zeroge,
I think what mrhaw is saying is that we’re going to need more information about your environment before we can proceed. If you want help, you need to provide accurate information about your server and environment, otherwise it’s going to be nearly impossible to diagnose your problem.
And the reason that MODx may or may not be having issues with your server might very well be because your server is misconfigured. It might also be an oversight with servers like yours in the code in MODx Evolution. Either way, we cannot figure out which it is without you providing that information about your server.
Please remember these people here volunteer their time to help you (and that MODx is free software). We really do want to help, but we need more information to do so.
Thanks,
Shaun

The installer doesn’t create any folders for you.

Sounds your FTP client didn’t upload them for some reason best known to FTP clients when they do that. Happens to me fairly regularly when my ISP is being unreliable (unfortunately more often than one would hope for). Your assets folder should have all of the folders that 1.0.2 has.
As far as the release being complete, I’ve been using it regularly for some time; it’s on my own server, two or three installations on my local iBook development machine, plus I’m now upgrading one or two supported sites every weekend. Trust me, it’s complete. Take a look in your local unzipped folder. Maybe the zip was corrupted? Maybe something accidentally deleted the folders?

I install Evolution 1.0.3 and in the assets folders i have the folders
cache
export
files
flash
media
images
plus the files index.html
The folders in red I had to create during installation because they were "missing"
Now I’m confused... do the folders in question (as well as all the rest of them) actually exist on the server or not? Or is it a matter of some permissions settings that don’t allow them to be read?

Did you check the permissions? Perhaps your client is set to maintain the permissions from the archive, and these may not be compatible with your system’s requirements.
I just did a fresh install on a remote server and found no problems, using these steps :
- went to server and setup database and user with utf8-general-ci collation
- downloaded zip file
- extracted contents to a local directory
- using FileZilla, uploaded it to a server folder
(total transfers : 1574)
- renamed ht.access in root and manager/includes to .htaccess
- edited root .htaccess to have correct path in "Rewrite"
- renamed sample-robots.txt to robots.txt
- browsed to site/install and installed
(*DID* install sample site/data)
- before logging in as admin, checked permissions on config.inc.php
in manager (were set to 600)
- before logging in as admin, renamed install folder to install_original
I did not see anything out of the ordinary when looking at the sample installation. Nor did I get any installation error messages. I don’t believe I have any customized settings in my FileZilla install.
FWIW,

Just to let you know,
on all my installations (at least from 1.0.0 and up) I have both config.inc.php.blank and config_check.inc.php
Glad to see you solved your issue.
