Install MODx 2.0.0 R... gives blank page

Hi,
I´m trying to install the MR version but, I get a blank page, I followed the info and have
triple check everything in the yellow box on this page
http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/Fresh+Installation

Except no: 4.

This is a fresh install

Any suggestions to get this working?

1. So I’m assuming you tried the advanced version?
2. Is this your server info: Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) PHP/5.2.5 MySQL 4.1.22-standard ?
3. Is this alpha-2 you’re trying?
4. Is there anything in your core/cache directory?
5. Is there a core/cache/error.log, and what does it say?

2. Is this your server info: Apache/2.2.9 (Unix) PHP/5.2.5 MySQL 4.1.22-standard ?
Yes

3. Is this alpha-2 you’re trying?
yes

4. Is there anything in your core/cache directory?
Just one index.html file.

5. Is there a core/cache/error.log, and what does it say?
Not one I can find but in cPanel I get this info:

Mon Jul 14 16:24:01 2008] [error] [client 157.157.81.121] PHP Fatal error: require_once() [<a href=’function.require’>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required ’./includes/protect.inc.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/mysite/public_html/index.php on line 59, referer: http://mydomain.com/manager/frames/index.php?a=1&f=menu

This is your problem. You need to make sure the core/cache dir is writable. It should have stuff in it.

The core/cache dir is writable (777) I double checked everything in that yellow box before I even tried to install.

Dear all,

In Japan, we experienced same trouble.

Is php of your server the safe mode?

Installer of MODx 2.0 make folder under the /core/.../....
But in the case of the safe mode, folder’s owner is apache. And permission is 705( or 604).
In this state, installer can not create directory/files under the /core/.../.
Installation is not completed in this state.

My server can change owner to me from apache.
Can you do this ? If it can do, you could install.

OR:
Can you change php mode to CGI mode ?
If it can do so, you also could install.

Don’t use the advanced if you do not have root access to your machine. Use the traditional package (not advanced, and not sdk).

Thank you MEGU, yes I should have this accesses but, I have to run, when I am
back later today/night I will figure this out and report my experiences.

Thank you for reply to me.

No, I did not use advenced version. I used the following:
http://wtf.modxcms.com/downloads/?relPath=core > "modx-2.0.0-alpha-2.zip (333 downloads)".

Not gone yet

I have the very same version which I DL last night.
