blank package management

Downloaded the newest Modx Revolution yesterday and everything seems to work (at least with the first page) from chunk to template, except for one thing: Package Management.

I am unable to add a new package nor add a provider. When clicking on Add New Package, Download Extras, or Add Providers (selecting info), nothing does after saving any selection. E.g.

1) Click on Add New package + select Search Locally for Packages -> click on Next
2) Pop up window.. click on Yes. Then it closes and back to 1). It doesn’t go next but loop.

Or,

Click on Add New Provider -> Enter information -> Click on Save.. "please wait" then stay in Add New Provider popup window. Click on "Save" repeatedly, nothing acts.

Then, installed cURL or sockets on my web server. Done. Still the same problem.

Please advise. It looks like a wonderful cms/cmf and I look forward to using it. Thanks.

Did you install over an existing version?

If not, it sounds like a corrupted file in the download or upload (or an unsupported browser).

I just came here to post the same problem. It also doesn’t detect manually downloaded packages, e.g. wayfinder, in /core/packages

I’ve tried a few betas and encountered some strange behavior with things failing to appear before, but this is the first time I’ve not been able to see any packages.

This was a clean installation.

From the bold, sticky post in this forum, "BEFORE YOU POST HERE: READ THIS (ESPECIALLY YOU BUG REPORTERS)":

3. If you’re posting about a bug, please state all of your Environment information in your post: Server OS, Server Version, PHP Version, MySQL Version (client and server), is pdo_mysql installed, your Browser type and version, and any other environment data we should know.

Thanks!

Sorry. One thing that’s different, I switched to a local environment for testing, so it may be a compatibility thing.


Additionally, here is the response I get when requesting a package listing:


Which seems clear enough.

Here is the service URL from the Providers tab: http://rest.modxcms.com/extras/

and here is the result of a local search ({"total":"0","results":[]})

I may have done something wrong trying to install wayfinder manually, I extracted wayfinder-2.1.1-rc1 into /core/packages/wayfinder-2.1.1-rc1 is that incorrect?

I think that’s everything you requested.

Thank you.

You shouldnt have to extract wayfinder; Revo will do that for you.

As for the cannot connect to provider - are you behind a proxy? Do you have safe_mode on?

I am not behind a proxy and safe_mod is definitely off.

There’s something odd, though. I just installed it on remote server and package management works fine.

Do you get any JS errors?

Does this occur if you load Package Management in, say, Chrome or Safari? (dont even try IE, i can tell you now it wont work.)

If it does, can you give me more information about your environment? (Like a phpinfo())

Sure. It does not work in Chrome, I have but did not try Opera and IE. Attached is a printout of phpinfo() It’s not a big deal, for me at any rate, and is probably just me misconfiguration something without realizing it.

cURL doesnt seem to be installed. Sockets is - and that should allow it to work - but I can’t figure out why. I’ll have to debug more later next week.
