mysqladmin flush-hosts

Post by memcached »

Getting this error on my website. Running that command requires shell access as far as I know, which I don't have. Any help?

1129 - Host 'hosted13.nfoservers.com' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'

The latest version of MySQL, unlike prior versions, bans IPs that try to connect with the wrong password, and it does so after only 10 failed attempts. As a result, we're seeing more complaints of this nature.

I recommend that you connect using "localhost" or "127.0.0.1" from the local server instead of "hosted13.nfoservers.com". This should prevent you from having to worry about someone else locking you out; MySQL does not appear to limit these types of local connections.
