[404UserNotFound]

Ok so my host added the missing lib files and such.

But now I'm getting this error ;_;

L 01/27/2012 - 07:08:14: [sourcebans.smx] Database failure: [2002]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2). See FAQ: http://www.sourcebans.net/node/20

My game server and database/site are on the same box, and there was a warning about that...but this seems to be different, something to do with some "sock" file.

i r not gud wit dis sql st00f.

A question regarding "Enable Friends Banning" how exactly does this work ?
Cause if I add group banning I get the feature in the mysite/index.php?p=admin&c=bans.
But the friends feature do not appear there, so is that a feature that do not work ?
Or does it work in a diff way than group bans ?
Like if I ban myself and a friend tries to connect he gets added to the ban list ?

Hey, I'm wondering if I could get some minor assistance regarding Sourcebans. I currently have multiple game-servers running on one physical server so I have multiple Server IDs to assign to a single sourcebans.cfg. Is there any easy way around this?

Thank you to any who can offer some solution.

Fire up each server from within a different game directory..each instance from its own location. That's the only way you will get around that and other problems.

Server id's go here /cstrike/addons/sourcemod/configs/sourcebans/sourcebans.cfg
Not in the database.cfg

PHP Code:

        // This is the ID of this server (Check in the admin panel -> servers to find the ID of this server)
        "1"        "1" 


So basically same database.cfg on all servers then just assign the id in the sourcebans.cfg

That's basically right, but the key for the ServerID has to stay the same:

PHP Code:

        // This is the ID of this server (Check in the admin panel -> servers to find the ID of this server)
        "ServerID"        "1"

Enabling that feature adds a new option to the banlist next to each ban in the slidedown. You'll be able to ban all friends of a banned player.

Try setting the "host" field in your databases.cfg from "localhost" to "127.0.0.1". This still points to the same machine, but uses the IP protocol instead of the direct socket one.
If that fails, ask your host to create a symlink of the mysql.sock in the directory in the error: /tmp/mysql.sock

Thanks. Last time I added it I did not see it, so I got worried that it was a auto feature that banned all friends of the user.
Got it working this time.

Problem is Checkster, that all 3 servers use the same sourcebans.cfg file.

I was hoping not to have to use separate game-folders due to the ease of updating/editing combined servers as one.

Is there absolutely no way around this, or possibly to add a feature to allow multiple IDs from IPs instead (maybe via the fact they all come from different ports e.g. 27015-27017)?


Edit: After searching around, the argument, +sm_basepath addons/sourcemod2 may be a half-solution to my problem but would still mean editing/updating each SourceMod folder separately for every plugin update (unless I used symlinks which would probably introduce new problems).

[DJ Tsunami]

Please read http://wiki.alliedmods.net/Multiple_...rs_(SourceMod). SourceMod doesn't support multiple servers running from one installation, so neither will SourceBans. That page even mentions symlinks as a solution, but you probably shouldn't symlink the data, configs, gamedata and logs folders.

[11530]

Yea I did read that earlier Tsunami. I'll just be symlinking the plugins folder for now, and use the +mm_pluginsfile addons/metamod/metaplugins1.ini +sm_basepath addons/sourcemod1 arguments for separate SM installs. Seems to work well enough for my needs after a few soft/hard links here and there. Maybe one day TF2 will be like L4D in running true forked servers.

Thanks for your assistance.

As for the SourceBans plugin, keep up the excellent work guys! It's absolutely a fine piece of work.


Edit:
Whilst I'm here, I want to point out a couple of errors. If you sign out using another tab, then click a link in the original tab, you'll get the following message I think needs touching up. Just an apostrophe and capitalization here and there.

You shoudnt be here. looks like we messed up ><

Secondly, you should make mention that your proposed database.cfg in the script isn't always correct. Not everyone's MySQL socket lies in the /tmp folder. Mine (using ArchLinux) lies in /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock so I had to change the host setting from localhost to /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock for it to work.

Lastly, could you possibly make it so the ban reason is taken from the entire string after the 3rd argument if quotes aren't used?

Thank you.
