    Do you have version 2.3.1? That fixes a problem with the processors.

      I've been experiencing similar issues using a fresh installation of Modx 2.3.0-pl Traditional and was thinking of starting again with 2.3.1. See my posts towards the bottom of the Development Site In a Subdirectory However, from what you've just said I can see it will be a waste of time.

      I'm sorry to say, I think you may have to revert to your 2.2.x installation. I've already had 2 borked installations of the 2.3 version so far. sad

          Try deleting all files in the core/cache directory if you haven't already and clear the browser cache and cookies.

          Do you have any plugins that might be executing when a resource is saved?

            Already tried deleting core/cache and clearing browser and cookies

            Plugins that may be firing on save... possibly defaultResourceGroup.

            I am currently trying to downgrade to 2.2.15 and see if that fixes the issue

              Try adding this to the end of the defaultResourceGroup plugin:

              return '';

                • Tried this, also tried uninstalling the DRG extra and the problem persists.
                • Also tried uninstalling all extras and the problem persists.
                • I have now tried downgrading my install to 2.2.15 and the problem persists.
                • also tried fresh installs of prior versions including 2.2.13, 2.2.14, 2.2.15, 3.2 on different domains(same host) and the problem persists.
                • I also tried Godaddy's installing software which is an outdated version of MODX 2.2.8 and the problem persists.

                but...


                • I have downloaded all files and the database and got the site up and running on my local host using MAMP Pro in multiple different version (2.2.14, 2.2.15, 3.2, 3.2.1) all versions the problem does not persist
                • I have also done fresh installs of all those versions mentioned (2.2.14, 2.2.15, 3.2, 3.2.1) and the problem does not persist
                • I called Godaddy's "Tech Support" and all they are trying to do is sell me on a new hosting package without addressing the junk service they are giving me right now. I find it very interesting that they are currently doing some sort of lateral move over to their new "cPanel" servers and my "Old Server" starts acting up. Called it conspiracy theory, but I think they are trying to force everybody to pay up and move over by letting their old servers fall into disarray.

                What does anyone else think? It's gotta be my host right?

                  Do yourself a favor and switch to the cPanel hosting. One of my clients was on the old GoDaddy service and I switched them to cPanel plan. The improvement has been dramatic. The old servers are just not set up optimally to run MODX.

                    Hmm ... I'm beginning to question the decision to a host CMS on a shared server.

                    Although I've just removed all my previous installations and installed completely new 2.2.14 and 2.2.15 installations (2.2.14 via the Powweb control panel and 2.2.15 manaully as per the MODX instructions) I came up against the following error:
                    [2014-07-25 04:05:37] (ERROR in xPDOConnection::connect @ /xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/xxxx/_UDev_/WHH_modx2215/core/xpdo/xpdo.class.php : 3054) SQLSTATE[HY000] [2005] Unknown MySQL server host 'http://ridgedale.powwebmysql.com' (1)

                    Initially I had tried both ridgedale.powwebmysql.com and http://www.ridgedale.powwebmysql.com with the same result. The Powweb forums were inaccessible as they were Too Busy so I raised a chat and while I was chatting the installer was able to continue without reproducing the error using the ridgedale.powwebmysql.com server entry. :?

                    When I questioned what the server load was I was informed:
                    Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide this information.
                    Very unhelpful and frustrating.

                    The two new installations appear to be working OK as I have reset up the users but haven't gone any further yet.

                    Are there any general guidelines for hosting a CMS web platform?

                      There are decent shared hosting providers and there are not-so-great shared hosting providers. GoDaddy has definitely fallen into the 'not-so-great' category. Revo is a bit heavy on the footprint, so spending a dollar or two extra a month for decent hosting is worth it. [ed. note: sottwell last edited this post 12 years, 2 months ago.]
