Topic: Host 'localhost.localdomain' is blocked.

Hello. First of all I'd like to say that I really love PunBB. I've been looking for a forum like this for a long time now. Small, easy to use and easy to modify.

But I got the following problem with one of my forums:

An error was encountered
Error: Unable to connect to MySQL server. Host 'localhost.localdomain' is blocked because of many connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'.

Forum: http://www.assen-4-all.nl/punbb/

And the weird part is that http://www.assen-4-all.nl/forum/ runs on the same database and does work. I didn't changed anything besides some details in config.php because we moved the database and forum from another server.

Any suggestions where I could look in to? I got very limited access (read: probably none) access to the MySQL server.

Re: Host 'localhost.localdomain' is blocked.

The host looks weird... Try removing ".localdomain" from the host (I assume the database-server is on the same machine as the webserver).

Re: Host 'localhost.localdomain' is blocked.

Yeah, the database is on the same server. And as for the host we tried "localhost" and "127.0.0.1" both didn't work (currently it's still 127.0.0.1, I belive).

Re: Host 'localhost.localdomain' is blocked.

Did you try what it says you should do then? mysqladmin flush-hosts
