Did you run setup at the new site (yoursite.com/setup)? If not -- do so.

Do you have this tag in the head section of all templates?



Try deleting all files in the core/cache directory, then clearing your browser cache and cookies (or using incognito or private mode in the browser).

Is that a default server 404 error message, or the MODX error message?

<base href="[[++site_url]]">

I've done all this. I'm really at a loss.

The default server 404 message, I believe.

Me too. When you can access the Manager but not the front end, it's almost always an issue with the .htaccess file, since it doesn't affect the Manager.

Is there an index.html or index.htm file in the site root (there shouldn't be)?

If you transferred the files individually with FTP, you may have a missing or corrupted file.

Are you sure that you have disabled Friendly URLs in the System Settings, then cleared the cache to make sure that all the links in your site are now in the the default "index.php?id=xx" form?

Ironically, this just happened to me. The issue was the Rewrite Base line in the .htaccess file in the MODX root. Is your site in a subdirectory by any chance?

Can you reach the home page by just going to yoursite.com?

No, it just shows the folder in which the site resides.

What exactly do you mean by that?

OK, that worked! Now the friendly URLs are gone. How do I get them back?

There are only two steps to turning them back on. Rename the ht.access file in the MODX root to .htaccess and revert that friendly_urls System Setting to yes (then manually delete all files in the core/cache directory before testing).

Now that you've determined that the site works with FURLS off, if it doesn't work with FURLS on, the problem must be either in your .htaccess file (usually the Rewrite Base line), or a configuration problem at the host (usually because the Rewrite Engine is disabled or the host has things set up to ignore .htaccess).

Stuff like this is exactly why I always go with MODX Friendly Hosts. They usually don't cost any more, and even if they did, my time is worth too much to mess with a host that makes you jump through frustrating hoops to run MODX.
