recent server upgrade but getting mysql error...

« MODx Parse Error »
When I go to a page that I know is "clearly" there...ie has been created and published, I am getting this error...

Recently we performed a major server upgrade and have multiple sites with modx installed on it. However this seems to be the only site that is not working correctly.

Any ideas on what causes this problem? Permissions maybe? db corruption?(i’ve run mysql repairs on the db already without any result)

----------------------
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

Thanks In advance.

Here’s a possible cause

Someone has removed the Unix socket file that mysqld uses (/tmp/mysql.sock by default). For example, you might have a cron job that removes old files from the /tmp directory. You can always run mysqladmin version to check whether the Unix socket file that mysqladmin is trying to use really exists. The fix in this case is to change the cron job to not remove mysql.sock or to place the socket file somewhere else. See Section B.1.4.5, “How to Protect or Change the MySQL Unix Socket File”.
