Resources tree missing and blank pages for tabs

The ideas of turning off compression_js and compression_css in DB and deleting cache.inc.php in core worked for me.
At first it didn't but because I was trying the advanced install at the time I suspected my path and url definitions in the config.inc.php might be wrong or not matching appropriately. So I had to ensure those as well else the first steps will be insufficient.

I'm still working locally. Thanks for all the responses that helped me end a 2-day pain.

where are "try turning off js compression - modx_system_settings compress_js = 0
and possibly css compression:

where are these in the db?

where are these in the db?

look for: 'system settings' in the table title

I agree..if all else fails with MODX undo everything and start fresh. Don't be scared to do the work again!

Don't be scared to do the work again!

annoying to have to do but often faster!!!!

ru serious? Do my site over again?

No Luck. I'm desperate what are my options? The manager is just not working - the site is fine.

ru serious? Do my site over again?

the site is working so you do not need to redo the whole site - make a backup of the data base and any assets - images, static pages and the like

then you could do one of these - ( I went through a similar problem awhile back - I did the first method)
A - 1. you've made a backup of all that content right?
2. completely remove any extras you use - uninstall, remove and then reinstall You can do this one at a time (though if you are using Articles I would remove all of the extras it installs and reinstall it - note I think I read somewhere here they may be a problem with the latest Quip, might be fixed by now) or just do all of them and reinstall.

B - if A doesn't work or you just want to make sure it works:
1. - you've got that backup of content... all of it...
2. - delete the whole install and drop all your db tables
3. - Install from scratch and make sure the manager works
4. - install all the extras you use. check again that the manager works
5. - restore all your files and restore the database tables ( I have just dropped all the new tables and restored from my back up)
Hopefully now it all works -

Either method doesn't take all that long to do - in fact Method B is might be faster!

Hello and thanks. With respect to A2, i can't do that in the manager. It doesn't work. I can't even log out.

Should I do B then?

That is what I would do - YMMV
