createBlock("adminhtml/cms_page_edit_tab_main")->toHtml()',
            'active'    => true
        ));

        $this->addTab('custom_aka_freely_assigned_tab2_id_name', array(
            'label'     => Mage::helper('coffefreakhelper1')->__('Custom tab2 here'),

            'content'   => 'Another content here. As mentioned, we could add direct string here, or we can use something like $this->getLayout()->createBlock("adminhtml/cms_page_edit_tab_main")->toHtml()',

        ));

            'content'   => $this->getLayout()->createBlock("coffefreakblock2/SampleBlockForTabAreaShowoff")->toHtml(),
            'active'    => false
        ));  */  

        $this->addTab('custom_aka_freely_assigned_tab4_id_name', array(

            'content'   => $this->getLayout()->createBlock("coffefreakblock1/SampleBlockForTabAreaShowoffWithExtraInfo")->toHtml(),
            'active'    => false
        ));          

        return parent::_beforeToHtml();
    }  
}

controllers/AdminControllersHere/FreakOutController.php:

<?php

class Caitlinhavener_Addschool_AdminControllersHere_FreakOutController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        //Get current layout state
        $this->loadLayout();

        //Create core block based on inchoo/example_core_block.phtml template (view) file
        //Note the location "adminhtml"... needs to be there since this is admin controller
        $block = $this->getLayout()->createBlock(
            'Mage_Core_Block_Template',
            'my_block_name_here',
            array('template' => 'Caitlinhavener/example_core_block.phtml')

        $this->getLayout()->getBlock('content')->append($block);
        //Below example does the same thing, and looks cooler :)
        //$this->_addContent($block);

        //Release layout stream... lol... sounds fancy
        $this->renderLayout();
    }
}

same folder FreakOutController2.php:

<?php

            array('template' => 'Caitlinhavener/example_core_block.phtml')
        );

        //$this->_addContent($block);

        $this->_addLeft($this->getLayout()->createBlock('Caitlinhavener_Addschool_Block_ShowTabsAdminBlock'));

        $this->renderLayout();
    }
}

Your <routers> configuration is incorrect. As guessed at, your configuration is telling Magento to use your module as a place to look for admin controllers. When it can't find them, it gets sad.

Specifically,

<samplerouter1/> should be <adminhtml/>
Remove the <module>Caitlinhavener_Addschool_AdminControllersHere</module> tag, it's not needed
Remove the <frontName>admin</frontName> tag, it's not needed

Changing samplerouter tag to adminhtml makes the index page return but when I click into the module page it redirects to the frontend 404 message. – CaitlinHavener Aug 06 '13 at 17:35
Which means Magento's having trouble finding your controller files. There's debugging information in the above linked articles. – Alana Storm Aug 06 '13 at 17:36

Do not Remove the "Caitlinhavener_Addschool_AdminControllersHere" In the action use: adminhtml/FreakOut

Move the module from the "community" folder to "local" folder. Change the codepool (in etc/modules .xml) from community to local.

Works perfect with Magento 1.7.0.2.
