register_globals

hi,

good news about the hoster (actually, you know, try it on your local dev server if you want, it's just a line to change in the php.ini file and a reboot ) and honestly no server would now be configured with the reg globals set to on, futhermore they are set to off by default in php5.3 which is the minimum requirement for revo

now, coming to the 500 error with the manager, that's funny, normally the manager is excluded from the root htaccess rules
in evo, it's in the root htaccess

in revo, if you use the root one, just use the manager one too which basically just says

if you haven't errors on your website you should'nt have in the manager either

have you checked the server matches all revo requirements (php5.3 with pdo, xml and so on) ?

It appears I found the solution from another thread in the MODX Forum.

I had a php.ini file in the Manager directory with the line

register_globals=Off

which threw a PDO error.

But if I added these 2 lines it worked.

register_globals=Off
extension=pdo.so
extension=pdo_mysql.so

No 'Configuration Error' r_g warning. It all looks good. [crosses fingers]

Thanks for the help.

hi,

good news, the solution was php.ini then
if i were you, i would put the same file on the site root, not only the manager, it could be useful

I agree. That was the first thing I did.
