MODx Revo Beta 5 - installation problem

Hello,

I tried to install the latest released beta 5 of MODx Revo but having problems with the MySQL setup part:

We have configured a new empty webspace on our server! All setup requirements are fulfilled.
We created a new empty database and a corresponding user

1) choose new installation
2) entered the correct values (database host, login-name, password)
3) Test database server connection and view collations. Connecting to mysql server: Success!
4) Connection character set: utf8, Collation: utf8_general_ci (as in our database setup)
5) Clicking on "Create or test selection of your database" - and nothing happens - not even an error message

Also tried other collation and character set values but without success!
MODx default is latin1, latin1_swedish_ci - but also doesn’t work.

Am I doing somethin wrong or is there a problem with the setup routine?

[UPDATE]: If I choose a database name where the database doesn’t exist the installer shows this error message:
Checking database:MODx could not create your database. Please manually create your database and then try again.

Greetings,
Martin

Does the DB user have full rights to the DB? That’s the only think I can think of.

The database specific user has all rights. We also tried to run the setup with an admin user. No success :-(
Now we did run a Wordpress setup with the same database values - runs without any problem.

3. If you’re posting about a bug, please state all of your Environment information in your post: Server OS, Server Version, PHP Version, MySQL Version, is pdo_mysql installed, your Browser type and version, and any other environment data we should know.

We’ll need this before we can help.

OK - sorry - here are the informations:

http://www.bitego.com/test.php

Browser: Safari 4.04
OS: OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.2

Well, for one - magic_quotes_gpc - turn that off.

You may also want to look at the php streams: zip, php, file, data, http, ftp, compress.zlib, https, ftps
You only have zip

Also, you may need to adjust your execution time to 120 and memory limit to 128M per the install directions

mod_secure may be desirable for apache

Did you set the permissions on your site_root folder as well as the others in the docs?
