    After upgrading, to 2.0.4 I have issues with modx not finding the assets folder. - Its there and present in fact the front end of the site works fine.

    Important Note:

    Your assets/ directory was not created at: /usr/local/home/httpd/docs/assets/
    You will need to create this directory and make it writable if you want to use Package Management or 3rd Party Components.

      If those directories *do* exist, then you haven’t given PHP permission to read or write to them, apparently, if those messages are showing up. You’ll need to do that first.

        Could you be a bit more specific - is it the address in the config file. As although the site was not moved I have had to update this as the new DNS is been pointed to the folder as root. where before it was a folder in the root of another domain name. (does that make sense!)

          Check the path in the modx_workspaces table and make sure that’s the same. Also, make sure your core/config/config.inc.php paths are correct.

            Thanks

            I’ve changed the works spaces path... no change

            It would be great if you could clarify this for me

            so my previous path was /usr/local/home/httpd/docs/modx/core/
            the new path is /usr/local/home/httpd/docs/core/

            When I follow the moving site instructions in the wiki I have mixed results...
            If I change the "Path" in the config as specified in the wiki to /usr/local/home/httpd/docs/core/ I lose the backend access and some parts of the front end. if I keep the path /usr/local/home/httpd/docs/modx/core/ but change base path and url to /usr/local/home/httpd/docs/core/ point at the root everything works (other than package management). I’ve cleared the cache and flushed permissions etc etc

            I can’t get my head around what bit is creating the problem...
