Cant make changes in manager, inner frame loads the root index page inside it ??

Sorry i havnt searched as i dont know where to begin with this one. i presume this is what im looking for though? http://modxcms.com/bugs/task/825l   ?

Having used modx for years and to find this happening im shocked,

When i press save when performing any action in the in manager (whilst making a new template for example) the main frame of the manager loads the root index.php (my home page) inside it  Rather than redirecting to the admin area .  and the changes dont get committed . Its just broke ! and its a fresh install

Its very annoying and i cant save anything !!

MODx 0.9.6
Apache version 1.3.37 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.0
MySQL version 5.0.27-standard
Architecture i686
Operating system Linux

this is quite urgent ! is some one willing to lend a hand !

Sounds like some mod_security related problems, or configuration issues with your .htaccess files. Have you renamed the ht.access to .htaccess in both the root (/) and the /manager directories?

Ive deleted all httacess files and turned friendly urls off.

Ive just noticed another thing, in the manager top frame, its loading into it my homepage !

Very strange...

when i do manage to make a change, and it says,

Action was completed successfully!
- Please wait while MODx cleans up.



it then does a refresh and keeps refreshing the same message over and over and over untill i close the browser !

Perhaps one of the files is corrupt? Re-upload the manager and index files.

was a fresh download of the latest version ! any one want manager access so i can show them the prob please PM me !

I’ve had fresh downloads that were extracted have a file corrupted when transferring to a server. Several other times that I can recall this has solved a completely mysterious problem for other folks. FTP isn’t the most robust transfer mechanism, but it sure does work almost all of the time. "Almost".

If it’s on a local machine, re-download the archive and try again.

i dont think this is the problem though... as it was running 0.9.5 and had the problem so i decided to upgrade and the same problem happened.. what are the changes of this happening twice! i have installed it fine on the same server to a different domain but its just this one fookin up ! ive re installed and uploaded over 3 times now and its still happening

It’s definitely got to be a configuration issue it sounds like then. I’d start by looking at your htaccess files and your paths inside the manager.

The database tables are set to have a collation of ’latin1_swedish_ci’ would this make a difference? what is best to use ?
