    Good Morning,

    I'm attempting to install the standard Modx Revolution package on my CentOs5x development VM. When I navigate to http://localhost/modx/setup, I receive a message stating that the timezone in PHP.ini must be set. I did this but the setup screen, after refresh, still prompts me to set the timezone. Is there another step that must be taken to ensure that the new PHP.ini settings are put into place?

    Thanks,
    Sid

      Try deleting all files in the core/cache directory and clearing your browser cache and cookies.

        Hi,

        I did this and now am receiving Fatal Error Make sure your /var/www/html/modx/core/cache directory exists and is writable by the PHP process.

        I did chmod 777 /var/www/html/modx but this didn't fix the issue. What else should I attempt?

        Thanks,
        Sid

          First, make sure you didn't delete the core/cache directory itself. If so, create it again.

          Many hosts now require directories to be 755 rather than 777, so you might try that.

          Running Setup again might be a good idea if you still have the correct files around to restore the /setup directory.
