override core controller in custom module in Magento

HI i have to extend the core controller in my own module for this i am referencing the below link http://inchoo.net/tools-frameworks/how-to-extend-magento-core-controller/

below is my module structure

/var/www/magento1.9/app/etc/modules

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--we need to enable this module as any other if-->
<!--you wish to do it as standalone module extension-->
<config>
    <modules>
        <Inchoo_Coreextended>
            <active>true</active>
            <codepool>local</codepool>
        </Inchoo_Coreextended>
    </modules>
</config>

/var/www/magento1.9/app/code/local/Inchoo/Coreextended/controllers/Frontend/Customer/AccountController.php

<?php
require_once Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', 'Mage_Customer').DS.'AccountController.php';
//we need to add this one since Magento wont recognize it automatically
class Inchoo_Coreextended_Frontend_Customer_AccountController extends Mage_Customer_AccountController
{//here, you extended the core controller with our
public function indexAction()
{
parent::indexAction();
//you can always use default functionality
}
public function myactionAction()
{
//my code
//you can write your own methods / actions
}
public function mymethod()
{
//my code
//you can write your own methods
}
public function loginAction()
{

    echo "hello";
//finally you can write your code that will rewrite the whole core method
//and you can call for your own methods, as you have full control over core controller
}
}

/var/www/magento1.9/app/code/local/Inchoo/Coreextended/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>

I have fixed this by making changes in following file:

app/etc/modules/Inchoo_Coreextended.xml .

Before: 

<config>
    <modules>
        <Inchoo_Coreextended>
            <active>true</active>
            <codepool>local</codepool>
        </Inchoo_Coreextended>
    </modules>
</config>

After: 

<config>
    <modules>
        <Inchoo_Coreextended>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Inchoo_Coreextended>
    </modules>
</config>

codepool should be codePool
