    The installation just stops, no errors... I’ve copied some details below.
    The database is made up front, empty.
    Is there a SQL script to build the database?

      The two likeliest possibilities are:

      1. You’re short of memory (check the value of memory_limit in phpInfo() ). See http://bobsguides.com/modx-installation-faq.html

      2. One or more MODx files were corrupted in transfer.

        Problem solved. I did a new download, unzipped the files, changed my VERY OLD ftp-client with another one, and uploaded the files again - and VOILA: I had a new site up and running! Corrupt files during first upload...

        Thanks
