    I’m trying a new installation of ModX. Not only do I get really odd errors saying that folders such as assets/flash are not writeable (amongst others). I have to set the error folders (cache, flash, media, images etc) to premissions 777 before it will allow me to continue. I have never had to do this before on a 1.02 ModX installation.

    Finally when it gets to the final part of the installation I get this error;

    Install results

    Setup will now attempt to setup the database:

    Creating connection to the database: OK!

    Selecting database `shanest00_stunts`: OK!

    Checking table prefix `modx_`: OK!

    Creating database tables: OK!

    Writing configuration file: OK!

    Chunks:

    You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ’SELECT (CASE COUNT(*) WHEN 0 THEN 0 ELSE `id` END) `id` FROM `s

    This is driving me up the wall!
