Need help moving modx to goDaddy

    I've read a lot on here but am still having a lot of trouble moving my mods site from dreamhost to goDaddy. Here is what I did:

    1. Installed new version of mods on goDaddy
    2. Copied over my asset files
    3. dropped the default database
    4. imported my database (was successful)
    5. Edited the core path in mods workspaces to be the absolute url

    The problem is when I go to log-into the site at elementwellnesschicago.com/manager I see 

    Fatal error: Call to a member function get() on a non-object in /home/t36462941/public_html/core/model/modx/modmanagerresponse.class.php on line 41

Fatal error: Undefined class constant 'LOG_LEVEL_ERROR' in /home/t36462941/public_html/core/model/modx/error/moderrorhandler.class.php on line 111


    I am not a programer or developer and know very little about php or databases. I would be SUPER grateful if someone could very clearly explain to me what I'm doing wrong.

      GoDaddy is known to be difficult with MODx.

      That said, try uploading the setup directory again and running the setup in Upgrade mode.

        Also be aware that on GoDaddy, sometimes site caching gets messed up due to permissions (I believe GoDaddy's servers have issue with cache_flag), which results in "white site" syndrome in my experience

        Those errors look like the modx class, or parts of it, are not loading, so the previous suggestion of running setup in Upgrade many times fixes it (or points out what issues there may be, like directory and file permissions on key items).
