    Hi folks,

    I know this issue has been reported multiple times in the past, but I can almost swear I followed all the steps.

    I've just gone through the trouble of upgrading to a VPS server and after all the DNS propagation nightmare, things are kinda back to normal except the manager isn't accessible. I just upgraded to Revo 2.2.4.

    I made sure to update the paths in config files and here's I what's in each of them:
    /config.core.php
    <?php
    define('MODX_CORE_PATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/core/');
    define('MODX_CONFIG_KEY', 'config');
    


    /connectors/config.core.php
    <?php
    define('MODX_CORE_PATH', '
    /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/core/');
    define('MODX_CONFIG_KEY', 'config');
    ?>


    /core/config/config.core
        $modx_core_path= '/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/core/';
        $modx_processors_path= '/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/core/model/modx/processors/';
        $modx_connectors_path= '
    /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/connectors/';
        $modx_manager_path= '
    /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/manager/';
        $modx_base_path= '
    /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/';
        $modx_assets_path= '
    /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/assets/';
    
    
    

    /manager/config.core.php
    <?php
    define('MODX_CORE_PATH', '
    /var/www/vhosts/mysite.com/httpdocs/core/');
    define('MODX_CONFIG_KEY', 'config');
    ?>


    Can anyone see what's wrong?

        I'm trying to do it, but struggling with file ownership. For what it's worth, the cor/cache was empty prior to upgrade.

          My cache directory is empty thx to SSH removal commands. The manager is still not accessible.
          I'm not sure what else to think of. The site has been down since 2 days.

          Please anybody help

            Check for any path settings in modx_workspaces table.
            May have nothing to do with it, but also check URL settings in config.inc.php for the manager (but it should still have showed up, just maybe unstyled)
            Check the database connection settings in config.inc.php

            Have you tried re-running setup?
            Also check .htacess isn't screwing with you by renaming it to ht.access for the short term

            • 503 errors are nearly always related to .htaccess. Happened to me yesterday with one that I simply uncommented two lines of, and then re-commented. Broken site even after re-commenting the two lines.

              Here's what worked:

              Re-name the .htaccess to ht.access_old (no .htaccess at all). Try to access manager and site. If it works, re-load an original ht.access, save as .htaccess with everything commented out. Uncomment and re-load the ht.access_old commands one by one manually. One of these will either wonk the site, or it'll continue to work.

                Thx guys for the tips. I'm running a fresh install on a clean database. If I can at least install MODX, I'll important the old sql, hoping it will work. I've been up all night on this.

                Wish me luck, if this doesn't work, I hope one of you won't mind taking a look and your time will be compensated.

                Thanks again

                  If you rename .htaccess to something else and turn off FURLs it will take the .htaccess file out of play and eliminate that possibility. You may have to edit the modx_system_settings table in PhpMyAdmin to turn off FURLs if you can't access the Manager.

                    Folks,

                    Just to let you, I had to run a fresh MODX install and simply important content and template tables into the new dba. Everything else had to be reinstalled. It's the only way I could make the thing work.

                    Thanks for your assistance. Much appreciated.
