kanika: you need to provide more details regarding your environment before anyone can help you. I assume a version of IIS is the webserver since you posted in this forum? And your PHP version, MySQL details, etc.? Help us help you...

I solved the same problem. Just create manually (I used phpMyAdmin) MODx database in MySQL before installation:
= create special user for MODx (e.g. "modx"),
= assign password for new user,
= create database ("MODx") and give that user all privileges of this DB.

Then point the Installation at new DB data.

GL!

Hi,

The modx has finally been installed but freindly URLs are not working.

I have named my page to AboutUS
so the url should be something like that http://domain/AboutUS.html

In Tools->Configuration i set Freindly URLs to on and suffix to use HTML
but when i view my site.... it shows me page not found.

I have also modified htaccess file to

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

but still it is not working.

Is some other setting is required for IIS.

IIS does not process .htaccess files so to use the rewrite function you would need to install an extension such as ISAPI_Rewrite for IIS you then drop a httd.conf file in wwwroot and it will then rewrite the URLs.

You also need to edit the custom error pages 404 to /index.php this will work without the ISAPI Plugin but it will drop all data from forms.

Hope that helps

Can I use forms (Maxi Gallary administration pages, and eForm for contacts page) with Friendly URLs on Windows 2003 + PHP 5.2 ISAPI?

Does ModX supports IonicIsapiRewriter? I can install it for my site...

All this should not be a problem.
