Fresh SVN beta 5, Install TinyMCE, can't log back on manager

I did a fresh SVN beta-5 installation on CentOS 5.3 (php 5.2.9, mysql 5.0.77). The ModX installation went fine, no problems, except the login button at the end of the installation doesn’t, I have to close the browser and manually re-open the /manager/ url.

Anyway, manager is fine, got the usual warnings about 404 & other pages don’t exist. Opened Package Manager and install TinyMCE. At least I thought so, the consloe window hung at ’grabbing package’ although above that line was ’successfully installed ...’. Back to package manager screen which shows TinyMCE is there.

Close browser, reopen back to /manager/ and nothing but a black screen. httpd error logs showing ’Failed opening required ..../core/components/tinymce/tinymce.class.php’. No wonder, core/components/ directory doesn’t exist. Did I miss a step in the fresh installation docs?

I manually created core/components/ and gave it write permissions, but how do I get back to the manager screen now? Something is stuck trying to require_once a non-existent file.

TinyMCE’s installation definitely needs some work. I’ll look into it next week.

To disable it, you need to go into the modx_site_plugins table, find the TinyMCE row, and set disabled to 1. That’ll work.

Thanks for the info! I just made the change and the manager popped right back on.

Are there any permission settings that aren’t listed on the installation check screen? That’s what I’ve followed to set permissions, but it looks like some permissions for plugins may not be listed in the installer.

[Edit]: Oops, I spoke to soon. I entered the user/password and then was presented with an empty web page. I’m off to wander through more log files

I have this problem as well with tinyMCE although setting disabled to 1 doesn’t solve the problem.

I’m running

Apache version 2.0.63
PHP version 5.2.9
MySQL version 5.0.85-community
cPanel Version 11.25.0-RELEASE
CentOS 5.3

Do you want a JIRA ticket?

Did you read the other thread regarding this:

Its not SVN but probably will solve your issue.
