Answered Path error with Asset Manager (Assman) extra following migration

I migrated a Revolution 2.3.2 site which runs the Asset Manager extra to a new location on the same server. All seems well however selecting a Resource to edit results in error:



This relates specifically to the Asset Manager extra, line 179 of PageController.php is:



The MODX Error Log contains:



Clearly there is no path separator, C:inetpubvhostsdomain.comsubdomainsstage should be C:inetpub/vhosts/domain.com/subdomains/stage but I can't figure how the path is generated or why it should fail following migration.

I un-installed and re-installed the Asset Manager Extra but this does not help and none of the assman System Settings appear to be relevant.

Can anyone help with this?

Actually this sounds like another instance of the workspaces issue, which I've never been able to resolve.

For some reason, when moving from one server to another packages seem to retain the actual servername in the path that MODX uses to access the packages. Under normal circumstances the servername is not even necessary, which is why this is such a strange issue.

The only way I've gotten this to effectively resolve is to uninstall packages one by one (each version) till there are no more versions to uninstall. Then, remove the package entirely. First within the MODX manager, and then check that the transport.zip and package folders are completely gone from the core/packages folder. Clear the core/cache files and reinstall/MODX.

I recall someone else rewriting the workspaces table setting to an absolute url, which worked but would be incorrect. The {core_path} really should work fine if MODX didn't want to look at a path that included the servername for some wacky reason.

check the path in the Assman entry in the modx_extension_packages System Setting (if there is one).

Genius, thank you. System Settings > System & Server: extension_packages was:



But should be:



With this updated I can view Resources without error.

On a separate note I notice under Namespaces the Assets Path for assman is:



This must relate to Everett's development environment and is the same in both the original site and the in the new location it was migrated to. It doesn't seem to affect the Extra though.

@Frogabog I didn't see your response until after I'd replied to BobRay. The symptoms were similar to the workspaces issue. I'd already tried rolling Asset Manager back 1 version (there have been two releases at the time of writing) and re-installing but didn't check that the transport.zip and package folders were completely gone.

Is there anything in assets/components/assman? If not, it probably doesn't use its assets path for anything.

Yes, /assets/components/assman/ contains directories css, images and js with a few files in each.

The code probably uses MODX_ASSETS_PATH, which is correct (or $modx->getOption('assets_path') ). I'm not sure the namespace assets path is ever used for anything at present.

2 1/2 years later this has just helped us out no end. Thanks Bob and Chris !
