    Hi,

    I am trying to create a brand new install using MODx Revolution 2.0.1-pl traditional but although I can connect to my database ok when I test the database server connection I can’t seem to get the ’create or test the selection of your database’ link to work. I have tried it in both IE and Firefox but when I click on the link nothing happens! Is this a bug and has anyone else had any problems with this?

      Note: If you’re posting about a bug, please state all of your Environment information in your post: Version of MODx, Traditional or Advanced distribution (for Revo), Server OS, Server Version, PHP Version, MySQL Version (client and server), is pdo_mysql installed, your Browser type and version, if you are using any opcode caching such as eAccelerator, APC, winCache, xCache, etc; any relevant errors in core/cache/logs/error.log, and any other environment data we should know. We can’t help you without that information.

      Also, if you’re on shared hosting, don’t use an underscore _ in the database name.

        Unfortunately, the underscore is put in by default in MySQL.

          modx_modx is fine; if you’re using shared hosting, make sure it’s not something like modx_my_modx.

            I don’t think the problem is anything to do with the underscore as the database connection was fine. My problem is that I am unable to get any further with the install as the link for the next section doesn’t work and the button on the right just says ’back’.
