    I can not install on Modx openserver. After installing the CMS can not connect to the north of the database
    MODx "Unable to connect to the database server. Check the connection to the database server and try again."

    How to solve this problem? Where and how to create such a database? This is how I panimayu must be something in MySQL to create.?

      The problem is not with a database. The problem is that it cannot connect to the database server, which it has to do before it can try to ask for a specific database. It's like not getting a dial tone on the telephone before you even try to dial a number.

      There are a number of reasons why it may not be able to connect to the server. Is the database server on the same machine as the web server (localhost), or is it on a different computer altogether? Is there actually a database server running? Does your domain have access to the database server?

        Thanks for the reply =)))
        I have no host. The whole setup is on my computer. Yes, my database is running phpAdmin and I have to access it. I was trying to establish a base there, but she did not stay through the install MODx.

            Open Server - a portable local WAMP / WNMP server in Russian
            It is very simple to operate and reliable enough. Even some banks are using them. If you know Russian, you can download + open-server_ru +

                Ah, right.

                I use WAMP http://www.wampserver.com/en/

                I don't know but it seems your database, mysql is not running. OR running on non-default port.

                  Ok, looking at its FAQ with the help of Google Translate, I can see this:

                  Address: open-server (or ip address of the server or any of the existing domain on your server)
                  Port: 3306
                  User: mysql
                  password: mysql

                  You need to use the database login name, database password from above in this picture: http://modx.nextmail.ru/3.gif

                  Hope this helps.
