Hi there,
I am trying to install MODX at a new host server but are getting this prevalidation notice:
Pre-install validation
Setup has carried out a number of checks to see if everything’s ready to start the setup.
Checking PHP version: OK!
Checking if sessions are properly configured: OK!
Checking if assets/cache directory exists: OK!
Checking if assets/cache directory is writable: Failed!
Checking if assets/cache/siteCache.idx.php file is writable: Failed!
Checking if assets/cache/sitePublishing.idx.php file is writable: Failed!
Checking if assets/images directory exists: OK!
Checking if assets/images directory is writable: Failed!
Checking if assets/export directory exists: OK!
Checking if assets/export directory is writable: Failed!
Checking if manager/includes/config.inc.php exists and is writable: Failed!
For new Linux/Unix installs, please create a blank file named config.inc.php in the manager/includes/ directory with file permissions set to 0666.
Creating connection to the database: OK!
Checking table prefix `modx_`: OK!
Can some help me with instruction about what to do to solve the issue? I guess I have to write some code in the config.ic.php file, but what precissly.
Thanks a lot.

If you are on a Linux/*NIX server you need to change permissions on the folders assets/cache and assets/images and their contents. You also need to do as it said and create an empty config.inc.php file that is writable in the manager/includes folder.
If you are on a Windows/IIS server, please post to
the Windows/IIS forum.
