attack
 

hi

every couple of hours, somebody attack to our data base, and then we just have "data base error" alert. what's the problem and what can we do?

ask your host to install a script that blocks ip's than exceed the normal connection rates.

What is the error?

How do you know it is an attack?
What are the symptoms of this attack?
Where are the details of the database error?

I recently had the same symptoms, and it turned out to be that server had ran out of space, and mysql could not access database

ٰTanx my frinds

i was asked from my manager of server and they answered me : you have lot of attacks from some where

I am sorry but that doesn't help much, see my previous post.

@ Marco van Herwaarden

our server admin says:

we have attacks from some where like US
but not just US

when we have lot of page wives,search wueries etc the MYSQL Has Stop on servicing and we can not worl with forum

details of database error

Database Error Database error
The P 3 0 L O R D S.COM database has encountered a problem.
Please try the following:

* Load the page again by clicking the Refresh button in your web browser.
* Open the p30lords.com home page, then try to open another page.
* Click the Back button to try another link.

The p30lords.com forum technical staff have been notified of the error, though you may contact them if the problem persists.

looks like you are getting hit by flooders by someone using a proxy, like i said, ask your host to install a script that autoblocks ip addys that exceed normal connection times.

I deal with attacks like this on a regular basis due to the nature of my forum. I have a few good friends from the clickers group that taught me all about the art of getting in and attacking. i learned how to defend my forums and sites. So if you go with my suggestion, you will prevent most of the attackers scripts. Also i strongly suggest renaming your admincp. rename it to whatever you choose. make sure the name matches the url in your config.php file

@Medtech

Care to explain, based on his information, how you come to that conclusion?

@Mahdi

Sorry but you still don't give any information.

"we have attacks from some where like US"
What attack? How are they attacking? What symptoms?

Just saying "attack" does not help in finding a solution.

Also we will need the real database error message. You can find the error details in teh email sent to your webmaster address or by viewing the source o the error page.
