Howto run a private package prodider?

Here is a guide explaining how to set up a package provider ?

Adido https://www.adido-digital.co.uk/ has a amazing free service to have private extra providers!

Thanks!

I got "MODX received a blank response from the provider. Please double check your service URL and make sure the provider is a valid provider."

curl is enabled and I changed $url in index.php

Any idea? [ed. note: johnxx last edited this post 11 years, 7 months ago.]

If you call the url with the package provider, you should see a basic information page. All links on that page should return an (xml) answer.

Have you changed line 131 in index.php? Forgot that hint in the readme.

Yes the line 131 $url target the index.php directory
When I call the URL, I get an error 500.
It seems to me it comes from case "update".

Could you get the PHP/Apache error log and see what is going wrong?

If not: could you make the _log folder writable and see if there occur any errors in error.log in that folder? Maybe you have to create that file.
