How can I change the Resource URL without the Manager?

I stupidly put in assets/templates in the Resource URL field on the configuration page and now get a 403 Forbidden message if I try to access Manager. Can someone tell me how to (or where to) change the Resource URL without using the Manager?

You should be able to just redo the install and correct it. Select upgrade install. If you deleted the install directory, you’ll have to replace it.

That is probably the best way and choose NOT "install demo page"!!

@BobRay: Would the setting be in table modx_system_settings?

I wonder if a MySQL call something like this could do it:


BUT THEN I REALISE HOW HARD IT WOULD BE TO FIND OUT THE RIGHT PATH...

Yes, it’s in the sysem_settings table, but actually, it shouldn’t affect your ability to log on to the Manager at all. That’s another reason I suggested a re-install. If that doesn’t work, your guess about mod_security may be correct, although I’ve never heard of that affecting logins.

In addition, 403 Forbidden can also occur when PHP is not installed or not running on the server.

Aha! Thanks for clarifying this!! *Im_a_geek*

For a quick temp fix to get back into the manager, you can manually edit the setting in the assets/cache/siteCache.idx.php, looking for something like this:
That should allow you to access the manager and change the setting from the manager (just make sure you don’t clear the cache before you edit the setting).

Thanks all... I reinstalled before I saw opengeeks message (which is what I was after) but all happy again now.

Glad you got it sorted. Thanks for reporting back.
