So, I'm trying to run a setup script with my module. (Magento 1.7) I have this is my modules config.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Sulman_Custompermissions>
            <version>1.0.0.0</version>
        </Sulman_Custompermissions>
    </modules>

    <global>
        <resources>
            <mymodule_setup>
                <setup>
                    <module>Sulman_Custompermissions</module>
                </setup>
            </mymodule_setup>
        </resources>
    </global>
</config>

This my file structure for the install script: /app/code/local/Sulman/Custompermissions/sql/mymodule_setup/install-1.0.0.0.php

Then in my install-1.0.0.0.php script simply runs this:

die('here');

The issue is that the install script never seems to get run (nothing dies). BUT There IS a row correctly inserted in to the core_resource table... Any clues? Thanks

(p.s. if there is a record in the core_resource table it is removed before I try to run the script)

How are you triggering the setup script workflow? –  benmarks May 27 at 15:42

Based on the fact that your module's config XML is being merged in (hence the record in core_resource), and assuming that the XML in your post is a copy of that content, there are three possibilities:

  1. Filesystem hierarchy: you have a typo in your filename, folders, or incorrect folder structure
  2. Permissions: PHP cannot include() the contents of your file
  3. There is duplicate config.xml which specifies a different subdirectory, and this file is actually not being merged.

Solutions:

  1. Look, look, look
  2. Check permissions, test the script directly

  3. grep, break the config XML in the file in which you are working, and/or dump the config XML for the xpaths in question:

    echo Mage::getConfig()->getNode('modules/Sulman_Custompermissions/version');
echo Mage::getConfig()->getNode('global/resources/mymodule_setup/setup/module');

Ahhh! You were right. It turned out it was a case issue in etc/modules/Sulman_Custompermissions.xml....Magento still amazes me that something so seemingly unrelated can cause some things to work and some things not to work! Oh well. Lesson learned. Thanks Ben. –  sulman May 27 at 16:27

Modify your config.xml to 1.0.0.0 

<global>
    <resources>
        <mymodule_setup>
            <setup>
                <module>Sulman_Custompermissions</module>
            </setup>
            <connection>
                <use>core_setup</use>
            </connection>
        </mymodule_setup>
    </resources>
</global>

and change the install script file name to mysql4-install-1.0.0.0.php and delete the entry from core_resource table and clear the cache and check....

mysql4- prefix is deprecated in CE1.7 and connection is not necessary. –  benmarks May 27 at 15:53
 
ahh, Thanks benmarks for good point. –  Amit May 27 at 16:49
