I'm trying to learn Zend Framework 2 and I have their skeleton application up and running. In order to access it I visit http://localhost:8080/. When visiting that link it displays their generic Zend page. What I want to be able to do is visit http://localhost:8080/application/test and have it bring me to a different page with a different layout.
Here is the module.config.php
<?php

In order to make it work for me this is what I tried:
First I created a controller named TestController in Application/src/Application/Controller/.
Next I added 'application/test/index' => DIR . '/../view/application/test/index.phtml' to the template_map array in view_manager.
I also added 'Application\Controller\Test' => 'Application\Controller\TestController' to the controllers array.
When I visit http://localhost:8080/application/test I get the error: test(resolves to invalid controller class or alias: test)
I'm obviously doing something wrong but tbh the documentation on Zend is not newb friendly at all and it's becoming very frustrating. Could someone point me in the correct direction? There's just so much configuration that I'm sure I'm missing something small. Thanks!
