    Hello. I just found out about Modx and I was really amazed by its features so I installed it in my localhost to try it out.
    The installation was successful. The installation told me I can access the manager to edit and customize.
    However when I go to the manager’s page... It gives me the error :

    Fatal error: Cannot re-assign $this in c:\tlf\wamp\www\modx\manager\includes\document.parser.class.inc.php on line 675

    I am using wamp as my server with the following server configuration :
    Apache version : Apache/1.3.33 (Win32)
    PHP version : 5.1.0RC1
    MySQL version : 4.1.13a-nt - extension : mysqli

    Please help me make this work. I’m planning to use Modx for my website. Replies would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

      You really need a different version of PHP. 5.1.0, let alone an RC of 5.1, is full of bugs, rendering it quite impotent.

      In the meantime, you could try replacing line 675 of that file with this line to see if it avoids the error:
      $modx= & $this; $etomite= & $modx;


      Let me know if that helps or not.
