Joomla 'component not found' install error

I made a component that was working find on my local machine but when I tried to put it on live site it gives me '404 - An error has occurred. Component not found' error that doesn't seem to go away. I have tried everythin开发者_C百科g from installing from different admins to putting the files directly to server but nothing works. I even tried installing it on another joomla site but that doesn't help either. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

I was stuck on this since morning and finally got the solution. This might be of help... The component name was com_ABCdef and it worked on local like that however when I installed in to site it became all small letters and was calling for option=com_abcdef and my installation files file ABCdef.xml and ABCdef.php and changing those to lower case solved my problem.

how are you doing it ?

• Do you have the xml install file ?

• name convention? i think name should always be com_componentName

• have you placed it in the component directory ?
