    Hi,

    I’ve created a new site in modx using xampp as my local host.

    I’ve now got to the stage where i’m ready to upload the site live to a server. I’ve tried several time to connect to http://localhost/xampp/ so i can create a mysql database to upload on my server but i keep getting page load error message. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

    This is the first time i’ve tried this with modx so i’m not overly confident i am doing this correctly.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

    Regards

      What is the message? It maybe your .htaccess file causing issues.

        If your local MOx site is working, you already have a working MySQL database.

        If you want to export the database files to upload to the remote server, you can probably use:

        http://localhost/phpmyadmin/

        or just http://localhost/ or http://127.0.0.1 if you want the xampp welcome page.

          Thanks BobRay. I’ve managed to export my sql database and get my site up live.

          Wondered if i could ask for your help again?
          I’ve uploaded the site onto the live server and changed the resource path but now when i preview my site, i notice that my navigation has re-ordered itself. Is there a way i can correct this?

          Kind regards

            oops... looks like your remote site has a buggy version of MySQL.

                The quick fix (though not the best fix) is to go into the Wayfinder source, find the SQL query, and take out the "GROUP BY" clause.
