To keep things clean set it up on a completely separate database. If your current install is on a hosted/live server, you could install the sample website on a local server, such as on your own computer using Wampserver (on Windows) or MAMP (on Mac). Is this what you're asking? mary Ali

The home page is already in the files that you upload, if you look in the extracted package there's a file index.php, this is the file we're loading. What version of MODx are you uploading? Have you made sure you've extracted and uploaded all the files? Does you server that you're uploading to run PHP? mary Ren

After putting the contents of the Modx package on a remote server, the next step suggests that going to a project url or (the server url where the folders are to be uploaded) will instigate an install screen. I am not clear on why/how this is supposed to happen. There is nothing at the project url yet (we haven't created a home page) and when I go to the server address with my files (e.g. Modx unzipped folder and other project folders), I am simply able to view the contents on the server. Thanks for clarifying this step. R Reading your Modx tutorial for newbies and I am stuck at Install.

I had to login to myPHPadmin, create a database (i called it my_modx) and added myself as a user with full permissions. Once I did this and went back to the modx install and entered the database, user name, and password it worked fine. I’m on a Mac using MAMP and I was unable to get modx to create the database.
