Magento扩展没有出现在后端

Question

What's wrong? ##

Recently I tried out an extension on my test environment of magento 1.9.2 It was a succesful installation with magento connect.

The extension worked perfectly.

so I tried it out on my real environment but the extension / module doesn't work and won't show up in my modules tab ( system - configuration - advanced ). so I can't enable or disable it.

the files have been places in the right folder ( app - code - community ) So far I tried

1. reinstalling the extension
2. logging in and out
3. flushing the cache
4. re-indexing the website

But sadly it did not seem to work on my real environment.

What extension?

this is about the "Catalog Search Refinement FREE" extension.

The extension has no panel since all this extension does is change the way magento searches for products.

I am new to magento, so I might not know much and I've read a lot but I can't find what I'm doing wrong.

So okay I found out Magento wasn't deleting my cache properly, after hours and hours of searching for errors, editing lines of code it was simply running on my cache all the time. Even after flushing the cache and reindexing my website countless times I wondered if my cache was being deleted correctly. Since I kept getting the same advice from other people to flush my cache I wondered if it was being flushed correctly. so I went to var/cache and saw that even after flushing my cache these files remained.

So I deleted all the folders in var/cache , flushed the magento cache and storage, after that I logged out and in on my Magento back-end and I noticed directly that the extension was working as it should.
