Modx 0.9.6.3 install errors

I have the backup files from a site on 0.9.6.3
I want to install on xampp then upgrade to revolution.

Installing 9.6.3 on xampp 1.7.7 i get a big list of errors - see attachment

Php 5.3.8
Apache 2.2
mysql 5.0.8

where do i start?

this happens at the end of the installation.

In your DB dump file try replacing all instances of :

with :

sorry i havent update the thread, i found that solution and it solved most of the issues.
I have 3 errors similar to this and one other.

Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes during the execution of SQL statement CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `modx_documentgroup_names` ( `id` int(10) NOT NULL auto_increment, `name` varchar(255) NOT NULL default '', `private_memgroup` tinyint DEFAULT 0 COMMENT 'determine whether the document group is private to manager users', `private_webgroup` tinyint DEFAULT 0 COMMENT 'determines whether the document is private to web users', PRIMARY KEY (`id`), UNIQUE KEY `name` (`name`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM COMMENT='Contains data used for access permissions.'.

Just a note, there is no direct path to move from Evo to Revo.

yes, thats my next issue to solve but one step at a time. my plan is to install 9.6.3 get my site working, upgrade to 1.05 then to revo. But thats a nother thread.

ok i think ill start another thread as the initial problem has been solved

OK i solved the issues installing 0.9.6.3, there are a lot of Deprecated functions in the code.

https://forums.modx.com/thread/?thread=60964.new%3Btopicsee&i=1&page=2 the last post on this thread is an easy solution for a newby.

Then there was a piece of code in browsercheck.inc
$client = & new phpSniff($GET_VARS['UA'],$sniffer_settings);

Need to remove the '&'

Then there was the 4 errors that start with:
'Specified key was too long; max key length is 1000 bytes'

I changed the collation from Uft8 to Latin1 as it take s 1/3 of the bytes.

Then there is a line of code 844 in document.parser.classic.ini that reads like this:
$tempSnippetParams= split($splitter, $tempSnippetParams);

need to be changed to this;
$tempSnippetParams= preg_split('/$splitter/', $tempSnippetParams);

I dont know how comprehensive these fixes are or if they will cause problems later on as im really very green and i dont really understand what i was changing.

good luck

You can also change all the split() functions to explode() without any problems.
