Answered Setup 404

    It's difficult to know which processor that is. You could try temporarily making yourself a sudo user and flushing permissions and settings. If that fixes it, it's definitely a MODX permission issue (not a file or directory permission issue). If it doesn't, it's more likely a file or directory permission or ownership issue.

    Disabling all plugins is another thing to try. You can do it in the modx_plugins table in the DB if necessary.

      It doesn't seem to be a plugin issue, I manually disabled them all in the db table.

      Hmmm...this isn't looking good for me.

      If it requires more drastic measures I'm open to all suggestions. I hope I don't have to completely rebuild the site.

        Are you able to access any resource/elements via resource tree (quick update)?

          Actually no. Not even from the Dashboard because the Resource (sliding) panel is missing, no open/close trigger. And all the other Manager pages are blank white.

          It's a mess and I don't know why. It was working fine.

            Oddly enough even this file throws a 404. Houston, we have...


            Yes this is an htaccess permission thing and/or mgr ACL problem.

            Pages cannot be found because they are accessed wrongly.
            1. One usual culprit is accessing a site - manager or live - in one these ways: www or not www?
            2. add mgr load permission to administrator group

              Did you try making yourself a sudo user?

                User is already a sudo.

                I tried something...I removed all the current 2.4.2 folders/files from the server. Nothing MODX-related in public_html, completely fresh. Then I unzipped 2.4.3 in the site root and ran setup. Still it throws a 404.

                I also thought it might be a Cloudflare issue.

                In any case thanks for the suggestions. [ed. note: todd.b last edited this post 10 years, 6 months ago.]

                  Unless there's an .htaccess file in the root causing trouble, it almost had be a server issue.

                    I thought that, too. But I removed the .htaccess along with everything else.

                    Thanks

                      It was in fact a server issue.

                      The host had made some sudden and unexpected changes which apparently have wreaked havoc with everything from email to Web apps.
