    Hello,

    We have a site that we've been running in MODx evolution 1.0.4. Recently, we noticed that the manager login page would display the error Username / Password incorrect even when the correct user/password was used. After updating to 1.0.8 yesterday it worked properly for a single login and then started giving us the error message again. After looking into the logs on the server (we have shared hosting with Rackspace) I noticed the login process is failing when attempting to connect to the database:

    PHP Warning:  mysql_query() [<a href='function.mysql-query'>function.mysql-query</a>]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) in /.../manager/processors/login.processor.php on line 69
    PHP Warning:  mysql_query() [<a href='function.mysql-query'>function.mysql-query</a>]: A link to the server could not be established in /.../manager/processors/login.processor.php on line 69
    PHP Warning:  mysql_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in /.../manager/processors/login.processor.php on line 70


    The strange thing is, the rest of the site is working fine, and using a forgotten password email link logs us in just fine as well. Has anyone run into this? Any ideas to get the manager login back up and working?

    Thanks,
    Niko
