[SOLVED] Module not listed in extensions -> modules list

[yelwor]

I've spent all afternoon searching the forum for an answer but to no avail.

I've tried installing a module i'm developing which I can install without problems on my production server but when it comes to installing on a hosts server no joy.  When I copy the folder contents to modules folder on host it doesn't appear in the modules list in extensions -> module.  When I try importing the module from an XML file it creates the module correctly but still doesn't appear in the extensions -> modules list.

Has anyone encountered this before? I receive no error messages and can't find any in the HTML.  The module I've developed has two dependencies both of which exist already installed.  Also, I've managed to install other modules from the module manager.

php 4.3.1
cms 1.2.3

Many thanks

Right! What a nightmare but cracked it!

The module folder was called CheckOut (uppercase C and uppercase O) and the module name was checkOut (lowercase C and uppercase O) so for some reason on the hosts server it didn't appear in the list.  By changing the module name to match the folder name everything worked correctly.  After inspecting other modules installed such as FrontEndUsers I managed to find it.

So, all those new to CMS module development, like myself, watch the case sensitivity!

Hope this helps.
