    We intended to install MODx Revolution 2.0.0 rc2, but after successfully installation all we got is blank manager screen and empty server response. Server characteristic listed below. I read the whole forum, but nothing was helpful, neither 775 or 777 permission for files and directories nor empty config file. Also, we tried to install regular add advanced version with same result.

    Problem looks very similar to this issue: http://svn.modxcms.com/jira/browse/MODX-2014. Is it going to be fixed soon?

      getting a similar issue. chrome gives me: "Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): Unknown error."

      i did a couple test installs this morning. if i login immediately after the install everything was fine, but if you don’t login then, or if you go back to (...)/manager there’s nothing.

        So whats the news? no posts in 45 days? no input from admins or moderators? i’ve installed and I have the same anomalies... If I click the login immediately after the install I can make it to manager, but never can get back to it... i even was able to view source and i see all the sourcecode in /manager/index.php but when I look at the page its a blank white page. Sometimes I can’t even get to the manager... I was really hoping this would be user friendly but it seems there is a issue here that im not able to wrap my head around...

        any input? I am designing a new project for a client and really wanted to give modx a whirl but if its not going to go soon I am probably going to revert to HTML...

          Sorry about the trouble you’re having.

          See if anything here helps:

          or here:

          http://bobsguides.com/modx-installation-faq.html


          The most common causes of this are memory_limit set too low and/or a timeout during the setup process.
          On some servers, you might have to set memory_limit to 64M or more.

          It’s a tough problem to solve because none of the MODx developers have been able to duplicate it except in low-memory conditions -- even after testing on a wide variety of platforms.
