If your voltage reading was zero right from the solar panel (not after the charge controller) then your solar panel is defective.
... and if voltage is zero after the controller, then controller is defective or panel is not connected to correct terminals, or meter is not connected to correct terminals. Plenty of possibilities :)
One thing to remember is that controller should be connected to battery BEFORE connecting it to the panel, otherwise it could burn out.
