    Hi,

    i’ve upload the install folder and followed the steps, after i pressed finish button i got some errors but it was too fast to catch ’em and it went back to the manager.

    now when i click over modx resource wizard in modules im getting this error in frame:
    Warning: Unknown(/public_html/assets/modules/wizard/wizard.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /public_html/manager/processors/execute_module.processor.php(95) : eval()'d code on line 8
    Fatal error: (null)() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/public_html/assets/modules/wizard/wizard.class.php' (include_path='/public_html/manager/includes/') in /public_html/manager/processors/execute_module.processor.php(95) : eval()'d code on line 8


    do i have to install it manually?

      download 2.1.0 attached to that post, then upload the file mrw.php to the root of your MODx installation and navigate to it in your browser.

          I keep getting an error on the attached zip, says its empty.

          I used a code from this forum, and pasted into a file i called mrw.php.
          Now I get this message:Can’t connect to local MySQL server through socket ’/tmp/mysql.sock’ (2)

          Might be because the file i copy/pasted is not the origanal one:
          <?php

            did you try downloading from here [ http://piratemachine.org/software/modxresourcewizard.html ]?

            It may be SMF that is causing problems for you, but I have a feeling it is your PC or your zip utility.  The download at my pirateMachine website is not archived. It allows you to directly download the PHP file.

                  MySQL Support enabled
                  Active Persistent Links  0 
                  Active Links  0 
                  Client API version  5.0.21 
                  MYSQL_MODULE_TYPE  external 
                  MYSQL_SOCKET  /tmp/mysql.sock

                    No, it wouldn’t. Was just wondering why it couldn’t connect using the socket.

                      just found this:

                      A MySQL client on Unix can connect to the mysqld server in two different ways: 
                      1 By using a Unix socket file to connect through a file in the filesystem (default /tmp/mysql.sock),
                      2 or by using TCP/IP, which connects through a port number.

                      A Unix socket file connection is faster than TCP/IP, but can be used only when connecting to a server on the same computer.
                      this sounds like I need the latter solution over tcp/ip. This sounds correct to you?

                      my zipper is 7-zip, should be okay?
