        What new one are you trying to change it to? That's the current one.

        If you've got a custom one, make sure to create a new one, as the default one may get overridden on upgrade.

            If you've got a custom one, make sure to create a new one, as the default one may get overridden on upgrade.

            If I want to download Extras, then the Category list is empty and after a while it gives an error message:
            An error occurred while connecting to the Provider: MODX received a blank response from the provider. Please double check your service URL and make sure the provider is a valid provider.

            At the moment there is an address:
            http://rest.modx.com/extras/
            which seems to be not working (because, when I try to reach that address in browser, then it says: The page you were looking for doesn't exist).

            That's why I tried to add a new provider - http://modx.com/extras/
            But no effect. Revo shows that it is saving the new provider, but after a while the Add New Provider window stays open and no new provider is saved.

            I tried even to delete the old address and then add new one, but it ended to me with a new install. Because I wasn't able to add new nor restore the old one.

            Seems to me, that the only one solution is to try to install Extras in manual way?
            Or any permission conflicts?

              The correct address is rest.modx.com/extras/. It is a RESTful server, and thus cannot be accessed by regular requests. http://rest.elkstein.org/2008/02/what-is-rest.html

                thanx softwell!

                but why then it doesn't show any packages and gives an error message?:
                An error occurred while connecting to the Provider: MODX received a blank response from the provider. Please double check your service URL and make sure the provider is a valid provider.

                  Could be the provider was down. It happens from time to time. Working fine for me now.
