Hi there,
I installed the latest Revo-Release 2.1.1 on two accounts of one server. Everything went fine, but since a few days, the backend doesn’t display properly anymore. I can log in without any problems, but the manager doesn’t display the window on the left where you edit documents, ressources, templates and so on. Most pages of the manager are empty (system -> system settings for example), some others like user administration appear broken (view attachment).
Due to the fact I didn’t change anything in the code or the database, I cannot really tell where this comes from. I supposed maybe my hosting company changed something in PHP or MySQL-Software, but apparently they didn’t. PHP-Debug doesn’t show anything, setting memory_limit to 128MB didn’t help either.
If you need any more information, just ask.
Thank you!
Ah yeah...

I have seen this problem before, you just need to replace the manager and connector folders with ones from a fresh install.
I don’t know why this happens, but that should fix it for you.

I would be happy to take a look for you. Email the details to

We couldn’t solve the problem...now I tried to install ModX Evolution (latest release) and it works fine. But ModX Revo still doesn’t work, neither 2.1.1 nor 2.1.2. Anybody has a explanation why Evo works and Revo doesn’t?

They’re two different products and besides sharing the same paradigms under the hood they are very, very different..
If Patrick couldn’t pull it off I doubt I can help you via the forum though I am curious what can be going on. I’ll just copy his suggestion - email me some details to business -at- markhamstra.nl.
Finally we found out what the problem was. The server didn’t parse .js.php files, so the backend couldn’t work with these files and was not able to display documents, settings and so on.
Solution: Create a .htaccess in your main folder with this content:
RemoveType .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php53 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php53 .js.php
Now everything seems to be working fine again. Thank you so much for your help!

Just to add a bit to help others find out if they have a similar problem...
- There were no 404 requests when loading the manager home screen, but javascript errors indicate the "MODx" (or sub-)variable is undefined.
- Upon trying to open a .js.php file (the config is one of them, and the culprit in this case) instead of outputting the content it pops up a download box allowing you to download the php source.
I've just started to have some display issues with my install 2.2.1 revo, php 5.2.16
The buttons above the resources tree left hand side and the "save", "close" buttons top left are appearing broken. They're functionally working it's just a display issue.
See the image attached.
The above fix:
htaccess - so i can change the modx ht.access to a .htaccess file but how do i insert/create the code phil87 mentions?
