hello,
I am trying to install modx locally. I have a website home page (with content)and additional pages (no content) on my computer already. I have downloaded 1.0.0 and placed the extracted folder in my root folder for the web site.
I open index.php and I get:
*{margin:0;padding:0} body{margin:50px;background:#eee;} .install{padding:10px;border:5px solid #f22;background:#f99;margin:0 auto;font:120%/1em serif;text-align:center;} p{ margin:20px 0; } a{font-size:200%;color:#f22;text-decoration:underline;margin-top: 30px;padding: 5px;}
MODx is not currently installed or the configuration file cannot be found.
Do you want to install now?
"; exit; } } // start session startCMSSession(); // initiate a new document parser include_once(MODX_MANAGER_PATH.'/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php'); $modx = new DocumentParser; $etomite = &$modx; // for backward compatibility // set some parser options $modx->minParserPasses = 1; // min number of parser recursive loops or passes $modx->maxParserPasses = 10; // max number of parser recursive loops or passes $modx->dumpSQL = false; $modx->dumpSnippets = false; // feed the parser the execution start time $modx->tstart = $tstart; // Debugging mode: $modx->stopOnNotice = false; // Don't show PHP errors to the public if(!isset($_SESSION['mgrValidated']) || !$_SESSION['mgrValidated']) { @ini_set("display_errors","0"); } // execute the parser if index.php was not included if (!MODX_API_MODE) { $modx->executeParser(); } ?>
Naturally I click on install now. Unfortunatly nothing happens. I tried first with FF 3.5.2 then Opera 9.64 and IE 6.
Opera is the only browser than even reacts to the install now link.
It displays the following:
You tried to access the address file://localhost/%22install/index.php/%22, which is currently unavailable. Please make sure that the Web address (URL) is correctly spelled and punctuated, then try reloading the page.
Have I forgoten to install some additional software with modx?
If you have any ideas on what I did wrong I would be happy to hear them.
Thanks
