installation

Hi,

i am tring to install modx on my local sever, when i click test connection on the connection information page i get a never ending testing connection message..

i have php 5 installed correctly and MYSQL and i have created a new database in phpmyadmin, anyone know what the problem might be. sorry i am a total newbie

What distribution of PHP/MySQL are you using, and what version of MySQL? Thanks!

wow that was quick

i am using MySQL 5.0.18-nt, PHP Version 5.1.0RC1 and phpMyAdmin 2.7.0-pl2

i had a quick search and could not find anything i have already looked at the installation doc..

We’ve not tested with PHP 5.1 so it could be an issue there. I would try the 5.0.x series and see if that works (and if so, we have a place to start looking at PHP 5.1 fixes).

hi,

sorry modx does work with php5.1, mysql was not setup correctly
