    Hi there,

    I’ve got the unpleasant task to install a CMS into a pretty bad maintained and restricted webspace. The web related packages are all at least 2 years old. Well, the modx installation went smooth. Only the security/update rss feeds does not load (I removed them from the config) and it says that GD and ZIP are not installed.

    I asked the technical administrator for updates: "They are planned, but not scheduled yet". So, I have to squeeze any cms into a working state. In the best case modx.

    My main problem now is a non working index.php. It just prints a blank page without any errors.
    I found several old posts relating this problem in the forums. But the workarounds aren’t working in 1.0.3 (because the mentioned snippets does not exist anymore) or it was said that the problem is resolved in the 9.6.x versions.

    Facts:
    modx 1.0.3
    System:
    FreeBSD t3srv.med.uni-rostock.de 5.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE #0: Mon Mar 28 20:05:30 CEST 2005 [email protected]:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/T3 i386

    Apache/2.0.63 (Unix) DAV/2 PHP/4.4.8 mod_ssl/2.0.63 OpenSSL/0.9.8h

    Notice: i couldn’t rename the ht.access into .htaccess because of access limitions. I have to use WebDav for the installation process :|

    Any Ideas?

      Have you tried disabling all plugins and removing all snippets from your template/content? In other words, get rid of all extra code and just try a simple template with some simple content.

        Hmm strange, I was sure that I’ve checked also the minimal template: It’s the example template "MODx Host" and example content like the Blog which is not working.

        Thank you. It’s working now.
