Site finally works online, but manager doesn't...

Hey all

Just uploaded my site from local to server

When I log in to manager I get following error:
Could not find action file at: /path/path/test.kennybrijs.net/path/path/manager/controllers/default/welcome.php

Tutorial says "clear cache" when you get that error, but that doesn't help

My site USED to be located at http://test.kennybrijs.net (that was when I first uploaded it to the server) but has now been moved to kennybrijs.net (no test.) I changed all the variables that are described in the tutorial (section Updating your Config Files): http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Moving+Your+Site+to+a+New+Server

I guess I should be re-running setup, but if I try that I get:
FATAL ERROR: MODX Setup cannot continue.
Make sure your PHP session configuration is valid and working.

Any thoughts?

Did you run setup after moving the site? If not, do that.

Check the path in the modx_workspaces table in PhpMyAdmin.

Hey BobRay, thx for replying

Already changed path in database.

Tried running setup, but:

The first thing to do is delete all files in the core/cache directory and clear your browser cache and cookies.

Then, check the paths and URLs in core/config/config.inc.php and the config.core.php files in the following directories:

§ MODX root directory
§ /manager/
§ /connectors/
§ /setup/includes/

If the path in the Setup directory config.core.php file is wrong, you may be able to run Setup after correcting it and skip the following steps.

In PhpMyAdmin, check the path in the modx_workspaces table.

If there is an .htaccess file in the MODX root directory, check the rewrite base line (or rename the .htaccess file).

Also, see if anything here helps: http://bobsguides.com/modx-troubleshooting.html.

It seems to be solved after removing the files in the cache folder through ftp.
What I don't understand, doesn't "clear cache" in the MODx manager do exactly the same?

Thx a lot for your help man!

It's supposed to, but it doesn't always work, especially on Windows hosts.

According to the docs on caching, the "Clear Cache" action in the manager doesn't "delete" the files in the core/cache folder. It's supposed to "refresh" these files (e.g. system settings cache).''

http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Caching

In particular, the System and Context Settings Cache items are never deleted, only replaced.
