On the advice of a #modx EXPERT, I upgraded the localhost/dev server to 2.2.1-dev nightly, several things pertaining to media sources have been fixed etc.
The main site, http://mls2/ works fine.
However, after the upgrade, a context site, http://mls2/board, does not work...
It shows garbage characters (e.g. ��W�n�) WHY?? How to fix??
Trying to view other pages in this site (context) gives messages like:
Google Chrome: The webpage at http://mls2/board/test/ has resulted in too many redirects. Clearing your cookies for this site or allowing third-party cookies may fix the problem. If not, it is possibly a server configuration issue and not a problem with your computer.
Firefox: The page isn't redirecting properly. Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete. This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.
Not taking cookies won't work for us...
Is this a bug??????? If so I will file it...
Site WAS working in 2.1.5, upgraded because filemanager_url/path stuff not working, goal was/is to use media sources for this mls2/board site...
Thank you, Tom
