    I am having problems getting modx installed.

    I am using FreeBSD 6.4-RELEASE-p8, with MySql 5.5. The unzip works great, I go through the setup and everything is green check marks, at the bottom of the screen I click to create the database, then about 20 seconds later I get a 500 Internal server error.

    I have set all permissions to 777 and still had the same issue.

    PHP timeout is set to 180 so it's not that. What next?

          Should I try a different version? I am continuing to try different options of installing this, every time it fails to a 500 Error.
