0.9.6 install error: Checking table prefix `modx_`: Failed! - Table prefix is al

This is still a problem for me. (Although the original poster found a workaround.)

For a new install, I get the error "Checking table prefix ``: Failed! - Table prefix does not exist in this database!" even though my prefix is null (no characters typed into the prefix field.)

I tried the fix posted above (add = sign to line 152 of action.summary.php.) but I’m still getting the error.

Any other ideas?

it may be significant to mention that my database name has an underscore as dictated by my ISP.

for example: database name: bob_cms

I tried using the New Installation option rather than Advanced Upgrade Install and it works just fine.

Nice catch ublix -- this is being committed for 0.9.6.1 release... http://modxcms.com/bugs/task/894

Did you see the exact same error in line 161?
I have been messing around the this install for a long time now, and finally found this forum.
I corrected the error in line 152... and it still didn’t work.
Then I saw that there was one "=" missing as well in line 161... did you see that?

Thanks for your support so far; i too had the table prefix error. However, since i have fixed the error on given line in the settings file; another error occurred. After clicking the -install- button, a new screen appears displaying various tasks . It stops with the reported creation of the database tables, but mySQL doesn’t display any tables present in the given db.

any suggestions?
thanks

btw - I just need the vericode / capcha snippet.. know where I can find it?
Thanks

OT, but:

\manager\includes\veriword.php

If you just "include" that file in a snippet, it will put the vericode on the screen and put the string to check user input against in a _SESSION variable.

I’m pretty sure you can also turn vericode on with an eForm snippet parameter and have it all work automagically but I’ve never done it.
