SOLVED: ModX session problems in Rackspace Cloud

I was having trouble with ModX session and getting kicked out of the manager repeatedly.  There is a nice post on this issue on the ModX forum site.  I also located a solution that worked for me which is posted here as well as the ModX forum.

I saw some talk about permissions on the Rackspace cloud (Mosso).  I have been having this problem and tracked down what rackspace recommends for managing sessions via .htaccess.  Here is there example:

php_value session.gc_probability 1
php_value session.gc_divisor 100
php_value session.gc_maxlifetime 3600
php_value session.save_path /mnt/stor1-wc1-dfw1/123456/www.domain.com/web/sessions

To be sure you have the correct path, log into your site, click Features and scroll down to the Linux info and you will see your path next to Web directory

I have many sites running ModX (Evo and Rev) all on the Rackspace Cloud and have only run into this problem once… but it took me a while to figure it out.  All is well now

MODx Revolution Tips

The Revolution is here.

I installed many sites very easily with the ModX Evolution package and when I jumped into Revolution, I was salivating like a dog next to a steak. I am now moving through the 2.0 release, re-educating myself on some of the new coding and am going to keep my notes here. I definitely don’t know everything about modX so be sure to be active in these resources:

Things to rember:

Modx Revolution Chunks

Evoution => {{ChunkName}}  ::  Revolution => [[$ChunkName]]

ModX Revolution Weblinks

Evoution => [~1~]  ::  Revolution => [[~1]]

ModX Revolution Content Syntax

Evoution => [*#content*]  ::  Revolution => [[*content]]
Here is a great reference from the ModX site
Content Elements Evolution (Old) Revolution (New)
Templates no tag representation no tag representation
Template Variables [*templatevar*] [[*templatevar]]
Chunks {{chunk }}
[[$chunk]]
Snippets [[snippet]] [[snippet]]
Plugins no tag representation no tag representation
Modules no tag representation does not exist in Revolution
Content Tags
Placeholders [+placeholder+]
[[+placeholder]]
Links [~link~] [[~link]]
System Settings [(system_setting)] [[++system_setting]]
Language no tag representation [[%language_string_key]]
