Install Problem

When I click the link to "Test database server..." I get NO response if any sort, and the Apache error log shows nothing.

I have established proper access to MySql with...
"grant all on modx.* to grandbob@localhost identified by ’(my password)’;".

I have set access rights as per Wiki instructions.

I notice that the test link source is...
<a id="servertest" href="#">Test database server connection and view collations.</a>

Is that href ok?

What on earth (or Centos) is going on here?

Thank you.

Some particulars
-----------------------------------
CentOS release 5.5 (Final) (running)
PHP 5.1.6 (running)
MySql Ver 8.41 Distrib 5.0.77, for redhat-linux-gnu on i68 (running)
modx-1.0.3 (NOT RUNNING)

linking to # takes you to nowhere. (also used for templating).
you should replace it.

Have to add a ’me to’ to this problem.

No errors in logs, there is a java-script error when you double click on the fake link, about missing nulls but since I’m guessing this works for most people I doubt that the source of the problem.

Saw some messages about trying 127.0.0.1 rather than localhost as the hostname, but no go. Indeed I really think there something wrong with the logic at the test code, as clicking on the link, doesn’t really seem to trigger any event. No noticeable processing or network traffic is being generated, it might as well be a static image.

The previous message about the ’#’ as not a valid link and go edit it, is not exactly a comforting response, as this is the ’install’ procedure and the limited documentation does not talk about editing any of the files from the distribution by hand and this link, odd or not, is definitely part of the first user page of the install screens. Rather deeply buried at that.

Yes.

That’s a notoriously buggy release. Wouldn’t be surprised if that was it.

Which language do you use during installation?
