TIP : staging or cloning MODX install on cPanel stuck : running setup solved

Hi,

I've been stuck recently after having clone my MODX install with cPanel.

I could log ine the manager.
The public part of the website was OK. But in the manager, there was a lot of things where'nt loaded an nothing was usable. I had some "undefined?action=" xhr requests...

I get this solved by re-run the setup process on my cloned install.

Hope it can help as re-running setup is always a good thing to do with MODX when encoutering weird things in the manager part

Totally agree with you, it helps me too ... when I see something strange with the current version, I restart the setup process

Hi,
it is very helpful thanks !

Good tip.

FYI, with the UpgradeMODX extra, you can "Upgrade" to the version you already have. This does three or four things for you.

1. Downloads and installs new copies of all MODX files
2. Completely clears the MODX cache
3. Runs Setup
4. (Optionally) deletes the /setup folder
