I selected all options on the page. The next page The last screen said :
"
Pre-install validation
Setup has carried out a number of checks to see if everything's ready to start the setup."
Everything was fine on this page.
The final page said
"Writing configuration file: FAILED!" and as previously mentioned it asked me to copy and paste in a config.inc.php file
and similar to the user on a mac which I posted a link earlier in this thread the only option is to close the page
"
Once that's been done, you can log into MODx Admin by pointing your browser at YourSiteName.com/manager/."
However nothing changes as my homepage still says "
Could not load DBAPI class."
and my manager page says "
Could not load DBAPI class."
Can anyone help?
