Answered Manager not loading resources/elements

Hello I am pushing MODX Revo 2.1.3 from my localhost to the live server. I believe I modified all the paths correctly, the website is up and looking fine. However when I log into the manager, the first page after I login just has Modx news and does not load the resources from the site. If I click on any of the drop down menus, it shows a blank page with just the admin header/navigation.

Did I miss something during the server migration that links the admin to edit the resources?

Did you run an upgrade install on the new server?

not yet, but it is the same version. ill give it a try.

also i have cleared my browser cache and deleted all files inside the modx "cache" folder on the server.

It's also possible that one or more files got corrupted in the transfer, especially if you used FTP to move them. It happens more often than you might think. It's much more reliable (and infinitely faster) to .zip them up, transfer the .zip file, and unzip them on the new site.

i did zip them

i uploaded the setup folder from Revo 2.1.3 and when I run it i get the following error message on load: (keep in mind the website appears to be working normally, its just the admin)

You definitely don't want this information posted on a public forum!

TMI for hackers.

Check all the paths in core/config/config.inc.php.

Also, delete all files in the core/cache directory and clear your browser cache and cookies.

its actually still on a testing server, thank you. and I already deleted my cached directory and browser cache. How do these paths look?

I am having the same issue and have the tried the suggestions listed above with no effect. Did you ever figure out what the problem was?
