Problem running setup after hardening modx

Hi all,

I'm having a problem with running the setup after following the instructions in the manual to harden modx. When trying to run setup, it prompts me to enter the new core folder location, but after successfully doing that, I get the following errors:

Warning: require_once(/home/user/domain/core/model/smarty/plugins/modifier.replace.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/user/newcorefolder/cache/setup/smarty/1887e217a86c78d7083542f9ed97f3c811711a40_0.file.footer.tpl.php on line 24

Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required '/home/user/domain/core/model/smarty/plugins/modifier.replace.php' (include_path='.:') in /home/user/newcorefolder/cache/setup/smarty/1887e217a86c78d7083542f9ed97f3c811711a40_0.file.footer.tpl.php on line 24

Have I missed something? Or have I done the wrong thing when unpacking the files for the setup?

I'll include the steps I took when unzipping/copying just in case.

unzipped the modx-traditional installer and copied the content folders individually over the new folder locations
i.e. copied /home/user/modx-2.5.6-pl/core to /home/user/newcorefolder/
copied home/user/modx-2.5.6-pl/connectors to /home/user/domain/newconnectorsfolder/
copied home/user/modx-2.5.6-pl/manager to /home/user/domain/newmanagerfolder/

Is this correct?

Did you specify the new path to the core folder in these files?

/config.core.php
/home/user/domain/newconnectorsfolder/config.core.php
/home/user/domain/newmanagerfolder/config.core.php

define('MODX_CORE_PATH', '/home/user/newcorefolder/');

Then in /home/user/newcorefolder/config/config.inc.php change the path and url references to the new core, manager and connectors folders. Note that changing the core also makes it necessary to redefine the path to the processors folder.

if (!defined('MODX_CORE_PATH')) {
    $modx_core_path= '/home/user/newcorefolder/';
    define('MODX_CORE_PATH', $modx_core_path);
}
if (!defined('MODX_PROCESSORS_PATH')) {
    $modx_processors_path= '/home/user/newcorefolder/model/modx/processors/';
    define('MODX_PROCESSORS_PATH', $modx_processors_path);
}
if (!defined('MODX_CONNECTORS_PATH')) {
    $modx_connectors_path= '/home/user/domain/newconnectorsfolder/';
    $modx_connectors_url= '/newconnectorsfolder/';
    define('MODX_CONNECTORS_PATH', $modx_connectors_path);
    define('MODX_CONNECTORS_URL', $modx_connectors_url);
}
if (!defined('MODX_MANAGER_PATH')) {
    $modx_manager_path= '/home/user/domain/newmanagerfolder/';
    $modx_manager_url= '/newmanagerfolder/';
    define('MODX_MANAGER_PATH', $modx_manager_path);
    define('MODX_MANAGER_URL', $modx_manager_url);
}

You should probably also empty the contents of the /home/user/newcorefolder/cache/ folder

Hi Andy,

Yes, I changed those references.

I managed to get the installer running after copying /home/user/modx-2.5.6/core into /home/user/domain/core and discovering that the installer had the "I have already unzipped and placed the core folder" option flagged (probably because I have always used the traditional installer). I have now managed to successfully run the updater.

Thanks for the reminder to clear the cache, too. I always always manage to forget that step.

Cheers, Kahli
