    I have MODx Revolution 2.0.0-pl rev7212 installed on my FreeBSD web server running Apache 2.2.15 and MySQL 5.1.50.
    When i try to edit a chunk, MODx completely freezes with "[error] child died with signal 4" in the error.log. Creating new chunks, or editing snippets/tvs/templates are ok.

    Help! I couldn’t find the solution in Jira.

      - Traditional or Advanced distribution?
      - PHP Version?
      - Browser type and version?
      - Are you using any opcode caching such as eAccelerator, APC, winCache, xCache, etc?
      - Any relevant errors in core/cache/logs/error.log
      - Any other environment data we should know?

        Traditional distribution
        PHP 5.2.13
        Freezes in all browsers (modx kills apache process!)
        No caching software
        No errors in modx log

        I have installed modx on my local machine under Mac OS X running the same version of Apache and MySQL, but PHP 5.3. Chunks were editable there. The problem started after I transferred it on the web server.

          If you have TinyMCE running try disabling and see if this enables access to your chunks - if it does you need to specify in your system settings to use None for editing elements.

            Disabling tinyMCE solved the problem.
            But this is a significant bug, that even kills httpd! I hope it will be fixed in next release.
