Sorry - this is probably a simple answer if I knew where to look, but I’ve got one of my sites into a bit of a pickle (copying files across from subdomain and salvage attempts when something went wrong) - when I upload a new version of MODX zip and unpack it, the installer wants to do a clean install (ie wipe my database) instead of an upgrade. What do I need to change to let /setup know to do an upgrade rather than an install?

If the core/config/config.inc.php file exists, it will generally be an upgrade install.
/core/config.inc.php exists (the version of MODX - 2.0.7 is currently running "fine") - but when I try to upgrade higher it doesn’t give me an option to upgrade.

Hopefully, you meant core/config/config.inc.php.

There shouldn’t be a config file at core/config.inc.php.
Check the config.core.php file in the setup directory, and the one in the root, and make sure the paths are right. It may be looking in the wrong place for the config file.
