    {
        public function paymenter($Observer)
        {
             $order = $Observer->getEvent();
             Mage::log($order->getName(),null,'event.log',true);
        }
    }
?>

log not created.

Share any debug tool for magento?

Answer 1

Finally done restart my wamp server and also clear & flush cache.

Answer 2

People report your code to work correctly on their installations, so the issue obviously is specific to your setup or magento project's code base.

https://justpaste.it/7l2ka proves that your observer class isn't being parsed as php would fail with a syntax error doing so. For magento backend development I rely on magerun. It provides all kind of useful commands you should make yourself familiar with.

For a start I'd make sure that your module and observers show up with n98-magerun.phar config:dump modules and n98-magerun.phar dev:module:observer:list.

Answer 3

The observer code you shared in https://justpaste.it/7l2ka contains a die() which will break execution due to Fatal error (unexpected 'die' (T_EXIT))

    <?php
class Gta_FindPaymentGateway_Model_Observer
{
public function paymenter($Observer)
{
$order = $Observer->getEvent();
Mage::log($order->getName(), null,'event.log',true);
}
die(); // !!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS THIS STILL IN YOUR CODE ??? If yes remove it
}
?>

Answer 4

I have created module same as yours, Please check the below code.

app\code\local\Gta\FindPaymentGateway\etc\config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
  <modules>
    <Gta_FindPaymentGateway>
      <version>1.0.0</version>
    </Gta_FindPaymentGateway>
  </modules>
  <global>
    <models>
      <findpaymentgateway>
        <class>Gta_FindPaymentGateway_Model</class>
        <resourceModel>findpaymentgateway_mysql4</resourceModel>
      </findpaymentgateway>
    </models>
    <events>
      <sales_order_place_before> <!-- identifier of the event we want to catch -->
        <observers>
          <sales_order_place_before_handler> <!-- identifier of the event handler -->
            <type>singleton</type> <!-- class method call type; valid are model, object and singleton -->
            <class>findpaymentgateway/observer</class> <!-- observers class alias -->
            <method>paymenter</method>  <!-- observer's method to be called -->
            <args></args> <!-- additional arguments passed to observer -->
          </sales_order_place_before_handler>
        </observers>
      </sales_order_place_before>
    </events>
  </global>
</config> 

app\code\local\Gta\FindPaymentGateway\Model\Observer.php

<?php
class Gta_FindPaymentGateway_Model_Observer
{

    public function paymenter(Varien_Event_Observer $observer)
    {
        $event = $observer->getEvent();
        Mage::log($event->getName(),null,'event.log');
    }

}

Logfile created in var/log/event.log and print the sales_order_place_before, check the below screenshot.

Hope this will work for you.

Kindly run php bin/magento setup:upgrade command and then php bin/magento s:s:d command then it should work fine. or you may refer to this question https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52081048/magento-1-9-magelog-isnt-creating-the-log-files
