[FIXED] Moved baked Tag project form development to live and URLS not working

Issue

Forgive me, I am still super new to cakephp. There are many things I haven't done yet. Migrating a baked aspects of my dev site to my live site is one of them. I followed a tutorial to add tags to my website. Cake Tags Tut Everything on the dev site works perfect. Today I tried to move everything to the live site. I know its not the proper way to do it but I made a list of the changes I made and then moved the files and made the changes on the website. When I go to the URLs I need to use the tags I get an error. I have routes set up for the URLs and everything. Even though on the dev site I don't even need the routes for the URLs to work. Which makes me wonder about the baking process. After I gave the dev site the bake command the URLS were just there, it created all the skeleton code for the URL localhost/tags/add to work and I was able to start creating tags. Funny thing, all the functionality on the live site is there. When I create a post I can add tags to the DB and they pull fine when editing the post, they even show on the views. The only thing, I cant get to work are the index.ctp, add.ctp and edit.ctp for the tags. If you need any more info please just ask and I will provide it.

Route to define url for tags:

$routes->connect('/tags', ['controller' => 'Tags', 'action' => 'index']);

UPDATE:

I briefly turned on debug mode on the live site. Reloaded the page and got and error that has a bit more info.

Error: The layout file Admin/Layout/Admin.ctp can not be found or does not exist.

Confirm you have created the file: Admin/Layout/Admin.ctp in one of the following paths: /home/nerej/public_html/src/Template/Admin/Layout/Admin.ctp

Hmmm, funny. In my dev site I was also having a similar issue.

Solution

OK, basically a naming convention error. The new error helped me track it down.

I was calling this in my funciton in TagsController:

$this->viewBuilder()->layout('Admin');

But needed this:

$this->viewBuilder()->layout('admin');
