You have definitely a problem in your snippet that makes modx stumble when the document.parser tries to parse the document, because your snippet probably tries to pass something to the parser it cannot digest.

It seems something is trying to call shell_exec, which is turned off on your server. Is your snippet using that?

Your PHP configuration doesn’t allow the ’shell_exec()’ function. This is one of the functions disabled when PHP is run in Safe Mode.

I got this fro a google search, I guess it means that your server is running in safe-mode.

So basically you have a snippet or a plugin that is using the shell_exec() function on its line 9, but your PHP is configured to run in safe_mode, so you can’t do that.

oké

I will try to put the safe-mode off via htaccess (to much c’s or s’s) and look if it works than.
