Packages won't install or upgrade

Hi,

I didn’t post this as a bug since I think I’ve done something wrong myself. I migrated revo from a subdirectory to server root and everything seemed to worked out just fine. I then tried to install tinymce which didn’t work. It still tried to find something from the old subdirectory:

Console running...
Package found...now preparing to install.
Could not install package with signature: tinymce-4.1.2-pl
Attempting to install package with signature: tinymce-4.1.2-pl
Target directory is either not a directory or writable: /biz/0/stage/html/uusi/core/packages/
Could not transfer package tinymce-4.1.2-pl.transport.zip to /biz/0/stage/html/uusi/core/packages/.

"uusi" is the subdirectory which no longer even exists. Next I tried to upgrade Quip which also failed miserably and now all blog pages have no .css styling what so ever. It seems to me that somewhere in the package management settings there is still a reference to the old subdirectory but I haven’t found anything. Any ideas?

Oh, and all the terms, settings and such which are displayed before installing a plugin are blank which is no doubt because of the same issue.

Did you do an upgrade install after moving MODx?

You may have to uninstall, remove, and reinstall the packages.

Got it fixed and both tinymce and Quip install successfully - edited database entry as told in the migration guide.. Quip is still acting up tho. It tries to fetch .css and images from a subdirectory named after the container when it should be searching for them from the root. Any ideas?

Hm. Something has definitely gone wrong - possibly with pretty urls, Archivist or Quip. I don’t know. The site in question is here: http://www.stagecraftgames.com.

When I access the blog post, url is http://www.stagecraftgames.com/blog/audiodraft where "blog" is the alias of container and "audiodraft" is the alias of post. Images and CSS would not work but I had them inserted in the server under a folder called blog.

Something is inserting the "blog" into all urls after this. Even the normal navigation is changed when viewed from blog post. Only explanation I can come up with is that when the post is accessed, root url is no longer the root but root/blog. What is causing this? Is it Archivist or something else? I have now reinstalled both Archivist and Quip - no results. Also I have cleared the cache of both browser and manager after the changes.

How embarrassing.. I had just forgotten the <base href="[[!++site_url]]" /> from the head... I’ll just get my coat and shut up.

Thanks for fessing up. We’ve all been there
