External database blocked?

Post by dieasone »

I just ported my old server over to the new NFO server but for some reason all of my plugins that utilize MySQL databases on our clan website (on our own hardware, not NFO's) no longer function. The website is set to allow MySQL connections from the NFO server but they still are unable to connect.

Are you guys blocking it on purpose?

We don't block connections to external databases. You may need to have your 3rd party database host add a more permissive mask, such as for *.nuclearfallout.net; many server plugins fail to bind to the server IP and connect from the main machine instead.

Well, that didn't work. But it did cause me to go looking through the logs and I ran across

Code: Select all

L 11/26/2010 - 02:30:38: [CLIENTPREFS] [1045]: Access denied for user 'usernamehere'@'c-216-52-148-192.internap-chicago.nfoservers.com' (using password: YES)
Adding that address to my remote MySQL list worked like a charm. Thanks!
