    There’s this in the error log:

    (ERROR @ /modx-20/connectors/workspace/packages.php) Could not transfer package getresources-1.0.0-ga.transport.zip to /modx-20/core/packages/.
    [2010-05-17 08:42:00] (ERROR @ /modx-20/connectors/workspace/packages.php) Target directory is either not a directory or writable: /modx-20/core/packages/

    However, it is a directory and set to 777 . . .

    And Package Install has worked in the past . . .

    PHP: 5.2.11

    MySQL: 5.0.45

    Apache: Apache/2.2.14 (EL)

    eAccelerator not enabled

    Browser: Safari, FireFox on a Mac

    Thanks!

          Is this your actual absolute path from the root of the file system:
          /modx-20/core/packages/
          ???

          If not that is the problem. Did you by chance change the Default MODx Workspace path in the modx_workspaces table?

            Yes, that’s the path. And the default MODx workspace is set to: /modx-20/core/

            Fortunately, I was able to fixed this by upgrading.

            Interestingly, when I did, it complained that core/packages was not writable - I had set it to 755.

            I set it to 777, it deemed the directory writable, and finished the upgrade. And now I can retrieve and Install packages.

            Thanks to everyone for helping with this.
