Package Installation Failure

I’ve just moved a site, I deployed an advanced install of 2.08-pl and moved the core out the document root, all went well until I tried to use the package management. Then I discovered in order to get it working I had to replace the new core/packages folder with the old core/packages folder uninstall and remove everything then install them like new again. However I’m getting errors for some of the packages:
Wayfinder
getResources
tinyMCE

For example Wayfinder’s output was:
Attempting to install package with signature: wayfinder-2.3.0-pl
Package found...now preparing to install.
Could not open file for reading: wayfinder-2.3.0-pl.transport.zip?revolution_version=Revolution-2.0.8-pl
MODx could not download the file. You must enable allow_url_fopen, cURL or fsockopen to use remote transport packaging.
Could not transfer package wayfinder-2.3.0-pl.transport.zip to /var/www/html/core/packages/.
Could not install package with signature: wayfinder-2.3.0-pl

However I’ve managed to install:
breadcrumbs
getPage
googlesitemap

Why would some packages not work and others will? Anyone know how I fix it? Obviously the site isn’t working properly now because the site relied on the 3 plugins that won’t install, bit rubbish!

Running a standard webserver and PHP safe mode is off. Fresh installs work, just this migration seems to be going a bit pair shaped

Make sure cURL is enabled and check the directory permissions on the new core/packages directory.

curl is enabled. packages owner is apache, group is apache and permissions are 777. Still no luck

Try deleting all files in the core/cache directory and clearing your browser cache and cookies.

If the host is using suPHP or suExec, the permissions need to be755 for directories and 644 for files.

Otherwise, I’m out of ideas.

Yes, it’s the path value in the single row that exists in the modx_workspaces table — if you followed the instructions for moving an installation this would not be an issue.

Maybe the title could be changed to "Moving Your Site to a New Server or Directory" for dummies like me...

agreed, I’ll see what we can do...
