Zend framework 2 error: unable to render template

I'm working on this tutorial. I have followed all steps to create directory structure, controllers, module.php and module.config.php, but when I open http://zf2-tutorial/album I get the following error:

 Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Zend\View\Exception\RuntimeException' with message 'Zend\View\Renderer\PhpRenderer::render: Unable to render template "album/album/index"; resolver could not resolve to a file' in /var/www/zf2-tutorial/vendor/zendframework/zendframework/library/Zend/View/Renderer/PhpRenderer.php:461

I have created a file named index.phtml inside module directory in view/album/album directory.

module.config.php: 

return array(
    'controllers' => array(
        'invokables' => array(
            'Album\Controller\Album' => 'Album\Controller\AlbumController',       
        ),
        'view_manager' => array(
            'template_map' => array(
            'layout/layout'           => __DIR__ . '/../view/layout/layout.phtml',
            'album/album/index' => __DIR__ . '/../view/album/album/index.phtml',
            'error/404'               => __DIR__ . '/../view/error/404.phtml',
            'error/index'             => __DIR__ . '/../view/error/index.phtml',
                ),
            'template_path_stack' => array(
                'album' => __DIR__ . '/../view',
            )
        )
    ),

    'router' => array(
        'routes' => array(
            'album' => array(
                'type'    => 'segment',
                'options' => array(
                    'route'    => '/album[/:action][/:id]',
                    'constraints' => array(
                        'action' => '[a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9_-]*',
                        'id'     => '[0-9]+',
                    ),
                    'defaults' => array(
                        'controller' => 'Album\Controller\Album',
                        'action'     => 'index',
                    ),
                ),
            ),
        ),
    ),

);

What's wrong?

check your application.config.php module name if it is 'Album' not 'album' change 

'template_path_stack' => array(
    'album' => __DIR__ . '/../view', => //to 'Album' => __DIR__ . '/../view',
),

You should return a view object in IndexController like 

$view = new ViewModel(array('albums' => $this->getAlbumTable()->fetchAll(),));
$view->setTemplate("album/album/index/index.phtml");
return $view;

instead of directly returning

return array('albums' => $this->getAlbumTable()->fetchAll(),);

In my case, the trouble was in the view file name. I named it index.php instead of index.phtml.

Ensure that you use forward slash and not backslash when in the template_map array which is inside the view_manager of the module.config.php

There isn't 'home' route anymore in Album\config\module.config.php so

it's necessary to replace 'H/home' to 'A/album' in ..\module\Album\view\layout\layout.phtml

I faced the same problem. I've changed the below line of file module.config.php, Existing in the document,

'view_manager' => array(
  'template_path_stack' => array(
  'album' => __DIR__ . '/../view',
  ),
),

to 

'view_manager' => array(
  'template_path_stack' => array(
  'album' => __DIR__ . '/../src/view',
  ),
),

Just add src folder name in front of view folder.

Like this, you need to add 'src' folder name before all the view paths.

Apart from this you need to add 2 things in module.config.php in routes array put below code

'home' => array(
                'type' => 'Zend\Mvc\Router\Http\Literal',
                'options' => array(
                    'route'    => '/',
                    'defaults' => array(
                        'controller' => 'Album\Controller\Album',
                        'action'     => 'index',
                    ),
                ),
        ),

and translator array along with language folder

'translator' => array(
    'locale' => 'en_US',
    'translation_file_patterns' => array(
        array(
            'type'     => 'gettext',
            'base_dir' => __DIR__ . '/../language',
            'pattern'  => '%s.mo',
        ),
    ),
),

check if you have provided the correct parameters or nesting for your view_manager in the module.config.php file

Your view_manager is in wrong place. It should be on "controllers" and "router" level, not inside "controllers". Look at module.config.php in Application module and see the difference.

I have checked your codes with Album module. Everything is fine. You may have a problem with htaccess file. Please check.

The PhpRenderer object is complaining because it cannot find the view phtml file.

Does the file module/Album/view/album/album/index.phtml exist? If not then that's likely the cause.
