    I have a problem that happens from time to time.
    MODX Revo 2.2.5pl
    MySQL 5.1.63-0ubuntu0.10.04.1

    The page is white only (nothing loaded) and in the error log it says following:

    [2012-10-26 08:13:19] (ERROR in xPDOConnection::connect @ /home/vds/public_html/clients/client1/web2/web/core/xpdo/xpdo.class.php : 2999) SQLSTATE[HY000] [2013] Lost connection to MySQL server at 'waiting for initial communication packet', system error: 95

      Could be an overloaded server, taking too long to respond to a database query. Are you on shared hosting?

        The site is on a virtual server with one modx revo installation on it. But since it is just a virtual server I havent got a clue how many other sites sharing the same hardware.

          Hm. A virtual server shouldn't have any problem handling one Revo installation. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about server configurations will have some ideas.
