    I’m working on the table_prefix issue on new installs in the development branch; could have sworn this was working, but anyway...(sigh) BTW, if you had upgraded from previous revisions, you would have not been affected.
    Ok, the problem with new installs not adding the table_prefix should now be fixed.

    Testing now....

      Works like a charm smiley....install completes and correct table prefix pre-pended. Thanks for the fix.

      The core/cache/logs still reports this error though
      [2009-08-19 23:57:37] (ERROR @ /setup/index.php) Error SQLER executing statement: 
Array
(
    [0] => SQLER
    [1] => 1146
    [2] => Table 'revosvn.modx_access_permissions' doesn't exist
)


      revosvn is the name of my test database, btw. Should I mark this as solved then?

      Now back, to work.

      cheers/k

        Great; please mark as resolved for beta-4 if you don’t mind. As for the SQLER, that’s not really an error, though it does indicate that Shaun didn’t add the new class he authored to the list of tables to create during install. But xPDO is smart and creates it since it doesn’t exist. The SQLER is just informing us that it didn’t exist when it was queried the first time, but it should immediately after that message appears.

          Ok, after a night’s sleep I exported from SVN and tried it again. Now the tables are being created with the modx_ prefix. However, the installer still won’t allow me to check the first box about the files being already unpacked, and it fails with the
          (ERROR @ /2.0-5681/setup/index.php) Package /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/2.0-5681/core/packages/core.transport.zip not found. SIG:

            Did you follow the pre-installation steps, like creating the core transport? You have to build this before you can install... see http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/Development+and+Testing+Notes

              er... no, I just presumed that since the beta 3 installed just fine that the export from SVN would likewise. <sigh> that’ll teach me not to be so presumptuous!

              Ok, on my elderly iBook, it took 27 seconds to build, and not much more to install successfully. Such a small thing to cause so much annoyance!

                My 7-step setup process:
                1. Create a database: CREATE DATABASE `revolution_5681` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
                1. Export from svn @ http://svn.modxcms.com:80/svn/tattoo/ (with login and password); root->tattoo->branches->2.0.
                2. Make a copy of _build/build.config.sample.php to _build/build.config.php.
                3. Edit the new build.config.php file to have the correct database connection information:

                // define the connection variables
                define(’XPDO_DSN’, ’mysql:host=localhost;dbname=revolution_5681;charset=utf8’);
                define(’XPDO_DB_USER’, ’root’);
                define(’XPDO_DB_PASS’, ’root’);
                define(’XPDO_TABLE_PREFIX’, ’revo_’);

                4. Open a terminal and cd to the _build directory: cd /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/2.0-5681/_build/
                5. Run the build script: php transport.core.php
                6. Load the setup in the browser: http://localhost/2.0-5681/setup
                7. Follow the setup instructions, filling in the required fields for database connection and admin user.

                      There is an error in the doc here

                      http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/modUser.changePassword

                      boolean changePassword (string $newPassword, string $oldPassword)

                      And you explain the inverse below:
                      //Change the password from 'boo123' to 'b33r4me'
$modx->changePassword('boo123','b33r4me');
