Unable to run a simple install script

Question

I am trying to follow This tutorial, somewhat unsuccessfully!

I have got to the point where my script should display "Running This Upgrade: Myname_Weblog_Model_Resource_Setup Exit for now". This does not happen.

I believe it is something to do with my config file but looking though it I cannot work out what is wrong.

I have put a die statement into the setup.php file and that killed the script as expected. I then removed the die statement from setup.php and placed it into mysql4-install-0.1.0.php, this had no effect and the script continued on to render data from my controller.

I have added the code which I have been looking at to try and find the solution (as well as the full folder structure, hopefully its clear enough), could someone please advise me where the problem is or where else I should be looking to resolve this issue.

dont put die()!, just look at the logs and post here the error. do you have all the requirements? — Elzo Valugi
Does the core_resource contain an entry for weblog_setup? If so, delete it and try again. — Jürgen Thelen
It did, I have deleted and the information is still rendering, my cache is disabled, so its not that either — tony09uk

checkout forweblog_setup in core_resoruce table, if your resource(weblog_setup) is present in this table than your installer will not run, what you can do is make an backup of your core_resource and delete its entry for weblog_setup OR else you can try to write an upgrade script.
