buggy installation on a Russian hosting

Hi,

I’m trying to get ModX 0.9.5 to run on Russian host zenon.net with the following specifications :

php version 4.4.4
mysql version 4.0.24-log (I wondered if that was too old a version, but couldn’t find a definite answer on this in the forums)
OS : FreeBSD

I use firefox (last version) and Windows XP

I managed to install easily, but when I log into the manager the page gets stucked and fails after a while : timeout. Meanwhile the address bar becomes : http://www.mysite.ru:3880/myfolder/manager

I don’t get why this 3880 port shows up huh

If I retype the address without that port number the manager opens.

Finally, when I type the site’s address in my browser, it waits for a really long time before finally loading the page. And the javascript seems to be deactivated because the quickedit content is entirely visible. When I check the source code, the base href is once again set with this unexpected 3880 port.

Any idea where that could come from ? I never experienced this on other hostings.

Thanks in advance.

i think your problem in the strange port 3880. maybe you site turn off by hosting-provider and you are working on test state ?

Thanks for the quick answer ! I will ask the provider. But the domain is active : the root folder contains plain html and css files that function normally. Could it be that the MySQL database is on test state ? Do you work with Zenon too ?

I’ve found a workaround. For some mysterious reason, installation was set on this strange 3830 port. I added the following after line 14 in config.inc :

$base_url = "http://domain.ru/myfolder/";
$base_path = "/folder/folder/folder/folder/www/myfolder/";
$site_url = "http://domain.ru/myfolder/";

And it works !!!
