install in webroot - tomcat /manager prob

hello,

first a big thankyou for all the efforts which made this possible:))

i have a problem regarding the install of both 1.0.1 or 1.0.2 which i can’t get around -
(all is unix/linux on local and remote server, browser is firefox 3.0.15 and 3.5.5)

1) assuming i want modx to be installed plain in my webroot, i did
a)
installed from the extracted archive remaining in its folder, say ’server/path/modx-1.0.1/’
the installation (and upgrade afterwards) wents fine:)

b)
if i move the content of the installation to the webroot, say ’server/path/assets/’, ’server/path/manager/’,
’server/path/install/’ (...) and start the installation from there it hangs with a javascript-error at entering
’Server connection and login information’:

Error: window.addEvent is not a function
Source File: http://server.de/install/connection.js
Line: 1

if i continue on a) and move the data _after_ the installation i can’t get in the manager anymore, only getting
a ’file not found at http://server.de/manager/ ’ - not a 404 - by the server...

any ideas on that?

well- to answer that question myself...

after evaluating that _everything_ (files/permissions/...) are correct and that i could
adress /somedir/manager/ but not /manager/.. i finally asked my provider
and voilà: the prob results out of (their implementation/conf) of apache tomcat!

the url ’/manager’ is reserved for tomcat!

that might interest the one or other...

[edit]
this prob had been noticed before:

but: before i didn’t know that my provider was using tomcat
and therefore did not search for it...
