On installation i am getting

I can't see my "hello world" module in module manager, but can see it in mysql's extension table - and fyi - manifest cache field is "false"

I m stuck on this thing since past two days.


Kindly help me to solve this

Does it appear when using "New" in the module manager?

Sovainfo - thanks for a reply



yes it appears when using "New" in the module manager


on clicking it shows "Error" - "Error loading form file"

So, upon installation it registers the module but doesn't create an instance to be used. You need to do that yourself, which is standard. Unfortunately there is something wrong with your module.

Try checking the xml files by dropping them in a browser. It shouldn't complain and provide a structured view of the content. Ignore the header about not having style, that is not complaing.

Hey sovainfo - you were right, the problem was indeed in xml, i copied and pasted xml code on 2nd line from "hello world module development tutorial", got the error when i opened xml on a browser as per your instructions.





Thank you so much!!!
