follow the electric wire that connects to the gas valve, it meets up with another wire via a plug & socket type fitting, you may have disturbed it when you were trying to light the pilot.

check that its pushed together properly.

It has to be something simple, although I'm surprised the gas valve doesn't click.

That could be sticking valve or electrical.
