Modx on Xampp

    Pretty new to Modx and have to say looks great....

    Dropped the install on to local Xampp server, but having problems with it defaulting to port 85 ie http://localhost:85/ as the base address.  I have got it working by changing port in Xampp/Apache http.conf file ie listen port 85 ....but I don’t like the mystery. I have confirmed port 80 is free...

    I am sure that this is something really basic and wondered if anyone could throw me a bone....

      Whats your $_SERVER[’SERVER_PORT’] from /manager/includes/config.inc.php line 42, it looks as though this is set to 85 for some reason
        Use MODx, or the cat gets it!

          Fixed up httpd.conf and re-installed and all works fine....

          Hey this is really powerful and better than hacking Wordpress like it says on the box smiley

            Yes, you’ll get to like MODx, I seem to remember now something about XAMPP and port 85 from the past, but no matter, glad its fixed.
