ModX won't install on LAMP

Posted on June 12, 2013

I’ve installed LAMP, configured PHPmyAdmin and uploaded ModX CMS files to my droplet (http://modx.com) and tried to install it. First error was with the time zone. But i fixed it in php.ini Then the rest come. It always says, that directory is not writeble… so for a test, I’ve set ll the directories permissions to 777. But still on the last step, I have an error, that ModX can’t unpack a .zip file with it’s contents even when permissions on that .zip and all the dircctories are 777. Any ideas, how to fix this? Thanks.

No success for me trying to install the latest 2.2.12 version. Getting the 503 error. First i got it cause of the simple reason that modx requires a empty writable config.inc.php file. So when adding that, the 503 message dissapeared from /, but then trying to run /setup it came back. Thats where i am right now and seem to be a little stuck. <br> <br>I have added a timezone into the htaccess file as well. Ill be back if i can sort it.

i’m using modx too so i hope modx can running well in here

But still it doesn’t work properly. Just doesn’t want to
