    This particular host doesn’t offer a control pannel or anything, how would i go about finding the correct path?

    You can start asking your webhost administrator about the Cpanel, or the path to your web-directory.
    It’s not a joke. You should know it from the beginning.

    I called the hosting company DONHOST, their support line didn’t seem to have much of a clue. They said the site root is /public_html/ That is the heighest directory level in the site.

    Suffice to say that didn’t work - with other hosts the root has always been something like /home/public_html/[modx_site]

    Do you have any other ideas short of switching host?

      Make a php file, with this content:

      <?php
  phpinfo();
?>


      Upload it to your server, run it from your browser.
      Look for a "DOCUMENT_ROOT".

        sorted thanks.

        I found a stie for ecommerce software and someone had a similar issue with donhost. I now know the correct path. Still I will continue to move my companies sites away from this company.

        Thanks

          tank you goldsky, I’m on a shared web server and your steps worked perfectly.

          Tools > Configuration:

          Resource path: /home/[your-username]/public_html/assets/
          Resource URL: http://www.[your-website].com/assets/


          File manager path: http://www.[your-website].com/assets

            Just would like to say that I’ve probably spent the last three hours working on a similar problem, checking all the directories/files to be 777 etc etc / trying to get the right path(s) searching various threads etc etc - had the file manager working to some degree, in that I could upload a file to it, but could not add a new directory getting access denied etc

            The Editor would not let me view any files that I had uploaded to assets/images and would not let me upload any getting the "Failed to upload file, internal error message" every time.

            So it was only when I found this thread did I finally get things working - using MODx 1.0.2

            Under Tools/Config/File Manager:
            File Manager Path /home/wwwanoth/public_html/assets/

            Then under Tools/Config/Interface & Features:
            File base path /home/wwwanoth/public_html/assets/
            File Browser URL http://www.anotherharddayattheoffice.co.uk/assets/

            And it all now works !!!

            Now on to the next issue!
