    ERROR MESSAGE AFTER LOGGING IN (just after install process)
    My installation process ends successfully but after logged in it ends with this message:

    MODX Evolution 1.0.5 Tightens Security and Lots of Little Improvements
    A Long Time Coming But Evolution 1.0.5 is Here.

    It’s been more than 6 months since Evolution 1.0.4 was released and many people are making the move to Revolution but we are committed to continue building on and refining our beloved Evolution and making sure it is as safe and easy as ever. Due to a number of imporant security improvements we consider upgrading to Evolution 1.0.5 mandatory.

    Some highlights of this release include:
    Security Enhancements�ongoing work to make sure your sites are safe from malicious attackers, including a workaround for a major PHP security bug that could crash servers running outdated versions of PHP
    Manager Bugfixes and Enhancements�Over 20 improvments to the Manager to make it behave more consistently and predictably
    Custom TVs and Widgets�Site builders can now define the HTML markup and behavior of TVs for truly custom TV behavior by inserting code directly into Input or Output widgets or using the @F...

      Your error has nothing at all to do with 1.0.5 (Evolution); that’s from Revolution 2.0.x

        @sottwell: I think OP just copy and pasted the news feed output...

        If you uploaded the files via FTP, most likely all of them did not get transferred or got corrupted during transfer. Try re-uploading or creating a zip to upload and extract directly on the server.

          yes I noticed this error had nothing to do with the Evolution 1.0.5.

          Anyway... tried to ftp into a different hosting, still Windows 2008 IIS 7.5
          but have the same message, wonder if it is a quirk of not being compatible with Windows servers.

          Any suggestion?

          thank you guys. Am actually fascinated by the enthusiastic efforts in this ptoject,
          would really like to move my web business (am a web designer) onto Modx!!

            I reinstalled all transferring all files through a different and better
            FTP and controlling it before, but this time the installation stops after
            the database connection control. The control is successfull BUT when it comes to
            ""Create or test selection of your database."" nothing happens, the Javascript
            action does not start so even after pressing the link many times nothing happens!

            Why this? I am using Mozilla Firefox last version 3.6.13

            I tried several character sets but no results gotten UHH! sad

              Tried with different browser and worked (opera) and reached the
              Pre Installation Test which was successful. received full successful installation messages too, afterwards.

              But then received this message!

              Invalid URL

              The URL http://eyes4u.net{mgr_url} contains characters that are not valid in the location they are found.
              The reason for the problem may be a mistyped URL, but the URL may also be an attempt to trick you into visiting a website which you might mistake for a site you trust.
