    Hi all,
    I am trying to install modx 1.0.5 in to a web host and I get the following error during the installation.

    My Basic configurations

    MySQL Server version: 5.0.92-community
    MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8)
    MySQL client version: 5.0.92
    PHP Version 5.3.1 (http://violac.net/phpinfo.php)
    Apache version 2.2.15



    Install results
    Setup will now attempt to setup the database:
    Creating connection to the database: OK!
    Selecting database `violacne_modx`: OK!

    Creating database tables: Database Alerts!
    MODx setup couldn’t install/alter some tables inside the selected database.

    The following errors had occurred during installation

    Some tables were not updated. This might be due to previous modifications.

      Any chance the database user doesn’t have a complete set of permissions?

          Why does the query have the single quote delimiters escaped? Those are not in the .sql file itself and there is nothing in the sqlParser.class.php script to add them.

          What happens if you import the setup.sql file directly through phpMyAdmin or a command line?

            I have no idea how escaped character appears there. Those queries were generated by modx setup itself. sad
            contents of setup.sql are working fine with phpMyAdmin.

            Is this a PHP bug or something?

              do you have the magic_quotes_gpc turned on?
              never mind, just saw your php info.

                  looks like you have the ’--enable-magic-quotes’ on your php’s default settings.
                  try to copy your php.ini into the install folder before running the installation.

                    My site is hosted in a shared host. So how do I get ’--enable-magic-quotes’ to my site? I have a php.ini file under /public_html and it contains

                    safe_mode = Off
                    register_globals = off
                    magic_quotes_gpc = off
                    max_execution_time = 120

                    so what should i do?
