    Hey Comunity,

    I hope this is the right place to post this.

    I just downloaded the ’MODx Revolution 2.0.0-pl’ and during the install it wouldnt go past the ’create test DB’ as shown below.

    **Update**
    I just updated ’ext-core.js’ from the ’advanced’ install, with no luck.


    Thanks
    Sam

      Before we can help, we’ll need this:

      Note: If you’re posting about a bug, please state all of your Environment information in your post: Version of MODx, Traditional or Advanced distribution (for Revo), Server OS, Server Version, PHP Version, MySQL Version (client and server), is pdo_mysql installed, your Browser type and version, if you are using any opcode caching such as eAccelerator, APC, winCache, xCache, etc; any relevant errors in core/cache/logs/error.log, and any other environment data we should know. We can’t help you without that information.

        Will try and get as much info:

        MOdX: MODx Revolution 2.0.0-pl

        Server
        MySQL version: 5.0.89-community
        Operating system: Linux
        PHP version: 5.2.11

        Browsers Used:
        Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.12) Gecko/20100824 Firefox/3.5.12 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)
        IE: 8.0.6001.18943

        Hope thats enough info.


        UPDATE:
        I have just uploaded the Modx CMS to another server - exactly the same issue.


        I then decided to configue the DB manually but i was unable to check any other radio buttons





        I managed to get past the ’create/test database’ button by, firstly pushing ’test conection’





        Then entering DB login details and hitting enter.





        But as the DB conection/setup part was bypassed it couldnt complete installation.





        Really frustrating for what normally would be a simple exercise.

        Reminder: has been tested on 2 different servers.

        Thoughts??


        Cheers
        Sam

          Do you have hosting system there - DirectAdmin, cPanel, etc?

          I assume when you created DB you could see its content through phpMyAdmin?

          What version of php and mysql had this second server?

          I can give you test account of you want to check elsewhere.

            Hey Modx-ers,

            Just a quick note to say i have resolved my issue.
            Needed to add ’user_’ to the db name.

            During the settup:

            localhost
            DB user : ftpuser
            DB Pass : ftppass

            test connection: passed

            default
            DB name: modx
            DB prefex: _modx

            needed to be
            DB name: ftpuser_modx

            test create DB: accepted

            Thanks for your help.
            Sam
