    I upgraded to 3957, did some work, and my MODx site is MIA.


    After upgrading, in IE7 I:

    did a build
    logged in
    deleted an extra namespace I had created earlier
    changed the path of my captcha namespace
    created a new lexicon focus
    added some new lexicon entries and saved them
    Clicked on Import, but backed out without importing.
    Browsed a few non-existent pages in both Lexicon Management tabs ( see: http://svn.modxcms.com/jira/browse/MODX-282 )

    Tried to log on in FF and got a "can’t find user" message
    went back to IE7 where I was still logged in and cleared the cache and cleared all browser caches
    went back to FF and got a completely blank page
    logged out in IE7 and got a blank page

    tried an install and got the same blank page

    Here’s the complete page source of the blank page:

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
    <HTML><HEAD>
    <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
    <BODY></BODY></HTML>


    Re-booted, cleared the MODx caches manually, and re-started Apache but still have nothing.
    In the DB, all the changes I made are there and look normal.

      3957 modified the modUser table and requires the package to rebuilt and an upgrade install to be run. I should have noted that in the commit comments. Sorry BobRay.

        First thing I tried last night.

        I’ve done several rebuilds. I was able to get setup to run once all the way through but still got the "white screen of death" when trying to access the manager.

        Now setup hangs on the last step with a WSOD, even after a new build. The front end looks fine.

        [update] Here’s the last error in the log from last night:
        [2008-08-20 12:28:42] (ERROR @ /modx097/index.php) `[[++site_start)]]~` is not numeric and may not be passed to makeUrl()

        I’ve seen that before. I wish I could remember what it means.  wink

          I tried everything, including dropping all tables in the DB and doing a "new" install. Still no go.

          I’m back in action after deleting the entire MODx directory, doing a fresh checkout, and a new build and install.

          I never did figure out what trashed things. (I hate when that happens). It could have been doing work in the Manager on a site that should have had a build and upgrade install first, or a corrupt update from the repository, or cosmic rays, or Gremlins. I suspect the Trilateral Commission.

          That reminds me of a story I swear is true although I doubt if anyone believes it. This really happend to me. Back when I was first learning programming, I actually saw a small beetle disappear into a seam in my computer. About 30 seconds later, the program I was working on crashed. I tried running it several times (floppy disk drives often had intermittent problems in those days that would crash your program) but it kept crashing so I decided to take a break. I came back just in time to see the literal bug reappear out of the machine. I tried the program again several times and it ran flawlessly. . . I never did find out what that bug was doing inside the machine. wink
