    Hello
    I have to upgrade my modx from 2.2.0 to the latest and I am a bit afraid about this operation

    Until now, I did

    • A backup of my database
    • A copy of /core/cofig/config.inc.php
    • I cleaned /core/cache/
    • I Downlaod the l amodx
    I still have to Flush Sessions and Log Out

    I am not sure if I just have to upload the folder setup or if I have to upload all of the content of zip file I juts uploaded:

    	
-rwxr-xr-x@  1 pierrot  wheel   292 Dec 14 14:41 config.core.php
drwxr-xr-x@  7 pierrot  wheel   224 Dec 14 14:41 connectors
drwxr-xr-x@ 13 pierrot  wheel   416 Dec 14 14:41 core
-rwxr-xr-x@  1 pierrot  wheel  3755 Dec 14 14:40 ht.access
-rwxr-xr-x@  1 pierrot  wheel  1966 Dec 14 14:40 index.php
drwxr-xr-x@  9 pierrot  wheel   288 Dec 14 14:42 manager
drwxr-xr-x@ 13 pierrot  wheel   416 Dec 14 14:42 setup


    I am asking it because of the difference of my actually version to the latest

    Thank a lot for your clarification

      I'd recommend using the UpgradeMODX extra and upgrading to 2.3.0, 2.4.0, 2.5.0 and 2.6.0, then the current version.

        Definitely what Bob said! Do one at a time. Log into the manager. Clear cache. Log out. Install next version. BACK UP first.

            It looks like a problem with your server. Possibly an outdated version of OpenSSL or an outdated version of cURL or both. I think cURL is the most likely culprit.
