I recently decided to play around with MODX, installing the traditional package. Loved everything about it, so I wiped the traditional package off and reinstalled using the advanced package so I could have a clean separation of the core dir.
However, something didn't go right and I can't figure out what.
I'm running on with a LAMP stack on Ubuntu 14.04 with Apache 2.4.7, PHP 5.5.9, mySQL 5.5.37
From the advanced install pack zip of MODX Revo 2.2.14, I did the following:
- copied contents of "core" dir into /var/www/modx-core/
- copied contents of "setup" dir into /var/www/modx/
- updated ownership/groups for both dir (www-data)
- using Chrome 35, visited my domain (currently has a subdomain tied to it) and MODX install screen was pulled up and I went through the following screens:
- 1 - Core Location -> input core path shown above
- 2 - Language -> used EN default
- 3 - Configuration key -> changed configuration key to a more unique name
- 4 - Install options -> used defaults [New install, 0755/0644 permissions, 2 unchecked boxes]
- 5 - Connection information -> input my mysql connection info, named db modx_1, connection test successful, character set & collation selected to be utf8, database created, admin setup
- 6 - Context installation -> changed default paths to be /var/www/modx/[ |manager|connectors], left urls as default
- 7 - Installation summary -> All green!
- 8 - Installation summary -> All green, no warnings.
At this point when I click "Next" on that last page, the screen goes blank with only the title in the <head> having something there (<body> is empty).
If I go to http://domain/manager, I get some HTML elements for the login, but all the CSS, JS & images are missing and with a bunch of 404 errors being thrown. Most all of them seem to be tied to the fact that they URL they are trying to pull resources from starts with
http://domain/manager/manager/... For some reason, manager is in there twice. I went into the core and changed the URL, removing the default "manager/" and replacing it with simply "/", but then the resources didn't look under manager at all.
Has anyone else encountered this before?
