    Hy,

    I made a MODx Revo site on my page which is on my server , example : www.myServerName.com/modx_project

    Now I want to copy ( or move ) that project to the clients server which is : www. myClientServerName.com

    I installed the latest Revo on his server and created the database and now I don't know what to do next.

    How to move all the sites, templates, database , packets, ... to his site ?

    Thank you

      My recommendation is to use Vapor. While it was originally intended to import sites into the MODx Cloud, it works equally well on any server.

      Upload the Vapor scripts to your old site and run them as directed here (make sure you're logged in to the Manager before running the script) https://modxcloud.com/userguide/how-tos/import-sites-with-vapor.html

      Once the script is run, you'll find in your core/packages folder a Vapor package, with the name of your site. Download the zipped package, then upload it to your new core/packages. Now simply install the package as you would any other local package from the Package Manager.

          Sorry for interrupting but I have one more question.

          I moved my whole site from to another server and it works. The problem is that I cant upload anything. This is the error:

          Unexpected token <:
Not Found
The requested URL /connectors/browser/directory.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


          I think that the error occurs because of the new URL. How to fix that ?

          Thanks
