Shut Out

[Terry O]

I changed internet service providers from a telphone company DSL account to a Fiber Optic broadband accountand ever since then, the program shuts me out. The error message I'm getting is: 

Database Error: Lost connection to MySQL server during query
File: /home/content/t/w/o/twoshadows69/html/KOTCT_FORUM/Sources/Security.php
Line: 272



How do I get back in?

HELP

[Harro]

When do you get this meesage?
Does it happen when you try to go to your site?
And you changing isp shouldn't have anything to do with your forum though. Unless you host the forum yourself.

Anyway, just a guess, but you can try repair_Settings: What is repair_settings.php?

[Terry O]

It is hosted on a MYSQL server at Godaddy. I can go to any other website except for this one. Ican go to the homepage and see it just fine. If I click the link to go to the forum...The error in the first message.

[Terry O]

I was just told by the folks at GoDaddy that it had to be a block from theither the program or my computer and if I knew what file to look for on my machine that the SMF is referencing I would either delete it or ask someone here how to fix it.

I thank anyone and everyone in advance for assisting me with this issue.

[Harro]

Can you post a link to your site so we can take a look at it?
Are you the only one with this problem or do other members on y our forum also get it?

[Terry O]

It has to be on my computer.  Everyone else can go to the forum and login. It just won't let me in.  The other administrator set me up with a new account and it sent me an email with a link to login using the new login name and password...and It still gives me the same message that it did before.  I'm thinking that their is a file on my machine somewhere that it is referencing and it is either damaged or some of the info it's looking at is not coinciding with the program itself.

[Terry O]

Does anyone have an explanation why this is doing this or a solution? It seems as though I'm the only one who can'tget into this forum. I'm sure that it is a simple fix for the person that wrote the program , if they were available.

HELP!

Have you tried using a different internet browser?

[greyknight17]

Is this happening no matter when you try it (day, evening, night)?

Probably a long shot, but try clearing your internet temp files and cookies.

[Dragooon]

I am just making a guess but since it is GoDaddy, It is possible your MySQL servers are timing out again and again.

[greyknight17]

I was also kind of leaning towards GoDaddy as well. If you still have those errors now, try contacting them to see if it's a MySQL issue on their end.

I've seen a few people on GoDaddy's hosting report this problem. After so much time of others with them not having this problem, I'm thinking that GD did some kind of work on their servers and caused this to start happening.

Sources/Security.php
Line: 272
No I'm at work the forum is online, but at home is a blank white page!

The problem is not from the browser or hosting provider. Please help us.
I read somewhere that this is forum's self protection from flood or hackers attacks, but where is the list of IP that were banned?


Please somebody to help, it is important and very unpleasantly for the users in the forum.

I think it also...

I have the same problem in my forum when someone tries to connect from an IP that it begins for 193.

Also Host in Godaddy...

[greyknight17]

Contact GoDaddy support for this. It's out of our hands...

[Don_NUTSO]

I'm not using Godaddy. 
I' m just useing that theme to tell you about my problem , so it wouldn't be necessery to post it again in future. And thats what I'm asking for

The problem is not from the hosting provider. 

There are a lot of such cases. I would understand if we were the only ones, but as you see there are a lot of written themes and posts here and in some other forums on that problem.

Don_NUTSO, there is also a known bug in MySQL that can cause the "server has gone away" error. If your MySQL server is 5.0.22 or older, then it has the bug. 5.0.27 and newer are known to work good. I don't believe the bug affected the 4.1 or 4.0 versions, so they are fine as well.

It has been my experience that the majority of this issue is caused by the MySQL bug as a lot of hosts seem to be running 5.0.18.

I don't believe the bug affected the 4.1 or 4.0 versions, so they are fine as well.

Hello, my MySQL server is 4.1 version 

[Don_NUTSO]

this is not from bug in MySQL, because non of websites on server have that problem ... when I made upgrade to 1.1.4 the problems begun ...
Where in the SQL, bans from this "forum selfprotection" are saved? how to be cleared?

rows 272, 273, 274 security.php

         AND (" . implode(' OR ', $ban_query) . ')', __FILE__, __LINE__);
         // Store every type of ban that applies to you in your session.
         while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($request))



rows 2003, 2004, 2005 in load.php
      SET data = '" . addslashes($data) . "', last_update = " . time() . "
      WHERE session_id = '" . addslashes($session_id) . "'
      LIMIT 1", __FILE__, __LINE__);

when I made upgrade to 1.1.4 the problems begun ...

What SMF version did you upgrade from? Security.php and Load.php are not changed from 1.1.2.
