    Hey there,

    I've updating my MODX Revolution Installation from 2.2.1 to 2.2.6.
    The updating process worked fine for me. No error messages, nothing of those. Everything was green…

    After the update I've got an 500 Error.
    Front-End and Manager-Backend… both 500.

    I've checked the permissions and the .htacces file. Everything looks ok.
    I don't update the packages before, is it possible that this is my problem now?

    Can I update the packes manually?
    I've tried to disable the packes via phpMyAdmin, but the result is the same.

    Hope for your answers. (:

    Kind regards,
    z.

      Check your web server logs. You should see the problem there. Good Luck

        It's usually advised to update your packages before you attempt such a big upgrade. that said, I hope you backed up your previous MODX install and the files just in case things don't improve.

        I would try the following things first :


        • manually empty the core/cache folder (delete everything in it)
        • clear the browser cache
        • Login to the manager

        If these steps don't work,

        [li]upload the new files again (sometimes not all files get uploaded)[/li]
        [li]manually empty the cache folder[/li]
        [li]rerun the setup script.[/li]

        Please post your results here so we can all take a look.

        I hope these steps work, because my next suggestion, although effective, is the one I usually try to avoid.
