    Hi, I get an error when I try to run open manager on a local modx instance: The manager page loads all the time but do not receive anything. In cache/logs the following error is logged:
    (ERROR @ /manager/index.php) [configcheck] check core lockdown curl err: 6

    I googled it but I can't find any solution. The frontend works fine. The manager worked fine before. I run modx on a local xampp server with vhost. Do you have an suggestion?

      Okay, I solved the problem by simply delete the cookies of my session. I don't know why my cache-killer plugin doesn't the job but after I did it manually it works now. smiley Thx.

        Hm, no, it doesn't change anything - same error. Any thoughts?

          That is an issue with cURL being used to check if the core is accessible or not. Error 6 means that it couldn't resolve the host. It may be looking for "localhost" when it needs to be looking for an IP address. Or vice verse.

          Try going into the database and in the dashboard_widget_placement table delete the row for widget 5. You should probably check the dashboard_widgets table to make sure the w_configcheck widget is #5. I'm not sure this will solve your problem, but not having the widget in the dashboard at all may get you into the Manager.

          Have you tried accessing a Manager action directly, bypassing the Dashboard? Something like manager/?a=resource/update&id=1

            Hi sottwell, thx! The widget definitely was the problem, or, should I say the cause that I can't login anymore?

            Calling a specific url like your suggested 'manager/?a=resource/update&id=1' worked. I deleted the row of widget 5 in 'dashboard_widget_placement' and now I can open the homepage of the manager.

            Thank you very much!
