Question

Im trying to create a custom route on the administration, but is not working, it gives me a 404.

config.xml:

<global>
...
</global>

    <admin>
        <routers>
            <cloud_magni>
                <use>admin</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Cloud_Magni</module>
                    <frontName>secondinvoice</frontName>
                </args>
            </cloud_magni>
        </routers>
    </admin>
</config>

app/code/local/Cloud/Magni/controllers/Adminhtml/IndexController.php

class Cloud_Magni_IndexController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{

    public function sayHelloAction(){
        echo "Hello World";
    }
}

The url im accessing is:

https://somedomain.com/index.php/admin/secondinvoice/sayHello/key/018460841df56cd3a7fbe2d720d750d2/

Every time when you have problem with routing use Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Router_Standard::_validateControllerClassName function to debug controller file path and classname

Answer 2

Change in your config.xml

...

<admin>
    <routers>
        <adminhtml>
            <use>admin</use>
            <args>
                <modules>
                    <namespace before="Mage_Adminhtml">NameSpace_Module_Adminhtml</namespace>
                </modules>
                <frontName>secondinvoice</frontName>
            </args>
        </adminhtml>
    </routers>
</admin>

Replace your namespace to your NAMESPACE and NameSpace_Module to your own.

UPDATE

change this class Cloud_Magni_IndexController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action

to

class Cloud_Magni_Adminhtml_IndexController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action

Try this:

config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    ...
    ...
    ...
    <admin>
        <routers>
            <cloud_magni>
                <use>admin</use>
                <args>
                    <module>Cloud_Magni</module>
                    <frontName>secondinvoice</frontName>
                </args>
            </cloud_magni>
        </routers>
   </admin>
   ...
   ...
   ...   
</config>

IndexController.php

app\code\local\Cloud\Magni\controllers\Adminhtml\IndexController.php

<?php
class Cloud_Magni_Adminhtml_IndexController extends Mage_Adminhtml_Controller_Action
{
    /**
     * Method for render layout
     */
    public function sayHelloAction()
    {
        echo "Hello World";
        die;
        $this->loadLayout();
        $this->renderLayout();
    }
}

Note: If your access url via admin top menu then used below code in action tag in config.xml or adminhtml.xml

<action>secondinvoice/adminhtml_index/sayHello</action>

If your used in php & pthml then use below code

$this->getUrl('secondinvoice/adminhtml_index/sayHello', array('_current'=>true));

For eg. <a href="<?php echo $this->getUrl('secondinvoice/adminhtml_index/sayHello', array('_current'=>true)); ?>">Say Hello</a>
