[fw-general] Routing: / != /index != /index/index?

[Jan Pieper]

Hi guys,

I want to redirect to / if a given article is not existent in database. I added 
a route for "index/index" and thought if I redirect to / it is the same as 
/index/index, but it isn´t. I have to add routes for /, /index and /index/index.

I don´t think this is correct. I am using my own router 
(Flabben_Controller_Router_Database extends Zend_Controller_Router_Rewrite) 
which fetchs the routes stored in database and add them to the router via 
addRoute().

Here (http://www.paste2.org/p/15565, it isn´t final yet!) you can see my actual 
database based router and here (http://www.paste2.org/p/15566) how I am using 
it. var_dump'd router http://www.paste2.org/p/15567.

I have two routes in my database:

name=index {
    module: null
    controller: article
    action: index
    route: index/index
}

name=showArticle {
    module: null
    controller: article
    action: index
    route: article/:id/:title
}

My ArticleController::indexAction() selects the requested article from database 
(Zend_Db_Table) and if current() returns NULL I redirect to / 
($this->_redirect('/')) but then my page is without content. The same if I 
redirect to /index. Only if I redirect to /index/index I get the latest article.

Where is my mistake? Why is / != /index != /index/index?
