Installation issues - permissions related?

I can't seem to install, either basic or advanced. The errors I get are here : http://pastebin.com/vbViEAR6

modx-2.2.4-pl

Server requirements are all met I think, except possibly ImageMagick.

PDO test code from http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Troubleshooting+Installation#TroubleshootingInstallation-PDOErrorMessages does not fail

PHP info : http://bytebackgroup.com/bb5/info.php

MySQL
----------
Server: Localhost via UNIX socket
Server version: 5.0.96-community-log
Protocol version: 10
MySQL charset: UTF-8 Unicode (utf8 )

Web server
----------------
Apache
MySQL client version: 5.0.90
PHP extension: mysqli

If I uncheck the tick box to delete the setup afterwards, it will install, but then after logging in, the right hand pane is blank for every menu item, except selecting a resource from the left hand pane. See http://imgur.com/a/JnwGf

Can anyone offer any suggestions? Thanks in advance. [ed. note: npd_uk last edited this post 14 years, 3 months ago.]

Hello,

It looks like your server is configured to make use of APC which prohibits the use of suPHP. I suspect your issues are related to the hosting environment, and the error messages seam to confirm this. You need to make sure files/folders have the correct permissions for the environment configuration - 666/777 in this case. If something can't be accessed make sure it has the right permissions. Don't blindly change everything to those permissions.

If your site isn't high traffic you could consider disabling APC and switching to suPHP as that may be a more reliable configuration for a small site.

I hope that helps some.
