magento custom payment module not showing in live site. but showing in development site

Question

I am experiencing very strange thing. I have made a custom payment module on my development server (Mac Lion). Everything works great actually perfect on dev server. When i move it to live site it is not visible in backend/admin as well as in the front.

I have spent hours on it but cannot figure it out. I can see the module in advance tab and enabled. I have cleared cache actually i have disabled it as well. I am not sure what wrong here. My development and live site has same magento version 1.5.1. I am including my code here so please welcome to suggest what the problem is.

config.xml

  <global>
    <models>
      <callpayment>
         <class>Bestdirect_CallPayment_Model</class>
      </callpayment>
    </models>
  </global>

 <default>
   <payment>
     <callpayment>
       <active>1</active>
       <model>callpayment/paymentMethod</model>
       <order_status>1</order_status>
       <title>ePayment</title>
       <payment_action>authorize_capture</payment_action>
    </callpayment>
  </payment>
 </default>

 <frontend>
   <routers>
    <callpayment>
        <use>standard</use>
        <args>
        <module>Bestdirect_CallPayment</module>
        <frontName>callpayment</frontName>
        </args>
    </callpayment>
  </routers>

I think here same problem with answer http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7926087/magento-module-works-well-on-localhost-but-not-on-live-server/ — Юрий Николаев, Apr 04 '12 at 16:50
i am just banging my head against core code to see if i can find a solution. still no answer. — Zero Cool, Apr 04 '12 at 22:19
You code works fine. Maybe you have copied not all files? Here is no file from /app/etc/modules/*.xml — Юрий Николаев, Apr 05 '12 at 05:17
Module registration file is in etc/modules. I can see module in configuration/advance — Zero Cool, Apr 05 '12 at 08:16
Maybe folder structure wrong? This code work fine (settings are available in admin under payment modules). — Юрий Николаев, Apr 05 '12 at 09:48
ok now i have installed ubuntu and LAMP server, magento and my extension. everything works great. which means its not filename case sensitivity issue. i am gonna try on live server to see. — Zero Cool, Apr 05 '12 at 12:19
no ot does not work on live server. I am starting to think there might be some confliction. — Zero Cool, Apr 05 '12 at 12:25

At a glance my first question would be to determine whether your production PHP include_path setting knows where to look for the Bestdirect library. The require_once statement will use that path, and fail if it can't find the library. This failure will presumably be silent on your production server since you probably have display_errors disabled.

I actually tried by removing require_once and removed anything. I only left model calss name and protected $_code but same thing. – Zero Cool Apr 04 '12 at 14:29
Can you clarify? Removing `require_once` will probably make the problem worse because `Verkkomaksut_Module_Rest.php` won't load. Either prepend the complete path to the `Bestdirect` library or modify your PHP `include_path` setting to point to that path. I suspect this is contributing to the problem you are facing. – Jason Gilmore Apr 04 '12 at 14:55
Maybe i should clarify. i removed require once and anything function requiring Verkkomaksut_Module_Rest.php. Actually i just created a simple payment module with just model class. It works on dev site bit not on live site. – Zero Cool Apr 04 '12 at 15:01

I know this is a old question, but this could help somebody. This is probably a typo on on upper/lowercase. Zero Cool's module name is Bestdirect_CallPayment, if on app/etc/Bestdirect_CallPayment.xml the module name is typed on a different upper/lowercase combination (e.g Bestdirect_Callpayment) it will work on a Mac but not on Linux. That's because the way file systems deal with upper/lowercase. Hope it helps!
