    Hi all,

    I’ve got a problem in the manager. I’m able to login, but I get this error on in the manager:
    Could not find action file at: /path/to/manager/controllers/default/welcome.php.

    I’m on Windows Server 2008 w/ FastCGI, PHP 5.3.3, MySQL 5.1.51(server) MySQL 5.1.11(client), pdo_mysql enabled.

    I’ve been following these steps: http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Moving+Your+Site+to+a+New+Server, and I’m stuck on the last step. Again, I’m getting the exact message that this guide says you will probably get, but check this out:

    Before I zipped up the site from the old server, I cleared the cache & flushed all sessions. I copied out the contents of the old cache file and saved them.. Now, on the new server, if I clear & flush, I get an error message "Internal Server Error Occurred" & can’t see the manager. However, if I paste the old cache files back, I am able to see the manager again, albeit with the previous error message.

    I’ve also tried upgrading the installation to use new files, but when I do that, I get the "Internal Server Error" message again.

    Any ideas on what I can do?

    UPDATE:
    I realized that this error message is referencing back to the old server I’m moving from.. where is modx looking for this file?

      The only server-specific files are:

      * The four config.core.php files in these directories:

      § MODx root directory
      § /manager/
      § /connectors/
      § /setup/includes/

      * The .htaccess file

      * And the core/config/config.inc.php file

      Look in those files to see if there’s anything that’s set for the old server.
