Evo 1.2.1 install does not finish

kalfsnor

I m on a VPS running PHP 8.0.3, MariaDB not sure rest of versions.
I ftp over Modx Evo package, but after it confirms everything is writable and in place, it ends with a page in more or less plain text stating the following (page source):
<h2>Install results</h2> Setup will now attempt to setup the database: Creating connection to the database: OK!Selecting databasemydatabase: OK!

Opening the manager page, it states that installation is in progress and the landingpage just throws "error".

I also tried with version 1.4.16, which end the same if I install all plugins etc. If I only install "If", installation ends but in the manager I get an error about variable "a" in default/style.php does not exist. I need to start with 1.2.1 anyway because I m trying to migrate an existing site to a different provider.

NB the site runs perfect on XAMPP.

Evo 1.2.1 is very old and includes a lot of outdated extras, I don't think it works with php 8.
Try with an older PHP version.
