Blank manager Screen after installation

Hi There

After successfully installing Modx 9.6.3, The manager page is blank. I have viewed past threads on this but I am no wiser. I am not too technical no server issues but the info I can give you is that. I am running Php 5.16 and the PDO Driver for MySQL, client library version 5.0.22

Please Help!

You are installing 0.9.6.3? Or Revolution 2.0-beta-1?

Try upgrading your memory_limit to 64M.

Hi splittingred

Its 0.9.6.3. The memory_limit is 32m. I will try to increase it to 64m once I find out how to do it with ssh from my hostiong support.

Then you’re in the wrong forum. I’ll move this topic to a more appropriate forum.

Thanks, I’m new to this!

Still no luck with this.

I edited the php.ini to increase the memory but no luck. I still get a blank page even with display_errors set to on. Does anyone have any ideas? I would really like to get started with MODx.

0.9.6.3 requires the mysql extension (not PDO_mysql). Make sure this is available. Otherwise, without more information, it’s gonna be hard to determine why you are getting a blank manager page. Make sure everything got uploaded properly and installation completes normally.

Thanks for Replying Opengeek

How do I determine whether the mysql extension is available? Would it be indicated on the php ini file? It seemed to install correctly. The default homepage is there but nothing for /manager even with display_errors on. I wish there was a way for me to get more information. I am really eager to get in working in MODx. I even bought the book "MODx Web Development" (Packt) in anticipation.

So any help you can give I am appreciative of.

Thanks

If it installed, and you can see the default home page, then you’ve got mysql. I’ve installed 0.9.6.3 with a default memory setting of 8mb with no problems, so I doubt that’s your problem either.

Try uploading the manager folder again; some files may have gotten corrupted the first time.

Thanks for your help guys.

I did a completely new installation and it worked! I did a lot of messing about with the permissions and the config.inc file previously and perhaps the files did corrupted.
