    Hi, my problem with "FATAL ERROR: MODx Setup cannot continue. Make sure your PHP session configuration is valid and working." was solved with the change php version from 5.2 up to 5.3. It's actually not a solution for everybody but certainly trail.

      I'm having this session problem on a Dreamhost server running PHP 5.3.13 while trying to install Revo 2.2.6. I've opened a support ticket with Dreamhost. We'll see what they say.
