Upgraded to 1.0, now can't login to Manager

I tried reinstalling again, making sure I was logged out prior to doing it, no luck.

I started out not logged in, because I visited the site after installation and saw the offline message. I tried logging in and the page reloaded and just showed the manager login screen like nothing happened. However, I could see QE on the site and noticed that even when I try to logout via the quickedit panel, it doesn’t appear to do anything. QE stays visible. When I try to edit anything via QE, it takes me back to the manager login page. I do also use friendly urls, could that have anything to do with it?

I usually turn FURLs off and rename .htaccess to ht.access before doing a major move or upgrade.

Well, I just tried doing both and it didn’t make a difference. ???

Edit:
Okay, so I just noticed that the new .htaccess file from version 1.0 has this bit of code uncommented in it and it is not included with my .htaccess file from 9.6.3 (I never uploaded the new .htaccess file so as not to overwrite my rewrite coding.)



Could this be causing the problem? Before I go and reinstall 1.0 again....

I doubt it; all that does is make it so that you don’t have to have another .htaccess file in the manager to turn off the rewrite engine.

Could it be that the page is cached while you’re the manager user, so even when you log out the buttons are there? That would explain why you get sent to the manager login page if you try to use it when logged out.

Are you referring to the browser cache or some form of cache in Modx? If you’re referring to the browser, then no, that isn’t the problem. I’ve tried using Chrome and Firefox to login and both produce the same problem. Even after I’ve cleared the cache. If it’s Modx, does that mean I shouldn’t have any of my pages cached? In other words, should I switch the cacheable default to off on the configuration screen and make sure all of my pages are changed as well?

I was referring to the MODx site cache; you could try clearing the cache just before you log out. Did you by any chance check the "Remember me" box on the manager’s login page?

I’m just trying to figure out why it is behaving this way and tossing out any ideas that come to me.

Anytime I’ve ever cleared the site cache via the manager menu bar, it pretty much has always shown:
0 documents were published.
0 documents were unpublished.
Cache: Found 5 files in cache directory and deleted 0 cache files.
New cache files will be created when pages are requested.

So I don’t think that’s the problem as it doesn’t seem to actually need to clear anything. I’ve also never really checked the remember me box, mainly because it never seems to work for me.
