Sourceban website - Can't connect to MySQL server on 'xxxxxxxxxxxx.com' (4)

[Labarr]

Hello,

I helped a friend setup sourcebans for his server and now all of a sudden No one can connect to the website. WE get the error message

 

[b]Warning: mysql_connect() [[url="http://db.site.nfoservers.com/bans/function.mysql-connect"]function.mysql-connect[/url]]: Can't connect to MySQL server on 'db.site.nfoservers.com' (4) in[b]/usr/www/db/public/bans/includes/adodb/drivers/adodb-mysql.inc.php on line [b]358
Can't connect to MySQL server on 'db.site.nfoservers.com' (4) 

SQL Query type: CONNECT
Script: '/bans/index.php'
SQL Query: db.site.nfoservers.com

[/b][/b][/b][b][b][b]SQL Params: db_sourcebans
[/b][/b][/b]

 

Any idea why it is doing this all of a sudden?

This is a mySQL error when the database details provided are incorrect. Have you got the correct DB username, password and name correct?

Has it been working before? Also, make sure that the user where the database is stored as all the correct privileges.

Should be fixed by now, or at least be fixed soon. I see you are on a DB server from NFO, which is being DDoSed as the last day or two. They have it under control (or close to), so no stress.

Or what Nishok said haha. Hope it gets fixed soon for you man

I just checked everything in databases.cfg and then config.php... they are all matching up... I'm lost :

Ok so I got it to work again.. Strange...

 

I had to change the host on both the config.php and databases.cfg from xxxxx.com to localhost..

Could be because either:

- External connection is disallowed.

- Because of the DDoS external connections are hard to maintain, so through internal connection there is no interruption.

- Or something else I missed.
