Possibly some files didn't make it all the way into the installation. I use this install.php script, which takes care of downloading and placing all the necessary files for you. https://github.com/sottwell/installer
That seems to have solved it, thank-you, I shall now use this script for all future new installs.
Just two comments :
- please update the readme to reflect that the permissions line is now 184, and I needed 0775.
- I also changed line 205 to read mmkdir instead of mkdir.
You might also try UpgradeMODX for upgrades. It's a dashboard widget that's a convenient wrapper for the install.php script. It lets you upgrade MODX from within the Manager with a few clicks. It also handles sites with a moved and renamed core and a renamed Manager folder.
I must be really dumb. I deleted the 2.5.0 installation, removed tables from MySQL db, installed 2.4.4. Everything OK until login and bam: the manager directory is empty again.
I am getting frustrated.
I don't want to sun the install script provided above, because the db and site is shared with a wp installation, and I want to control where the files are placed.
Hello, I have similar problem - I made webdsite, all worked fine, except modx-2.5.0-pl in url, normaly I have site on my server, but client want to stay on his hosting, so people from hosting set up .htaccess and after that were unable login to manager.
After change RewriteEngine Off in manager/.htaccess it logs in, but no sidebar shown and manager is unlogging me after click on menu. Could be $modx_manager_path relative instead absolute defined by hosting path?
