    I just migrated a new site from our staging server to a Client's server at GoDaddy. Ran through the migration process as normal, re-ran setup. Site is working fine, no issues. However, the manager has some kinks.


    • Resource Tree Missing
    • Links load blank manager frames
    • Some of the styling in the manager look to be off (no line separator in main nav, little things like that

    Steps Taken So Far

    • Renamed /core/cache to _cache and created my own cache with 755
    • tried the compress_js solution
    • prayed

      Solved

      It was the compress_js & compress_css giving the issue. However, when I changed it in the database, I should've deleted the cache folder. When I navigated to core/cache/system_systems/config.cache.php - I noticed both of those were still set to '1'. Changed them to '0' and boom. Fixed manager.

      Damn you GoDaddy

        I some how lost my Elements display. All I was doing was editing a template. I tried the above solution of editing the config.cache.php file. The compress_js & compress_css were set to '1' so I changed them to '0' and save it. No luck. any suggestions anyone? GoDaddy again, and they were no help except to direct me here. I am very new to this, learning from the book and on line tutorials. No help except here.

          You need to change the settings in the system_settings table of the database, then go to your core/cache folder and delete all the folders inside the core/cache folder (don't worry, MODx will generate them again automatically). It's also a good idea to clear your browser cache and cookies for the domain.

            Thanks Susan, Just before I got back to read this I tried some of the other suggestions I noticed on the blog. Clear Cache, Remove Locks etc. Then I refreshed with the Dashboard link and it was back.
            I copied this blog into my OneNote for future reference. Thanks again.

                  I'm running into a VERY similar issue with MODX 2.2.7 running on MODX Cloud. The only thing my manager shows is the top menu. A few things to note:


                  • compress_css and compress_js are both set to 0
                  • I've manually cleared the cache in core/cache a couple of times, along with clearing my browser cache and cookies. No dice.

                  The front-end of the site is working just fine, so this is definitely a manager issue. Does anyone have any further suggestions?

                    I had this issue for 2 full days...

                    I have cleared all the caches, site/browser
                    I have disabled the manager compress_js/css
                    I have disabled staticache
                    I have disabled some plugins
                    I have reinstall the same version like an upgrade,
                    I have tried to upgrade to latest one,
                    I have install a fresh one with same version, and tried to combine my site like an upgrade (didn't work)

                    Like I was about the tier myself...

                    I remember my domain was using cloudflare !
                    I ve login cloudflare, pause the service and BAM!!!

                    Suddenly it all came back...
                    For those who had the same error like this
                    "get rid of the cloudflare!"

                    Now I have paused all the cloudflare services in it,
                    because if It happens again some time later,
                    I would forget the reason and will try to solve it all from beginning

                    I hope it saves you as well... smiley
