[Template] Andreas01 package

Hello,

I am trying to use the Andreas01 template, but I’m having a problem with the ’DropMenuS’ snippet. I’ve got everything else installed, but when I try to save the ’DropMenuS’ snippet, I get the following:

"Precondition Failed

The precondition on the request for the URL /manager/index.php evaluated to false."

Any ideas?

I have tried this on two different hosts (Textdrive and 1and1). Each time, I get the same result.

Thanks

This doesn’t have anything to do with the snippet itself. Have you saved any other snippets? Just make up a quick snippet, name it "hello":



and save it. I think you have a more serious problem with your installation.

Hi,

Okay, I named a snippet "hello" and saved it.

I didn’t have any problems with it.

Odd, I just went into my copy of the template package and saved that snippet on three different hosts with no trouble, so I can’t begin to say what the problem could be. (later...downloaded the package from here, unzipped and installed the snippet on the same servers, again no problems )

Here’s my working copy; maybe that snippet got corrupted in the zip/unzip process somehow.

Thanks.

I tried the copy you posted. I encountered the same problem.
I’ll keep searching.

Thanks for taking some time to help me!

Sincerely,

Ok, try this: Open your existing DropMenu snippet and see if you can "Save" it without making any changes. If you can, then copy/paste your installation’s existing DropMenu snippet to a text editor and save it somewhere to back it up. Now replace its text with the text from the DropMenuS snippet file. Save.

Hmmm...interesting. I can’t save it (the original).

I tried it on both hosts (Textdrive and 1and1) and I couldn’ t save it on either one.

that is strange. I use 1and1 and it works like a charm. Their servers have been really good. I got 3 staged modx installs running on it.

Download your MODx again, unpack and then upload it again to the server. (forget install, since you already installed the engine) Then retry the add on of the snippet.

It turns out this was something to do with mod_security at TextDrive. It had nothing to do with Modx.

Thanks for the help!

It would be interesting to examine the logs and find out exactly what was triggering the blocking.
