was there anymore lines for the error? usually there is a trace of where the error occurred and then what functions where called.

I think it might be because there is no reason given. Try adding this to line 273 of addons/ulx/lua/includes/modules/sourcebans.luasourcebans.lua

Code: [Select]

reason = reason or "";

Is getting the message normal? I get it like every 5 minutes.

[12/13/12 13:01:28][SourceBans.lua] The server has lost connection to the database. Retrying...

[centran]

You shouldn't be getting it that often. MySql will close a connection after many hours of inactivity not minutes.
Did you set up your mysql DB yourself? Sounds like the timeout might have been shortened.

One problem - All my bans from the three GMod servers are being classed as banned from TF2. Any solution?

You probably have the wrong server ID in your sourcebans config file. That or you didn't set the server up right in sourcebans.

I'm having a problem with getting this to load.  I get the following error in server console despite the files (and sql module) existing in the directories:

As a base you will want to install the sourceban module found here http://lexi.org.uk/modules/sourcebans.lua
Create the following directory and place the file in there. addons/ulx/lua/includes/modules/

Are you SURE you got all the files, and followed the instructions for what lines to edit/replace within sourcebans.lua?

That error you post seems to indicate you don't have it in the right place, or if you do, didn't follow the rest of his instruction for editing and creating a config file.

[centran]

Make sure sourcebans.lua is going in addons/ulx/lua/includes/modules
and sourcebans_init.lua is going in addons/ulx/lua/ulx/modules/

Couldn't include file 'includes/modules/sourcebans.lua' (File not found) (@addon
s/ulx/lua/ulx/modules/sourcebans_init.lua (line 5))

That is the problem right there. File not found. It isn't finding the main sourcebans module. You either forgot to add that or put it in the wrong dir or maybe you misspelled a dir name?

Cool, it works! Thanks :3

I messed up the paths 

EDIT: It loads but its not working.  I banned myself from the Sourcebans website and i was able to connect to server.  Then i banned myself through ULX (after doing the edits to replace ULX ban function with Sourceban function) and the Sourcebans website didnt show my ban.

SQL ports are working because on the same box, my other servers use Sourcebans with no problem.

Got it working on my servers ok. (TTT & The Stalker)
However there is one big problem, Voteban will cause the server to crash.

Every time a voteban is made and passes the server will crash with this error.

12:05:16 [ULX] Mr.Zerhot approved the voteban against muymakina (280 minutes) (ghosting)
12:05:16 Lua Error: addons/ulx/lua/includes/modules/sourcebans.lua:272: string expected, got no value

Guessing that is more of a Sourcebans problem though, since line 272 needs the info for the Admin who done the ban.
And since it is a donator on the server and not a server Admin then there is no Admin info for them in the Sourcebans setup.

Try changing lin 272 to

Code: [Select]

local adminID, adminIP = getAdminDetails(admin) or "";

You sure it is loading? You should see in console it says [SourceBans.lua] Starting the database. and then when you connect it should show all the admins you have in sourcebans being loaded.

Any errors in the console you can see?

I take it ya ment line 270 as it is the line that says

Code: [Select]

local adminID, adminIP = getAdminDetails(admin);
I changed that to

Code: [Select]

local adminID, adminIP = getAdminDetails(admin) or "";
And done a voteban against myself, I was banned from the server (Lan one), however it still gave the error.

Lua Error: addons/ulx/lua/includes/modules/sourcebans.lua:272: string expected, got no value

The server did not crash, however as I said it was just a lan based one so it was only me on it, so the lack of 23 other players might have had something to do with that.
It also did not write the ban to sourcebans (it writes them fine using !ban)

Yes its loading, it says starting the database and im even able to use sm_ban.  But no bans are being read or written to the database.
