We're trying to set up a system whereby we have a ready-made starter site, set up with customized control panel features, TVs, permissions, etc. and use it as a way to get a head start on building new MODx-based websites.
I've tried uploading the files to a new account and then installing the starter site's database (revised to reflect the new account and server). Then, I clear the core > cache and make sure it is writable.
Doing this still results in various problems, especially having to do with cache issues. Even with the cache cleared and made writable (sometimes I even delete the core > cache directory entirely and create a new one (making it writable) just to make sure it's completely empty.
I just tried doing one of these site clones onto a subdomain (called "site2) from a working site and keep getting the following errors:
Warning: rename(/home/sample/domains/sample.com/public_html/site2/core/cache/mgr/smarty/default/6e8607c0b6515998e8bb35301b0288bd51793a52.file.login.tpl.php) [function.rename]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/sample/domains/sample.com/public_html/site2/core/model/smarty/sysplugins/smarty_internal_write_file.php on line 42

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's attempted to do something similar. What do you folks do to get a working site up and functioning quickly with ready-configured backend features?
Thank you in advance.
