:’( Does anyone have any ideas I would like to change my template and can’t

I’m not a coder sorry, than i can only try to help you with a stupid question:

Are asset/cache files writable??

...otherwise a DB issue

Or something with the .htaccess file in the /manager folder? It’s a backend issue, shouldn’t have anything to do with the database. The processors can’t find the manager/index.php file. The last time that happened to me I had forgotten to update the manager/index.php file when updating the rest of the site.

I updated my files on 1/22/2005 my and asset is writable .htaccess in the manager files just says RewriteEngine Off nothing else but in my root it says
# MODx supports friendly URLs via this .htaccess file. In order to use it, you must change the
# file name from ht.access to .htaccess. If you don’t want to use friendly URLs, you can comment
# the three Rewrite directives out with pound signs (like the beginning of this line).
#
# Make sure RewriteBase points to the directory where you installed MODx.
# E.g., "/" if your installation is in your root web documents directory (it comes this way by
# default) or "/MODx" if your installation is in a MODx subdirectory, per the comments below. You
# must serve web pages via Apache with mod_rewrite to be able to use this functionality.
#
# The last two blocks of rules at the bottom of this .htaccess file address anamolies with IE
# for Windows PCs and the way in which it caches images, which causes a distracting flicker in
# background images when links are hovered on the page.
#
# The output compression directives immediately below serve to speed up delivery of web pages,
# and may also be optionally commented out.

php_flag zlib.output_compression On
php_value zlib.output_compression_level 5

# Rewrite directives here for SEF (Search Engine Friendly) URLs

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# If your MODx installation is in a subdirectory, change the following line to match the physical
# path to the "root" of the site as follows:
# RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /path/to/subdirectory/index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

# This following two sections stops screen flicker in IE on rollovers (Bad IE Win, Bad!).
# Comment these sections out if you do not need them. They can result in having to force reload
# pages when developing sites and changing images frequently to see your changes.

#ExpiresActive On
#ExpiresByType image/gif A2592000
#ExpiresByType image/jpeg A2592000
#ExpiresByType image/png A2592000

#BrowserMatch "MSIE" brokenvary=1
#BrowserMatch "Mozilla/4.[0-9]{2}" brokenvary=1
#BrowserMatch "Opera" !brokenvary
#SetEnvIf brokenvary 1 force-no-vary
This has only happened within the last month since I upgraded

Rewrite Engine Off is what it’s supposed to say, if you have changed the ht.access to .htaccess. They both have to be changed if the one in your site root is changed.

So do I change them both to say off or what

No, the one in the root handles the rewrite rules for using friendly URLs. You need to rename the ht.access file to .htaccess file for this. You don’t want this rewriting of urls happening in the manager, so the one in the manager folder gets renamed also from ht.access to .htaccess and turns the rewrite engine off.

Ok I am now stumped I got rid of all files added another mysql base reuploaded the new download of modx and still can’t use the system configuration as I still get this error

This post has been marked as solved, but despite reading it numerous times i can’t see any reference to how the problem was solved.
i am suffering from the same problem and would be grateful if someone could enlighten me as to how to resolve this issue.

Many thanks
