    hello
    I’m unable to do a fresh install of the latest SVN files - although the config.inc.php file is in place and writeable, I’m always getting the following:

    Checking if core/config/config.inc.php exists and is writable: Failed!

    For new Linux/Unix installs, please create a blank file named config.inc.php in your MODx core config/ directory with permissions set to be writable by PHP.

    What’s your advice?

    Thanks

      This happens for me too on svn 2.0 branch upping to r6985, looks like the addition of is_writable2 in r6932 is failing for some reason.
        Use MODx, or the cat gets it!

        This has been fixed; the check was checking the directory core/config, rather than the file core/config/config.inc.php.

        A fix was committed earlier today. Thanks!
