vb.org Archive - View Single Post - Emergency: Database Error

DownNout87 · #1 12-06-2013, 10:11 PM

This morning, I attempted to update my forum to vbulletin 4.2 and I ended up with a database error.

Host 'xxxxx.hostgator.com' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'

I contacted hostgator and they have no idea what a flush is or how to do it. They said it was a config file issue.

My IT guy checked the config file and everything seems fine. He said hostgator should be able to fix it.

My last resort is performing a backup restore from a week ago but I want to make sure I don't overwrite any of the database (all the posts).

Does anyone have any suggestions or can help me out? I'm receiving a ton of database error emails every minute and it's very frustrating that no one can help me out.

To add to the frustration, my IT guy has gone MIA for the past 2 hours and hasn't answered my texts or phone calls.
