Plugin won't enable

Question

I have created my own plugin. It works on my Mac but when I try to enabled it in my Debian server it shows as Disabled with a red dot. What's the best way to debug this?

I have not found anything particularly illuminating in the logs yet.

Turns out I had a capitalization typo in my plugin php file name.

myPlugin.php

class MyPlugin ...

Renaming the file to MyPlugin.php solved it. (capitial M)

So it would seem that the file and class name need to match exactly.

Indeed they do. :) Here are the full specs on where to use which casing... – Lindsey D Oct 08 '14 at 23:34

Make sure that the name of your plugin directory is all lowercase:

/craft/plugins/myplugin

On some systems, the capitalization doesn't matter, but on other systems it makes a difference. (related)

Turns out it was the class name. I've posted that below. – Henry Oct 08 '14 at 23:30

for me was the file

vendor/craftcms/plugins.php

it was referencing a wrong class name due to refactor error (plugin development)
