    Hi all,
    i'm trying to install modx 2.2.5pl at XS4ALL. After running the setup i end up with a white screen. Also /manager is a white screen. I notice several paths in the config files like
    /usr/local/WWW/A/.52a6/v/myname/htdocs/core/

    phpinfo() however says the DOCUMENT_ROOT is
    /usr/local/WWW/A/v/myname/htdocs/core/

    notice the .52a6 is lacking.

    changing the config files to /usr/local/WWW/A/v/myname/htdocs/core/ does not help.

    1) has anyone EVER succesfully installed MODX at XS4ALL.nl ? i read about more problems in the forum with xs4all. and i've tried several times in the past 2 years with no luck

    2) does anyone understand what this path thing is? and how to fix it

    tnx
    Rdg
    • What if you change the document root in php.ini? Or can you?

        mmmmh,

        if i can find the php.ini, what would i put in it?
        • The following is from my php.ini which seems to be fully commented - I ran a search for "root" and these sections showed up. Yours will either be above, or at the public_html level on your server (less likely). You may not have access to it directly but perhaps through a php config script in your server control panel. If you can't find that, the host customer service should be able to help you.

          ; You can download a copy of the PHP manual from http://www.php.net/docs.php
          ; and change docref_root to the base URL of your local copy including the

          • Sorry, I hit post too soon and stepped away (darn kids!). I meant to say to check to see if your host has these set in your php.ini. I don't know if changing them or adding the above will solve the path problem but since you're getting two different paths, perhaps there is a clue in your php.ini.
