      Can you give us some more environment information, such as:

      - PHP Version
      - MySQL version
      - is pdo_mysql enabled
      - apache version

        If you were able to chmod on Windows XP with XAMPP, you might have bigger problems than installing MODx.

        But seriously, post information about your version of XAMPP, and make sure you have the PDO and PDO_mysql extensions enabled properly.

          You shouldn’t have any permission problems on XP unless you’ve manually made anything read-only.

          I suspect a bad download. Since it’s a new install, I’d try deleting everything and checking out a new copy. In my experience, that’s fixed problems like yours at least nine out of ten times.

            Guys, thanks a lot for the support smiley

            xampp version : 1.6.6a

            @OpenGeek : the power of cygwin wink

            extension=php_pdo.dll
            extension=php_pdo_mysql.dll

              xampp version : 1.6.6a

              What version of MySQL/PHP is on that XAMPP install?

                  If I’m not mistaken, lots of folks had problems running all kinds of software on that version; I believe it has something to do with the MySQL client API or the PDO_mysql drivers. In any case, I bet you are getting Apache segfaults when the install tries to execute; can you confirm this? Check your Apache error_log.

                    OK, I uninstalled XAMPP, re-installed the new.
                    XAMPP version: 1.7.0
                    PHP Version 5.2.8
                    mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.1.30, for Win32 (ia32)

                    Made sure I’m on the latest revision (on the revolution branch).

                    browse to: http://localhost/modx_rev/revolution/ - got 503 (site unavilable)
                    browse to: http://localhost/modx_rev/revolution/setup - redirected to http://localhost/modx_rev/revolution/setup/index.php?s=set , all looks good.
                    hit: "Select".
                    hit: "Next".
                    Auto-Selected: "New Installation" and "Files are already in-place". hit: "Next".
                    Filled the values, tested the db connection: all good. hit: "Next".
                    Values are automatically filled, all correct paths. hit: "Next".
                    Installation Summary - All is marked green OK. hit: "Install".
                    Script process for two seconds, than a blank screen is showed.

                    Nothing on apache error.log

                    All tables were created on the database. All tables are empty.

                    it seems as if there is a die(); somewhere in the script...

                      There is however one thing different.
                      Now when I try to "upgrade" or hit refresh on the ?install page, i get the following apache fault:

                      ---------------------------
                      apache.exe - Application Error
                      ---------------------------
                      The instruction at "0x0193250a" referenced memory at "0x00000000". The memory could not be "read".

                      ideas anyone ?
