CMS Modx has 2 main versions:
- Modx Evolution version 1..
- Modx Revo version 2..
The name of the base the site works with and the prefix of the tables can be found in the configuration file of the site
For Modx Evolution 1.. it is located on the following path from the site root directory
./manager/includes/config.inc.php
/var/www/www-root/data/www/testing.ru/manager/includes/config.inc.php
And for version Modx Revo 2.. it should be found by the following path from the root directory of the site
./core/config/config.inc.php
/var/www/www-root/data/www/testing.ru/core/config/config.inc.php
Open this file, for example, via File Manager, and look for lines in it:
$dbase = 'frnx_db';
$table_prefix = 'modx_';
The values in these lines denote the name of the database the site works with, frnx_db and the database table prefix modx_.
After that, we need to get into the database itself, through phpMyAdmin in the MySQL section
Find the desired database in the list and open it
