Answered Installation Succeeds - No modx.site.content table created?

Morning chaps,

Seeing as my provider has hit a wall and I've been unable to locate anything similar here thought I would open it up and ask if anyone has come across this little nugget? Any assistance I can pass on to them would be appreciated.

Description of Problem:
Building an intranet site and upon installation all appears well bar the table 'modx.site.content' isn't created therefore I am unable to add content to the site. I can create templates etc, just not documents.

Steps to Reproduce:
My provider has replicated the error externally and we think it is down to the charset element of the install being blank

• MODX Version: MODX Revolution 2.2.7-pl (traditional)
• PHP Version: 5.3.25
• Database (MySQL, SQL Server, etc) Version: MySQL 5.6.11
• Additional Server Info: Windows 2008 R2 Standard Addition Service Pack 1
• Installed MODX Add-ons: None, yet, not got that far
• Error Log Contents: (attach as file if it’s too large)

Whole error log reports therefore trimmed to show the last section

[2013-05-28 17:09:07] (ERROR @ /manager/index.php) Error 42S02 executing statement:
Array
(
[0] => 42S02
[1] => 1146
[2] => Table 'modx.modx_site_content' doesn't exist
)

Did you create the database before installing?

Morning,

Thank you for the response, checked with the provider whom has responded with,

"MODX install would not create Db so
created manually using MySql and then MODX
installed OK"

Therein lies the issue?

For MODx to create database for tables, the mysql connection user needs to have db creation privileges. This is rarely seen with shared hosting plans (if I presume right) and the DB needs to be created manually before install of any php app really.

It's on a dedicated in-house server so there are should be no issues with it being shared hosting. I have purchased a server and configuration as per the specs through my providers whom have also installed the relevant MySQL; PHP and then loaded ModX. Evidently they came upon an issue with the database, created it and then progressed and whereas it does say completed successfully it appears not to have.

I'm pretty sure it's a case of not being able to see the wood for the trees (as the saying goes) and will revert your comment about db creation privileges although all other tables appear to have been created which would suggest that isn't the issue?

Thanks both, appreciated.

Will look to bug the item and also see if 2.2.6 installs with better luck.

Many thanks, passed to provider to resolve.
Much appreciated.
