    I'm pretty sure it's something in the cache file that's being distributed, but I could be wrong.

    I think Travis found some references in the code somewhere to etomiteCache.idx, which no longer exist. I'll double check this and report back.

    update: etomite.class.inc.php on lines 151 and 152 (found by Jason), should not be
    if(file_exists($this->getCachePath()."/etomiteCache.idx")) {
    include_once $this->getCachePath()."/etomiteCache.idx";

    they should be
    if(file_exists($this->getCachePath()."/siteCache.idx")) {
    include_once $this->getCachePath()."/siteCache.idx";

    ... right?

    You must have copied over an existing copy? We're no longer using etomite.class.inc.php! We are now using documentparser.class.inc.php.

    Please see the changelog and remove files that are no longer in use!

      I hope I'm not the only one who is confused. I am going to sit and wait until I hear word about a pre-release that is ready for our consumption. I'm not savvy enough to poke around and make manual changes to in-development code just yet.

        please delete the etomite.class.inc.php file. It should not have been there smiley

          Another install test failure:

          When doing a new install on a Linux/Apache server, it gets to the db page, and I have to change a few things because of permissions. It DESPERATELY needs a retry button at that point, but that's another issue.

          It said that the config file was not writable, even though it was, then the file was deleted when I tried again.

          Methinks there is some weird content checking going on in the file that belies a slightly off-base message about writable.

            Ok I'll look into this but for now see the index.php file it inside the buildSummaryScreen function. That's where I try to create a config.inc.php file if one does not exists. The install package does not come with any ocnfig.inc.php file this will allow users to copy up new manager code without over writting the config.inc.php file

              OK... more reports... had to create a blank file with a line of garbage text on it. When trying to install this time, got the following error:

              Creating connection to the database:OK!
              Selecting database `dbstoar`:OK!
              Checking table prefix `modx_`: Failed! - Table prefix is already in use in this database!

              Setup couldn't install into the selected database, as it already contains tables with the prefix you specified. Please choose a new table_prefix, and run Setup again.

              I know what's going on, just don't know how to fix it! laugh

                Installer is fixed for fresh installs now. Travis is busy reworking the Manager to add a new layout like his screenshots you may have seen around these parts, and probably the FCKeditor as well. HTMLarea and TinyMCE will probably get the boot in favor of something that works more reliably.

                For a quick ifix for new installs, immediately upon making a fresh install go to the manager > configuration, and just save your settings. The other bugs reported in this thread are resolved as well I think. laugh

                  FCKEditor can replace TinyMCE or it can be another option to the list. I think there are user who still use TinyMCE.

                  Also....

                  We need a new site template to distribute with the new package. And maybe some sample data site data as well. Can someone work on this please? A good looking sample site is very important!

                    Downloaded and installed yesterday. There is an error in the sql for creating the site_snippets table; the plugin field has been forgotten. This, of course, causes snippet creation or editing to fail. Otherwise, it's working great for me as my main local installation. Dropped in a new template and started playing with it. Very nice.

                    I did have one gripe about the installation. As usual, I copied the folders into my document root, and forgot to go change their ownership/permissions. But the file permission check wasn't done until the very end of the installation process, requiring starting the whole process over. That check should be the next thing after the option of new install/upgrade, or maybe even before that, immediately after the license screen. Even better would be a button for allowing a recheck, instead of just starting all over. Before, when each step was a separate page, you could just reload the page. I'm not real fond of the short window layout, either, but that's just a matter of taste, I suppose.

                    [later...]
                    Have found a number of typos; some files have a space in the => operator, like so: "value" = >$variable. It looks like it was a copy/paste operation; so far it's only been in this code dealing with various events:
                    array(
                        "id"	=> $id,
                        "children" = >$children
                    ));

                      Nice catches Susan. smiley

                      I've got a replacement SQL file that fixes new installs, too. I'll upload it here in just a second. Also, Raymond will be adding a few things and I'll post a new file set publicly.

                      Think you could fix that crazy behavior of having to start over completely if you make a goof or at least add a retry button on the permissions and database name pages?

                      UPDATE: Here's the revised setup.sql file
