    Hello!

    I have got a strange problem installing MODx:

    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 exists: OK!

    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!

    Of course, i have checked the suitable file permissions. all mentioned directories and files are set to 777.
    I have also renamed the ht.acces to .htaccess in the root-directory and in /manager.

    I doubt I haven’t got enough permissions on the server though the admin says I got full permissions.

    Is there a little script out there that tests my server and gives me some kind of output to solve my problem?

    Thanks!

      From what I can see you have not created the following

      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.

        Sorry, it exists and is chmod 777.

        I triple checked it via sftp in bash, a graphical FTP program and a Webinterface my hoster provides.
