    Need some help.

    I am having a problem with a new Revo site with a blank manager page.
    The site works fine locally, but when uploading to my server, the manager page is blank.
    I can go to the other pages and everything else works.
    I have been working on this for a week and have tried so many thing, I don’t know what else to do.

    I have been using Evo for a couple of years and like it.
    I am new to Revo, and really want to use it.
    But this seems like a deal breaker.

    I am hosting the site on 1and1.
    It seems like I can only use php version 5.2.14
    I have not been able to change it to another version.
    It may be an issue with PHP or MySQL and 1and1?
    I have Evo sites running fine there.

    Here are the details:
    Web Host: 1and1
    PHP 5.2.14
    MySQL 5.0.67

    PHP.ini file:
    safe_mode = off
    register_globals = off
    magic_quotes_gpc = off
    
    upload_max_filesize = 20M
    max_execution_time = 300
    memory_limit = 24M
    post_max_size = 8M
    
    localhost;unix_socket=/tmp/mysql5.sock


    .htaccess file:
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f   
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d   
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]   
    
    AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
    AddHandler x-mapp-php5 .php


    Here the locations in my config.inc.php file:
        $modx_core_path= '/core/';
        $modx_processors_path= '/core/model/modx/processors/';
        $modx_connectors_path= '/connectors/';
        $modx_connectors_url= '/connectors/';
        $modx_manager_path= '/manager/';
        $modx_manager_url= '/manager/';
        $modx_base_path= '/';
        $modx_base_url= '/';
    	$http_host='www.mywebsite.com';
        $modx_assets_path= '/assets/';
        $modx_assets_url= '/assets/';
        $modx_cache_disabled= true;


    Running setup, everything is good. I just get this message:

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

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

    Both directories are there and writable.
    I tried both 755 and 777 settings and I still get the message.

    Any ideas?
    Do I try different PHP and MySQL versions? If so, how?

    Thanks in advance

      Those config paths are wrong. The ones ending in path should absolute filesystem paths. See http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Moving+Your+Site+to+a+New+Server or upload the original setup directory and rerun setup as upgrade in the new location.

        YES! That did it! THANK YOU OpenGeek!!!

        Here is an example of my files for others to see:
            $modx_core_path= '/homepages/18/dXXXXXXXXX/htdocs/core/';
            $modx_processors_path= '/homepages/18/dXXXXXXXXX/htdocs/core/model/modx/processors/';
            $modx_connectors_path= '/homepages/18/dXXXXXXXXX/htdocs/connectors/';
            $modx_connectors_url= '/connectors/';
            $modx_manager_path= '/homepages/18/dXXXXXXXXX/htdocs/manager/';
            $modx_manager_url= '/manager/';
            $modx_base_path= '/homepages/18/dXXXXXXXXX/htdocs/';
            $modx_base_url= '/';
            $modx_assets_path= '/homepages/18/dXXXXXXXXX/htdocs/assets/';
            $modx_assets_url= '/assets/';

          Same problem here, the path of the host was different.
          my case: /usr/home/.. -> /home/..
            Evolution user, I like the back-end speed and simplicity smiley
