Question

Magento installation custom extension not recognised

I added an extension to a new magento 2 digital ocean droplet. But when I run setup upgrade the extension is not added to app\etc\config.php. I’ve added a folder in app called tomispepe and added a folder in it called checkout.

these are my files: /var/www/html/magento/app/tomispepe/checkout/registration.php <?php \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register( \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE, ‘tomispepe_checkout’, DIR );

the module xml is here: /var/www/html/magento/app/tomispepe/checkout/etc/module.xml <?xml version=“1.0”?> <config xmlns:xsi=“http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance” xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation=“urn:magento:framework:Module/etc/module.xsd”> <module name=“tomispepe_checkout” setup_version=“1.0.0”/> </config>

that’s it.

Then I ran: ./bin/magento cache:flush ./bin/magento setup:upgrade

then this should have included my new extension cat app/etc/config.php | grep tom but it did not!

in my dev env this works but on my droplet it does not. There must be something unique about my droplet. Please help.

Accepted Answer

Hi, I think your files should be like /var/www/html/magento/app/**code/**tomispepe/checkout/registration.php instead of /var/www/html/magento/app/tomispepe/checkout/registration.php

means you should add your extension in your app/code directory instead of app directory

That is right. I just fixed it myself and it worked! Thanks.
