Elbitz.net Help!!

[losthero]

I entered the wrong password in twice and now my home IP is banned. How can I contact admin to tell them it was a typing error?!! They are really strict. If they check the successful logins it's the same IP?!

[technodrome]

once you change your ip, and then choose "recover lost password" option into the login page

[losthero]

The site seems to be down. Have you tried logging on?

[BkBaby]

there is an error page popping up, so i think site is down in general. It probably does not have anything to do with your pw.

[technodrome]

can't reach the site. i guess site is down..

[Cabalo]

yes, the site is having some sql issues.

[losthero]

phew! thanks for the responses!

[1129] dbconn: mysql_pconnect: Host '64.92.175.242' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'

I hope they will be back soon.

just tried the unblock with the 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' thingo. Gives me the impression that it should be cleared on my computer (Flush-hosts). Having no tech knowledge whatsoever,and without insulting any other responders,will someone please inform me how to unblock it with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'as suggested. Or why it would tell us how
to unblock it and reconnect, if the site is is actually down? I've been a daily Elbitz user for a year, have had previous down times, but never
one this long. Please advise, before I throw the computer out of the window, and get my grandson to teach me how to use a mobile phone and an iPod instead. Thanks in anticipation.

dbconn: mysql_pconnect: Host 'my IP address' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'

The error code is helpful for the admins of the site and actually not meant for users (of the site)
it pertains to an SQL error and could mean many things
my best guess is they were working on the code and generated an error or they are getting dossed (which I doubt)
on a live server it is sometimes a security risk (and an embarrassment) if your error messages are displayed to the public. From the PHP manual:
Note: You’re strongly advised to use error logging in place of error displaying on production web sites.

Many thanks to TACHYONN,for saving my computer and window. Will consider changing my username to 'Technical Dickhead'
