yea - I tried that... no dice.

- I added a call to a chunk on the home page

[[!getResources?
  &parents=`34,35`
  &hideContainers=`1`
  &tpl=`latestPostsTpl`
  &limit=`5`
  &sortby=`publishedon`
]]

saved, then created the chunk

<li>
  <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a>
  [[+publishedon:notempty=`<br /> - [[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b %d, %Y`]]`]]
</li>

changes were not appearing - so I cleared the cache via admin.
the site now returns a blank page only...

I went into the database and deleted the content for both the call I added to the homepage and the content for the chunk I created ...

still no page...

I then backed up the cache folder & recreated it [with the same permissions/ownership]

page is still blank

HELP!!!!

I just did a graceful restart of the webserver and the site is now visible.

- I am running an instace of xCache on the server ... does anyone know if there are issues between modx & xccache?

Caching utils can definitely have an influence on MODX’s behavior... I guess the best thing to do is to disable them. MODX caches itself already, so you should be fine without it.
