Error after installing modx revolution (modRequest::initialize())

    Hi there!

    First off, my setup:
    PHP5, Apache2.2, MySQL 5.0, WIN XP SP3

    While installing MODx Revolution, there were no visible problems (everything was fine when toggling the error and success messages). Every folder is writable, no SQL errors, no errors in Apache-logs.

    When i tried to get into the manager, i got a blank screen presented. The error in my apache error-log was as following:

    [Tue Oct 14 14:04:55 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined method modRequest::initialize() in D:\\_root\\opensource\\modx-2.0.0-alpha\\manager\\index.php on line 77, referer: http://localhost/opensource/modx-2.0.0-alpha/manager/

    I noticed the double backslashes, which are weird. Any clue why this is happening? I’v got various other open- and closesource CMS’s/frameworks running in my current setup, so i don’t see why this wouldn’t work!

    Thanks!

    Peter

      Do you have STRICT mod enabled in MySQL? See this thread.

        mysql> SELECT @@global.sql_mode;
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| @@global.sql_mode                                              |
+----------------------------------------------------------------+
| STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION |

1 row in set (0.00 sec)

        Yup, it is. If i can recall correctly, there’s an installed framework that required strict-mode. ModX won’t run when SQL is on strict-mode?

          Not at this time when it’s still in alpha phase. There is an Jira ticket for it what you can follow (MODX-321).
