Hi guys,

I am having problems installing a fresh copy of Revo 2.1.2... The issue I am getting is allowing MODx setup to connect to the DB to create the default admin user - The server connections work fine, but then the collation and character set selections do not work - I have tried loads but it always says "Checking database: MODX could not create your database. Please manually create your database and then try again."

Any ideas? I already have the DB setup with all access privileges granted to the user????

Seems odd to me...

Check core/config/config.inc.php. Make sure the charset there matches the DB and the dbname and db user and db user’s password (not the Admin password for MODX) are correct. Also, double-check the name of the database and user -- hosts often add a prefix.

Thanks Bob - twas a mistake on the DB details - the DB name was incorrect - yet was connecting OK according to the on screen prompt during installation... Odd! Fixed now // cheers for your thoughts.
