    I just upgraded to 1.0.2 and now I’m unable to browse the assets folder. I’ve checked my permissions and they seem to be right. Any thoughts?

    I should note... the site’s running on a Media Temple GS. PHP5.

        Have you checked the File Manager path in Tools | Configuration | File Manager tab?

        It needs to be the full path (not URL) to the modx site root (e.g. home/username/public_html/modx/).

          Yes I did and it’s the correct path. If I go to Elements > Manage Files I can see that it’s pointing to the right location, but as you can see in the attached image it’s not showing the green check mark or binocular icons. I’ve checked my permissions multiple times and they’re correct, I don’t know if something needs changed in my config.inc file or what?

            i was having the same issues after upgrading, but all of my problems were solved by changing permissions.

            you’re sure you did recursive permissions where applicable right? like not just putting 777 not just on the directory, but all files within (the ones you’re actually editing).

              Yes, I did that. I tried re-uploadingthe manager/media/browser directory... no luck. Man is this frustrating!

                all i can think of making sure the recursive permissions work. fyi - i also have some sites hosted on a mediatemple "grid-server" server so that shouldn’t have anything to do with it.

                what happens if you do "chmod -R 777 assets/"? if you implicitly give all access to everything in the assets folder does that give you the proper permissions through the manager??

                  I tried it, no luck. I’m using my ftp program (Transmit) to set chmod, should I do it a different way maybe?

                  I didn’t think being hosted on MT would make any difference, just grasping at anything.

                  Do you have any other ideas? It’s making me crazy.

                    did I miss something - the listing you posted looks correct to me -
                    There are ’no entry signs’ on the directories, but view and edit ones on the only file in that listing the last one?

                      can you use another ftp program or perhaps ssh? perhaps your program isn’t setting the permissions properly? maybe try another program like filezilla?

                      if you can get in with ssh, which you should be able to do no problem on mediatemple if you’re the administrator. there’s a free program called "putty" if you don’t already have anything setup to ssh into the server. once you ssh in you can do the chmod command.
