I am installing modx for first time and I have this problem:
Comprobando que el directorio assets/images es escribible: ¡Fallo!
And the this directory is with these permissions
drwxrwxr-x 3 root apache 4096 sep 22 17:21 cache
drwxr-xr-x 2 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 docs
drwxrwxr-x 2 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 export
drwxr-xr-x 2 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 files
drwxr-xr-x 2 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 flash
drwxrwxrwx 2 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 images
drwxr-xr-x 2 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 import
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root apache 70 feb 24 2007 index.html
drwxr-xr-x 3 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 js
drwxr-xr-x 2 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 media
drwxr-xr-x 3 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 modules
drwxr-xr-x 5 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 plugins
drwxr-xr-x 2 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 site
drwxr-xr-x 9 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 snippets
drwxr-xr-x 6 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 templates
and your files have this permissions
[root@mama images]# ls -la
total 24
drwxrwxrwx 2 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 .
drwxr-xr-x 16 root apache 4096 jul 30 16:17 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 root apache 70 nov 17 2005 index.html
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root apache 8577 jun 11 16:21 logo.png
How to solve this error?
Thanks you, from Chile.

The problem might be that root shouldn’t be the owner.. try setting the images folder to be owned by apache using the chown command.
cache, export, files, flash and media should be writable too.
Some translations of the installer don’t say that correctly and leave you thindking only images should be writable...

If root is your owner u are going to have big problems.
It effects uploading files, ftp etc...
Apache (or any other user for that matter) cannot modify files/dirs.

Change the owner of those directories to be "apache" using the "chown" command. Do you have command line access? SSH? It might be best to have someone else look at your server, especially if you’re not familiar with the command line.
