Unzip on the server, by default, converts file names to lowercase.

FYI. It is not always easy being open source!
I host on Linux at 1and1.
1and1's web space explorer works with IE, and claims to run on firefox (but it doesn't), and no Chrome?
My biggest problem is having to talk to Windows, with which I want no truck!]]> davidryman Mar 05, 2014, 05:21 PM https://forums.modx.com/thread/89454/second-setup-not-starting#dis-post-491882 <![CDATA[Re: second setup not starting]]> https://forums.modx.com/thread/89454/second-setup-not-starting#dis-post-492068
I would strongly recommend using PHP 5.3+ as there are performance, MAJOR security benefits, and scripts such as MODX tend to work a little better. That being said the 1&1 environment has been known to have issues running MODX in the past due to resource usage restrictions. It's possible to get things working, but will be an uphill battle.

If you aren't set on your current hosting provider I would suggest exploring some more MODX friendly options.]]> AMDbuilder Mar 08, 2014, 03:38 AM https://forums.modx.com/thread/89454/second-setup-not-starting#dis-post-492068
