Resource Not Saving

For some really odd reasons, the resources in one particular section of my site would not save. Whenever I make an edit to a resource, it would stall for like a minute and then loaded up a blank page. I assume that it got time out. Nothing is save. I can't even delete the resource. It would also load up a blank page.

I haven't ran into this problem in the past; therefore, I can't track down what is going on. I sat on this for three days and still can't figure out the issue. Have anyone ran into similar situation? Perhaps some permission issues?

I am running MODX Evo 1.0.6.

Thanks for your help.

Never had that b4, all I can come up with is problem with double alias names allthough doubt that one, or try database repair in phpmyadmin?

Yes, I did repair the database. I also cleared the cache, but haven't deleted the files in the cache. Is that save to do so?

No need for manual cleaning.
When cleaning cache files like: docid_x.pageCache.php are deleted.

/assets/cache needs these files:
siteCache.idx.php
sitePublishing.idx.php
rss
.gitignore

It's very possible that this is related to mod_security on the server: http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/What_is_mod_security_and_how_does_it_affect_me

There can be words inside the text that will be filtered by mod_security before post and reject the post if it is there. Best case is to have it disabled if it is there.

If it's just a single Resource, it's almost certainly modx_security. If you're curious, you can delete paragraphs one at a time until it goes away and, once you find the paragraph, delete a sentence at a time, then words in the offending sentence. Sometimes it's a command word like Select or delete. Other times, it's just a word your host doesn't like casino or viagra.

I read recently someone concluded it was the word "Form" that blocked the user.

Somebody else had a problem with the word "select".

Thank you so much for your responses. Unfortunately turning on SecFilterEngine doesn't solve the problem. This is the error that I get after turning on SecFilterEngine



I am not having a problem with just one resource, but all resources under one container (directory). I can't edit and can't delete any of those resources. It doesn't seem like saving gets input into the database. Please advise.

I figured out the cause. The template, let say "a," is longer working. When I created a new templete called "a-new", copy and paste the exact codes from "a" to "a-new," the resource saves fine when I switch to "a-new."

There's no different between the two other than their IDs. The codes are exactly the same. While changing to "a-new" works, I would prefer fixing "a" so that I don't have to change thousands of pages from "a" to "a-new."

Could someone advise on how to fix template "a"?

Thanks,
