Re: Site Hacked?

  I just went to view some commercials for views and got an error message stating that Livegamer is blocked and I need to use some software to unblock it.  The software listed is: mysqladmin flush-hosts.  This is VERY disturbing.  Will this be required or is it something else?  If it is something else, I am concerned about players account information being safe.

  I have a screen print if you need me to e-mail it.  I can't seem to paste it in this thread.

  It appeared at the top of the page.

  Is the rest of the site safe?

  Thank you.

  Probably not hacked, and you don't need to do anything. It is a server side error that is getting displayed in your browser......

  By default, mysqld blocks a host after 10 connection errors. You can adjust the value by starting the server like this: shell> mysqld_safe --max_connect_errors=10000 &

  If you get this error message for a given host, you should first verify that there isn't anything wrong with TCP/IP connections from that host. If you are having network problems, it does you no good to increase the value of the max_connect_errors variable.

  Not got the message, but the vids page hasn't been able to load for nearly 4 hours now, so I guess there must be some problem and hopefully LiveGamer are looking into it.

  Hi

  I have no actual idea but I assume it's something to do between our link with them. sql stuff is a database, which maybe something that keeps link and updates views and such.

  Yes, it's server side.

  Danny got it in one.

  Too many connections made to the db throws up that error.

  Connections to the db are probably set at default which in this case is too low.

  Whoever has admin rights to the livegamer sql can increase it and thus fix the error.

  Lets see, not funny, or helpful.

   

  Is there a reason why you chose to reply at all?

  Same reason you just did.
