    just upgraded to 2.31 on my local machine, running wamp, php 5.4.3 and can't log on to the manager. I have
    - cleared the cache
    - reset my password with the activation link (says the activation url doesn't match but I know it does, tried it more than once)
    - even copied the u/p/salt from an install i know works into the mysql table

    None of the above has helped or worked. Any ideas why?

        yes, even tried it in a different browser, no joy. I just upgraded my dev site on a hosting server where it works, it runs php 5.3.28, otherwise it's just the same?

          I also can't log into the manager - I could yesterday but not today (I didn't think I'd touched anything in that area)

          if I enter south-tree-models.co.uk/manager

          the url changes to south-tree-models.co.uk/[email protected] (the email address I'd set on installation as a backup email address

          and I get this message

          Not Found

          The requested URL /[email protected] was not found on this server.

          Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

          Apache Server at south-tree-models.co.uk Port 80

            Check your local server's error logs and see if there's anything relevant there.

              Did you install any plugins? Take a look at your core/config/config.inc.php file around line 37 for the manager paths and urls, mine look like this:
              if (!defined('MODX_MANAGER_PATH')) {
                  $modx_manager_path= '/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/revo231/manager/';
                  $modx_manager_url= '/revo231/manager/';
                  define('MODX_MANAGER_PATH', $modx_manager_path);
                  define('MODX_MANAGER_URL', $modx_manager_url);
              }
              


              Clear your browser's cache and cookies for the site, and also delete the entire core/cache/ directory.

                Hi - sorry it's taken a while to get back. Thank you for your help. I checked all your suggestions and everything seemed ok. In the end as it is a site with a few pages I dumped it and started again.

                I worked for many years in IT but had 2 things against me (1) I was an analyst and (2) the last 15 years were in management so I had what technical ability I had removed from my head. The one thing i do remember is that if there is a problem then always look for the last change. Unfortunately the last change was made just before the automated site backup.

                Anyway Thanks again
