There is a problem. Repeat all over you, but ended up with a menu: 3 points, whenI click on the 1st-OK, when I click on the 2nd and 3rd- the content opens in a new window. Swaps in an article in the menu is the same. Local server Xampp. Tried with and without .htaccess Thanks . Mary, i am very grateful to you. There is a problem.

I've never heard of or witnessed any server crashes with a modx install in the two years I've been using it. We may not be able to fix your problem. Or help you uncover what happened. But if a bunch of files on your server linked to a database are causing you server trouble I don't see how a paid product would be any better then something which is free? I'll repeat what Mary has said again in my own words: please tell us what's been going on and how modx caused you trouble.... as this just doesn't fit in with how most, if not all, modx users feel. Mitch – by all means tell us what has gone wrong in your case.

I have developed three sites using MODx and even though i haven't had ONE problem with doing so....i have actually moved on.......so should you? @mitch

Mary’s running this blog to help others, not take stick from someone who has obviously had a bad experience with an open source peice of software!

I have developed three sites using MODx and even though i haven’t had ONE problem with doing so….i have actually moved on…….so should you?

I knew that this would be shot right back. But maybe you should accuse the experts who maintain my servers. The worked 2 full days trying to find out wha causes the code of MODx to react the way it reacted. Maybe they accept your attack of trying to tell them they might have done somesthing wrong. BTW - your education is most welcome to tell me what I could have possibly done wrong when setting up MODx and I got a 100% success install. Is MODx fooling with it's notice as such, too. Or maybe it's again me. Maybe I simply fantasized and the install got trerribly wrong but I still claim a 100% success. Must be that! What a stupid fool I am, aren't I There is a reason why free things are free and YES - I moved on and am now paying for a CMS and all of a sudden I am not a fool anymore and things actually work really fine. I should wish YOU best of luck. You will need it! Hm. I knew that this would be shot right back. But maybe you should accuse the experts who maintain my servers.

I have never had MODx crash a server, MODx doesn't do anything on the server that I haven't told it to do, and it's easy as pie to get rid of if I want to. Perhaps you need to reexamine what went wrong in your setup. They're simply files, and as long as you have a logical structure to how you set things up on your server, you can get rid of anything you want, including the PHP, CSS, etc files that are MODx. If your experience with MODx has been less than optimal, I think the mature thing to do if you don't want to figure out what you're doing wrong is to move on and find another CMS that will work for you, rather than ranting and generally making an idiot of yourself. Constructive criticism with examples and intelligent questions is always welcome, and I will be happy to respond, but posting a comment like this on someone's personal blog really accomplishes nothing other than making you sound like you tried and failed and are now bitter about it all. I use MODx CMS alongside other CMSs, I have no vested interest in MODx or any other CMS, I simply use what works for me and my clients, and MODx does. There are a lot of other free and enterprise CMSs out there... move on, and best of luck. mary Mitch

You may but continue to use MODx and wait for MODx to mess you really up by crashing your servers to such an extend that you have to entirely clean out the server, loos any and everything on it because MODX believes it should be immortal and nest itself in your server root and you just can't get rid of it. You can't delete it! HAHAHA, the POWER of MODX! sot us 3 solid days around the clock to get rid of MODX, (lucky we saved the servers) and get back to normal (reinstall our sites, etc). Of course, the "holiness" of MODx - the "FREE" disaster, would tell you it isn't MODx' fault ... Never, isn't it? Of course not, not such a terrible, worthless piece of hacked up code! Good luck to you all with your "FREE" rubbish! ;-) Uhm, Guys – May I humbly suggest you stay away from MODX?
