I am having similar problems with routing in Magento 1.7.0.2, although all module routing chain is right (checked many times for typos or missing elements, on different modules, cleared cache (also in var folders).

And after googling for hours and tring every possible solution, it appears that there is an issue with custom routing in Magento 1.7.0.2 (not 1.7).

Expecially with the pattern on your first three code chunks. However, if it helps you, you could try:

http://www.pierrefay.com/magento-create-controller-36 (specially the discussions in comments)

http://www.magentocommerce.com/knowledge-base/entry/magento-for-dev-part-3-magento-controller-dispatch

Hope it helps, please let us know if you have luck with this issue.

Multiple issues.

  • Your etc/config.xml file is missing a closing </config> tag.
  • You named your controller file IndexAction.php. It must be IndexController.php.
  • Your indexAction should use $this->loadLayout()->renderLayout();.
  • Your layout/test.xml uses an undefined block test/view. Use page/html for now.

After fixing these issues I can see your sample output of view.phtml on a naked 1.7.0.2.
