    Setup has carried out a number of checks to see if everything’s ready to start the setup.

    Checking PHP version: OK!

    Checking if sessions are properly configured: OK!

    Checking if assets/cache directory exists: OK!

    Checking if assets/cache directory is writable: Failed!

    Checking if assets/cache/siteCache.idx.php file is writable: Failed!

    Checking if assets/cache/sitePublishing.idx.php file is writable: Failed!

    Checking if assets/images directory is writable: Failed!

    Checking if assets/export directory exists: OK!

    Checking if assets/export directory is writable: Failed!

    Checking if manager/includes/config.inc.php exists and is writable: Failed!

    For new Linux/Unix installs, please create a blank file named config.inc.php in the manager/includes/ directory with file permissions set to 777. (???)

    Creating connection to the database: OK!

    Checking table prefix `ModX`: OK!

    I need help, please!!!

      The files colored as RED needs to be CHMOD 0777.

      In your FTP client, right click on file name and select CHMOD, tick all the boxes available on next screen, repeat this on remaining files (the RED ones).

      Hope it helps.

      regards,

      • In my client, I select the file/files (or ctl-click), select Properties, then set the access in a grid. So YMMV.

          Setting the permissions of a folder or file can be done with most FTP applications.
          you should be able to get info on a file or folder and then modify its permission properties


          READ WRITE EXECUTE
          User: [ ] [ ] [ ]
          Group: [ ] [ ] [ ]
          World: [ ] [ ] [ ]

          to set permissions to 777 means that all three groups (user, group, and world) have read, write, and execute privilages. Make sure your file settings have all 9 boxes checked, like this:

          READ WRITE EXECUTE
          User: [√] [√] [√]
          Group: [√] [√] [√]
          World: [√] [√] [√]

          later

            Hello everyone, and thank you for your replies.
            It seems, unfortunately, that my client does not work like any of the one’s you have mentioned... or I am failing to see where I must perform this task .

            I have gone where you all have indicated, but neither come up.
            I am running a OSX ver. 10.4.6.

            Please help!
            Thank you.

              I am no Mac user but I have heard of Transmit (please Mac users confirm here)

              Any FTP Client should allow you to CHMOD !
              What are you using ?
