Modx manager menu failing

I just installed Modx and the installation process went fine, but after I logged in, you get to see a blank pages with a big list of links below eachothter (see attachment)

What can be causing this problem?

looks like style sheet isn't loading. Check the paths config file:

/core/config/config.inc.php

Make sure the paths to the manager in that file look correct.

You may need to turn off the javascript and css compression. You'll probably have to go into the database and edit the system_settings table. The settings are "compress_css" and "compress_js". You need to set those to 0.

Triple check all the URLs and paths in all your config files. It'd be good to check your server error logs too.

Just tried this, but that didn't work.

Also looking at the paths now, but as far as I can see there's nothing wrong with them

Be sure to delete all the files in the core/cache directory after making your changes.

You may also have a missing or corrupted file in your MODX install, especially if you used FTP to transfer the MODX files. See this for another method: http://bobsguides.com/modx-upgrade-faq.html. It's about upgrading, but see the section on transferring and installing the files.

At the moment I can't make any changes at all. All I did was performing the install and then I got the result that is shown on the screenshot. Clicking those links just brings up the same page.

I downloaded the latest version of modx and the install itself went fine, so there shouldn't be anything missing or corrupted.

It's still a mystery to me what the real problem is, when everything should be fine...

Have you tried uploading a fresh set of files as i've had problem before where everything seems to of uploaded fine but wasn't working. I then re download modx unzip and upload and get no issues.

Also worth doing as bob mentioned about manually deleting the files within core/cache folder.

Yes I have tried both and I'm reinstalling it for the ?x time now.

In the meantime I also tried to install it on another webhosting and there it just worked.

Have you searched the forums with regards to the host that it didn't work on. If nothing trying posting to see if anyone else has had issues with that host. Who are they?
