Sometimes you need to move your modx installation to a new server. I often do it when I finished developing on my local MAMP server, and need to test it on the web server and add content.

If you ever tried moving ModX you’ll know that there is a lot of potential errors when moving, especially with the cache files, that can really mess things up.

I just found another

I’m testing the new (and potentially excellent) Extra Articles on ModX 2.2.

When moving to my web server I did all the usual things, and everything worked fine – except articles. It initially completely disappeared and reemerged after a reinstall of articles in the package manager. But sadly still didn’t work.

Finally I located the mistake: Articles has it’s own path setting stored in the modx_system_settings table in your database.

Editing that value cleared things right up
