Can't install MODx Evolution 1.0.0

Well, the setup is two steps. You first put in the information it’s asking for then the installer will reveal input boxes for the db name, prefix etc. once it’s verified you have permission. I’m sure it has something to do with the hostname. Once you get that sorted you should be fine.

You need to input "localhost" for hostname if your DB resides on the same server as the installation files.

Ok, the issue was solved.

The following files:
/install/

connection.servertest.php
connection.collation.php
--> $_POST = $_REQUEST;

+ in JS
var ajx = new Ajax (url, { postBody: pars, update: $(’serverstatus’), onComplete: setColor, method:"get" } );
ajx.request();
-----------
and another issue:
in btn next is a link (url) - not a form submit. it’s not a good ideea.

Please file a report for this in JIRA.
