I'm trying to setup a section in system>configuration for an existing module which doesn't yet have a section there. This is my first time doing this so I may have missed something.
adminhtml.xml (the code I've added is in between the tags:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<menu>
<factoryx_menu>
<title>Factory X</title>
<sort_order>85</sort_order>

I've managed to get "Notification Board" to show in system>config, but when I click it I get taken to a 404 error. I thought this might be a permission issue, but I changed the file permissions and it didn't help.
I also tried clearing cache and sessions as I read that could be a possible cause.
I've ensured that my role is set to administrator and I have all access.
Thanks so much for taking the time for this

Upon posting this question I proof read it and noticed I had notificationboard instead of factoryx_notificationboard in some places, I've adjusted that and it fixed the issue.
