    Hello, people!
    I try to install MODX Revolution 2.2.8 to some Windows (PHP and MySQL installed), but at final step, when pressed last "Install" button... some errors occurred.

    Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: Permission denied in D:\Users\tigerpvr-1\tigerpvr-31\WWWRoot\core\model\smarty\sysplugins\smarty_internal_write_file.php on line 28

    And under the MODX logo some errors too:

    Could you help me, please?

      Should be a simple matter of making sure the user running the PHP process has permission to write to the proper locations, especially within the core/cache/ directory.

        Thank you! But how may I check it on Windows? On a Linux hosting, I know, we need to set 0777 permissions to some folders via a FTP-client. But how do I grant 777 (rw) permission in shared windows hosting? There isn't chmod() command, as I know...

          You would need to have the hosting provider check the permissions, if the control panel lacks the ability to update permissions. If this is your server, then you would use RDC to manually check the permissions on server (or whatever method you use to access the system).

          Thanks,
