The fact that your ignition light is not working points to the problem. It could be as simple as the bulb is not working because this is part of the charging system.
Other than that are all the wires connected to the battery and also check the small wire that connects to the alternator.
There isn't much to the charging circuit.
so check in order.
1 fuses
2 terminals and wiring to battery including good earth.
3 bulb on ignition
4 wires onto alternator.
