CakePHP Routing MissingControllerException

I currently have a CakePHP route setup from: Variable Prefixed Routing in CakePHP

Here's my routes.php:

Router::connect(
    "/:forum/:controller/:action/*",
    array(),
    array("pass" => array("forum"))
);

Router::connect(
    "/:forum",
    array(
        "controller" => "forums",
        "action" => "index"
    ),
    array("pass" => array("forum"))
);

This works perfectly, for example /example/users/login will be routed to UsersController::login, and $this->request->params["forum"] will contain example.

However, upon looking at tmp/logs/debug.log I see that there are a lot of errors produced by this route, and I can't understand why this happens because the routing apparently works perfectly:

2012-08-22 02:29:09 Error: [MissingControllerException] Controller class ExampleController could not be found.
#0 /var/www/app/webroot/index.php(92): Dispatcher->dispatch(Object(CakeRequest), Object(CakeResponse))
#1 {main}

It essentially is attempting to look for a ExampleController (because I am trying to access /example/users/login), but routes.php specifically tells CakePHP to look for Users controller as opposed to Example Controller.

Is there a way to fix this issue? I cannot understand why it happens since everything apparently works correctly.

Does /example/users work, as in does it route to UsersController::index(). If not, you should need a route for just /:forum/:controller so try adding this before your current routes and see if it clears up the errors:

Router::connect(
    "/:forum/:controller",
    array('action' => 'index'),
    array("pass" => array("forum"))
);
