These two files fail the write check on the pre-install validation page:
Checking if assets/cache/siteCache.idx.php file is writable: FAILED!
Checking if assets/cache/sitePublishing.idx.php file is writable: FAILED!
Here’s a list of the files showing their permissions:
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 9 2008-12-05 01:43 siteCache.idx.php
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 29 2008-12-05 01:43 sitePublishing.idx.php
Any ideas on why they will not verify??
I’m not sure but does that have anything to do with PHP’s safe mode restriction ?
I think that depending on how php is set up those need to be 777 to pass the test.
Check the perms on the cache directory, this will need to o+rw if its owned by root.
Use MODx, or the cat gets it!
No luck. I’ve tried setting everything to rw as well as 777. Also changing owner and group to the web user www-data. Still no luck. I turned on safe mode in the php.ini file, no luck. Any other ideas?

I generally have to run this for any install/upgrade (ran from modx root directory):
chmod 777 assets/cache assets/cache/siteCache.idx.php assets/cache/sitePublishing.idx.php assets/images assets/export
chmod 666 manager/includes/config.inc.php
And after the install:
rm -fR install
chmod 644 manager/includes/config.inc.php
Seems odd that with full permissions you’re still seeing the error...

Since MODx is accessing the file via Apace, will it be accessing the file via user nobody? Would a chown command fix things?
Permissions are one of those tricky things...
