Cannot load controller class

Hi,
I really need help.
I've been all the week trying to setting up a simple single module MVC project with Zend_Controller and Smarty, I want to start using it from now and on and when I thought I get it, having three controller working ok (Index Error and Login Controller), I added another one and started to get this exception message when pointing my browser to:

http://localhost/ahome/work2/user/show-user

Cannot load controller class "UserController" from file "UserController.php" in directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\ahome\work2\application/controllers"

My directory structure is like this:

Code:

...work2/
           index.php
          .htaccess
          application/
                         controllers/
                                       generated/
                         views/
                                configs/
                                templates/
                                templates_c/  
                         models/
                         libs/

the UserController code is:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

    //Imlementation file, you MUST modify this!



    require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/generated/UserController_Abstract.php';

    

    /**

     * Concrete class doing the custom stuff

     * Create the templates needed to work with this

     * in the application/views/templates directory

     */

    class UserController extends UserController_Abstract

    {

        

        protected function handleShowUserAction($theView)

        {

            die("Function handleShowUserAction(theView), Not Implemented. ");

        }

        

        

        

        public function __construct()

        {

            parent::__construct();

        }

        

    }

    

?>

and the UserController_Abstract:

PHP Code:


			
<?php

    //Generated file, do not modifiy by hand.

    

    require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/../../common.app.inc.php';

    require_once ZEND_HOME.'Controller/Action.php';

    require_once APP_HOME.'Zend_View_Smarty.php';

    require_once MODELS_HOME.'Factory.php';

    

    /**

     * Abstract class for subclassing

     */

    abstract class UserController_Abstract extends Zend_Controller_Action

    {

      

        /**

         * Keeps reference to UserService

         */

        private $userService;

        

        //Getter method for Attribute of type: UserService

        public function getUserService()

        {

            return $this->userService;

        }

        

        

        //Setter method for Attribute of type: UserService

        public function setUserService($newValue)

        {

            $this->userService = $newValue;

        }

        

          

        public function init()

        {

            // Since using Smarty not needed.

            $this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);

        }

    

        public function preDispatch()

        {

            //Verify if user is authenticated

            require_once ZEND_HOME.'Auth.php';

            $auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();

            if (! $auth->hasIdentity())

                //Redirected to generated login controller

                $this->_forward('login', 'login');

        }

    

        

        /**

         * ShowUser action

         */

        public function showUserAction()

        {

            //Create the Smarty View Wrapper

            $view = new Zend_View_Smarty();

            $view->setScriptPath(VIEWS_HOME);

             

            //Assign variables here

            handleShowUserAction($view);

            

            //Display the view (i.e. the Smarty Template)

            $view->render('showUser.tpl');

        }

          

        /**

         * Handler to do custom things in action, assigning variables

         * or get/set request parameters to redirect to other action, etc...

         * override it in: User class.

         */

        

        abstract protected function handleShowUserAction($theView);

        

        

        public function noRouteAction()

        {

            $this->_redirect('/');

        }

        

        /**

         * Initialize the services, called from UserController 

         */

        public function __construct()

        {

            $this->userService = Factory::newInstance(USERSERVICE);

        }

        

    }

    

?>

the bootstrapping file is this:

PHP Code:


			
//For the case of zend framwork not being in include_path, 

    //if it is, this is not needed.

    //set_include_path('.' . PATH_SEPARATOR . 'application/libs/zend' . PATH_SEPARATOR . get_include_path());

    

    require_once dirname(__FILE__).'/application/common.app.inc.php';

    require_once ZEND_HOME.'Controller/Front.php';

 

    $front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();

    $front->setParam('useDefaultControllerAlways', true);

    $front->setControllerDirectory(CONTS_HOME);

    

    $front->dispatch();

and the .htaccess is the same as in docs. As i said other three controllers are working fine, redirecting ok, and also rendering the templates. The mod_rewrite is working in my server too.
I know that this could be a simple thing to solve, it is just I can realize what is (Two days trying to figure it out and now I get lost

).

Please any idea would be great, Sorry if it is a too long post.

Thanks.

It seems to me the file UserController_Abstract.php is not getting found. I suggest testing my theory by placing a copy of the UserController_Abstract.php file into a directory that is in the php include_path and see if it works.
