Some simple questions

OK thanks. Here is what I have done:

Started fresh and uploaded:
manager
core
setup
connectors
the few files to the root directory

moved core to /usr/local/modxrevolution

Set all write permissions as per doco and setup the config file in the core/cache directory

Edited all config.core.php files

Edited my local httpd.include file to allow /usr/local/modxrevolution in my open_basedir restriction

Ran the setup and all went smoothly.

All green ticks.

Database setup correctly (I assume - it has 54 tables in it)

Completes setup and get the option to go to the manager.

Manager reports in a big red box:

503 Error
Site temporarily unavailable.

Everything else on the domain is still working. Other php files on the domain still work correctly.

Tried on another computer that has never been on the domain and it also gets the 503 error - so it can’t be a cookie or cache issue.

php v 5.2.0-8
linux
apache 2.0
mysql 5.0.32
safe mode off
memory_limit 120M
max_execution_time 120

Suggestions?

php v 5.2.0-8

Seriously? I would suggest using a recent release of PHP 5.2. 5.2.0 almost certainly will contain bugs that will cause problems. Otherwise, I’m not sure what to tell you; sounds like you did everything correctly. Are there PHP errors being logged to your Apache error_log or any in the core/cache/logs/error.log file?

cache/logs/ directory contains 1 file
install.config.2009-09-17T10:44:22

has amongst other things errors like this:

What would cause this?

The connectors directory is 777 - should that be recursive? ie should all directories within connectors also be 777? I don’t recall doing this (recursive 777) on my original install that worked with the core in the httpdocs directory.

That version of php worked fine when I installed the first time and ended up with the core in the httpdocs area. I went through to manager and could do stuff, no problems. Build Date May 1 2009 10:13:14 so it isn’t that old.

Those install errors mean nothing unless you are doing an install using the advanced package.

If it worked fine when you installed with the core in the httpdocs dir, it should work when you move the core and alter the config.core.php files as BobRay suggested, without taking any other action (you don’t need to install again at that point).

Thanks.

All working. Help was much appreciated.
