    Hi,

    I am trying to install ModX Revolution on my server, which is based on Parallels Plesk Version 9.5.2. However, when I try to install ModX Revolution, the following error is output:

    "FATAL ERROR: MODx Setup cannot continue.

    MODx requires the PHP JSON extension! You’re PHP configuration at version 5.1.6 does not appear to have this extension enabled. This should be a standard extension on PHP 5.2+; it is available as a PECL extension in 5.1."

    I have unchecked the Safe Mode in PHP as I read that it solved the problem, but it hasn’t solved it for me.

    Anyone encountered this problem and solved it?

      You need JSON support. 5.1.6 is a particularly buggy release. I highly recommend upgrading to 5.3.3 or whatever is the latest.

        if I remember well, with EvoGallery I had a similar problem, where json was involved but found a tutorial to patch it up.

        There is no way I could edit the code of Revolution?
