First get it running on a local development environment, then get with your host to figure out what the heck is going on.

Could you reupload /install/index.php I can see from the view source page that you have added phpinfo to the first line of the file and deleted <?php which is causing the rest of the page to be rendered as text:

<phpinfo();
/**
* MODx Installer for 0.9.6.1
*/
// do a little bit of environment cleanup if possible
@ ini_set(’magic_quotes_runtime’, 0);
@ ini_set(’magic_quotes_sybase’, 0);
// start session
session_start();

// set error reporting
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE);

require_once("lang.php");

// session loop-back tester
if (!$_SESSION[’session_test’] && $_GET[’s’] != ’set’) {
$_SESSION[’session_test’] = 1;
$installBaseUrl = (!isset ($_SERVER[’HTTPS’]) || strtolower($_SERVER[’HTTPS’]) != ’on’) ? ’http://’ : ’https://’;
$installBaseUrl .= $_SERVER[’HTTP_HOST’];
if ($_SERVER[’SERVER_PORT’] != 80)
$installBaseUrl = str_replace(’:’ . $_SERVER[’SERVER_PORT’], ’’, $installBaseUrl); // remove port from HTTP_HOST
$installBaseUrl .= ($_SERVER[’SERVER_PORT’] == 80 || isset ($_SERVER[’HTTPS’]) || strtolower($_SERVER[’HTTPS’]) == ’on’) ? ’’ : ’:’ . $_SERVER[’SERVER_PORT’];
echo "<html><head><title>" . $_lang[’loading’] . "</title><script>window.location.href=’" . $installBaseUrl . $_SERVER[’PHP_SELF’] . "?action=language’;</script></head><body></body></html>";
exit;
}

$moduleName = "MODx";
$moduleVersion = "0.9.6.1";
$moduleSQLBaseFile = "setup.sql";

Let me know once the install.php has been reuploaded and I check the page again for you.

Thanks Aaron

Hey Aaron,

Sorry I’ve been on vacation for a couple of weeks.

I’ve reuploaded the install/index.php as it came with the download and haven’t changed anything.

Please let me know what I should do from here.

Carlos

Hope you had a good vacation.

There has been a few threads on this looping issue could you download the latest modx version which i beleive has the bug fix and reupload to your server and try again.

Let me know how you get on.

Thanks Aaron.

Ok I’ll give it ago fingers crossed LOL

same host www.powweb.com

I doubt it is a corrupted install file...

Its either to do with the above or problems on the server creating sessions.

Aaron

Hey Aaron,

Ive tried it on a localhost and it works perfectly. I think the problem is powweb.

Catch Ya Later
Carlos

Anyone object if I move this discussion to the hosting experiences topic then?
