Hi all.

When i tested ModX on local server (Denwer) everything worked fine.

But when i try to install modx on the real server (my hoster use FreeBSD) the admin panel page doesn’t shown. It’s a blank page when I try open http://<mysite.com.ua>/manager.
Error log shows that index.php cant include another php files.

For example

[Thu Mar  4 02:03:42 2010] [error] PHP Warning:  include_once(config.inc.php) [<a href='function.include-once'>function.include-once</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/www/com.ua/<mysiteadress>/public_html/manager/index.php on line 133

Anybody installed modx on unix server?
Please, help.

I think all of the *nix installs I’ve done are of the Linux variety.
What PHP version are you running on your FreeBSD server?
Can you confirm that there is indeed a manager/includes/config.inc.php file?

As safe_mode is "on" on my hosting server, the function init_set doesn’t work.
That is why Modx doesn’t find the files.

What solution to solve this problem could u advise?

The only solution I have found so far is to declare path to the files manually. This solution i’m going to try now.

P.S. PHP version is 5.2.1
config.inc.php is in the include folder.

Do you have the option of turning safe_mode off?
