I was trying to move a ModX Revo from my local to the final server. I saw the wiki tutorial but it was a little bit scary for me. So I would like to share what I did:
Important Notes: I have the same exact version in both ends. I am using Revo 2.2.4-pl.
1. First I installed a fresh copy of modx in my new server, and checked it was running OK. The database I created for the new server has the same collation and character set of my local database.
2. Installed all the packages that I used at the local site.
3. Copy the assets that I need for the template (js, images, css) keeping the relative paths.
4. Logged in my local copy, clean the cache: Site > Clear Cache and flush session: Security > Flush All Sessions
5. At my local server I logged at phpMyAdmin, selected the modx database and choose the Export Tab. Here is important to choose the same scheme and character set of your databases. I also selected SQL for the format. Saved the file.
6. At the new server, in phpMyAdmin I choose the modx database and deleted all the tables. Than at the Import tab I selected the file and the right schema and imported the file. My file was small because I just added the templates and a test resources, it was about 1MB.
7. Then I crossed my fingers and navigated to the site. Everything was there!
P.S. Sorry for my english.
