UBan -- Global ban system. Ban users from all servers connected to a single DB!

[JamminR]

That error is actually being returned from your MySQL server. not UBan itself. UBan just forwards it on to you when it gets the error from your SQL server.
I don't know enough MySQL to offer where to look, what settings to check, etc, but if you just started having the problem, I'd look into what all you have running from your MySQL server, and verify no other problems exist. Or if your setting for maximum connections is low, raise it a few.
If it's already pretty high.... I'd investigate it possibly being exploited/DDOS'ed

Hi,

When I try to ban someone I get this message

Code: [Select]

Dropped Piggy|PH|www.e-FRAG.co.uk| from server (Kicked by Console :  Banned on global ban list)
05:12:47 L 09/17/2009 - 05:12:44: Lua Error: Timer Error: autorun/server/uban.lua:198: MySQL server has gone away
I think either the sql server is timing out or something but I'm not to sure.

Any help is appreciated.

Here's a version that should work with ulx svn. Can someone using ulx svn test it and report back? I don't have a setup to test uban with anymore. Major thanks to our own Trab for reporting that this needed fixing.

Sorry for bumping an old post, but i'll test it soon with ulx svn.

Hey, i installed the SVN version of UBan and i keep getting this error;

Code: [Select]

UBan failure. Error is: addons\uban\lua\autorun\server\uban.lua:137: MySQL server has gone away
Disconnect: Kicked by Console :  Banned on global ban list.

Is there any way to fix this?

Try changing "local persistent = true -- Use a persistent MySQL connection?" in autorun/server/uban.lua to read false instead of true.

I don't understand why this is dead but...

I get that for ingame !gban as well. It doesn't seem to work at all, anyhelp please?

EDIT: Downloaded v1.1 and now the command ulx gban doesnt even work.

It appears you're only installing one of the files. Make sure you install both of the files, or it's not going to work.

Are there errors on startup? Do you have the SQL module installed?
