    is something wrong with this setup?

    php 5.2.14
    database 5.0.77

    max_execution_time = 30
    memory_limit = 128M

    we tried an adjustment through .htaccess with command: php_value max_execution_time 120

    didn’t work either

    we think we have all the necessary directories writable
    can not find instructions in basic installation for this, nor for the config.inc.php requirement

    don’t know what to do now to get it working

    the weather (rain) allows just now for long modx-ing and trying out Revolution...
    what a pity it doesn’t work

      You’re saying running setup/ results a blank page? Initially, or after clicking ’install’?

      Are you 100% sure the core/cache/ directory is writable?

      And you read this: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Basic+Installation ?

        Thanks for responding

        Yes, running setup/ results initially in a blank page.
        ’install’ never shows

        Absolutely 100% sure the core/cache/ directory is writable, even have the core-dir itself writable
        makes no difference

        And Yes have read this: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Basic+Installation !
        more than once

        only thing is safe_mode which at this provider is on, but that never was an issue we have a full 1.0.4 Evolution production-site running on the same system
        maybe safe_mode is an issue for Revolution?

        am totally lost

            if I understand your rather cryptic answer correctly,
            we can forget about Revolution with this provider as they are not prepared the turn the safe mode off.

            if the link you provided is a solution to that; could you please expand on it, I do not understand what is meant

            also I cannot believe we are the only users with this problem?

            thanks for responding anyway

                I get the point; no Revo for this customer who insists -for whatever reason- to stick with this provider.
                As we have to respect that we’ll archive Revo untill the day comes and do with Evo, which is fine BTW.

                In general calling people ’lousy’ gives a poor base for negotiations.
                Certainly about issues they’re insecure about and that challenges their technical ability.
                Most of us tend to go on the safe (..!..) side...

                So with Revo it is like with the iPhone4; the nerds have decided we should head this way, and they are right no doubt,
                except the real world slowly tags along and they are not prepared to recognize that as a fact of life and allow for it.
                It’s the others that have to change...

                Which is true and must be, but that realisticly does take time.

                  Did you click the link I gave you? huh
                  Not being able to turn off safe_mode is lousy hosting.
                  And it isn’t safe ( ! )

                  Have a nice day!

                    I know & agree!

                    just stating that you need to negotiate to make’m see it our way, that is real life, no matter how nice my day is.

                    and calling them names upfront is just not clever nor mature.

                    thanks for responding BTW, you are right, but it is not the way to achieve anything

                      It wasn’t my intention to insult you. smiley
                      I posted that link which explained the statement and
                      recommended to you, from the bottom of my heart, EVOLUTION
                      ...on that lousy host.

                      I did not call you lousy, and I am not a big fan of Apple.
