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

[Tweezy]

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..

 

Dunno y

 

When setting up a database, always try using localhost first, unless stated otherwise. If the database is on the same server, then always connect locally.

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.

OK so now, the sourcebans is up. But bans ARE NOT showing up on the website and this is the error message i get in sourcebans.log

On the control panel for nfo.. IT says "Hostname: localhost (for external connections, use db.site.nfoservers.com)

Port: not needed for localhost connections; 3306 for external connections"

However, when i change DB_HOST to db.site.nfoservers.com, I can no longer go to the sourcebans website

 

Here is the databases.cfg

 

[/b]"Databases"{
"driver_default"		"mysql"

// When specifying "host", you may use an IP address, a hostname, or a socket file path

"default"
{
	"driver"			"default"
	"host"				"localhost"
	"database"			"sourcemod"
	"user"				"root"
	"pass"				""
	//"timeout"			"0"
	//"port"			"0"
}

"storage-local"
{
	"driver"			"sqlite"
	"database"			"sourcemod-local"
}


"clientprefs"
{
	"driver"			"sqlite"
	"host"				"localhost"
	"database"			"clientprefs-sqlite"
	"user"				"root"
	"pass"				""
	//"timeout"			"0"
	//"port"			"0"
}

}


}

NFO gives me the option to allow external connections, and I have them checked... I don't know where to go from here..

Like I said in the beginning, it worked fine for like 3 months.. then all of a sudden I am having issues..

If you wanna add me on steam that would be great

When you see me online today (I will be online in 5h from now), open a steam chat with me and I'll try to solve it.
