Hello I have some trouble installing SourceBans. I have tried both 1.4.11 and 1.5.0F and the same thing happens. I have installed the web panel that seems to work fine but it says 'Error Connecting' when I add a server. I have checked sourcebans.log and all that is there is this:


L 12/31/2014 - 22:01:58: [sourcebans.smx] Database failure: Could not find Database conf "sourcebans". See FAQ: http://sourcebans.net/node/19
L 12/31/2014 - 23:11:28: [sourcebans.smx] plugins/basebans.smx was unloaded and moved to plugins/disabled/basebans.smx

Any help is appreciated thank you.

Maybe you should follow the installation instructions: http://www.sourcebans.net/manual/#plugin_database

I'm not stupid, I have followed the instructions and my databases.cfg DOES have the configuration, the database also has proper tables etc. I've tried everything thats obvious...

I didn't said that you're stupid, I just said that you didn't followed the instructions.

Maybe your database is ready etc, but if your database.cfg is not configured SourceBans can't connect. Go on that link in my previous post and read the instructions 'Database setup'.

Extract from my databases.cfg:

"Databases"
{

    // When specifying "host", you may use an IP address, a hostname, or a socket file path

    "driver_default"        "mysql"
    
    "sourcebans"
    {
        "driver"            "mysql"
        "host"                "*******"
        "database"            "*******"
        "user"                "*******"
        "pass"                "*******"
        //"timeout"            "0"
        "port"            "3306"
    }
    
    "storage-local"
    {
        "driver"            "sqlite"
        "database"            "sourcemod-local"
    }

    "clientprefs"
    {
        "driver"            "sqlite"
        "host"                "localhost"
        "database"            "clientprefs-sqlite"
        "user"                "root"
        "pass"                ""
        //"timeout"            "0"
        //"port"            "0"
    }

You forgot a '}' at the end of the file

No, I said its an extract, so there are more databases. The last bit:

    "stamm_sql"
    {
        "driver"            "mysql"
        "host"              "*****"
        "database"          "*****"
        "user"              "*****"
        "pass"              "*****"
    }
}

OK Well. Seems like the problem is that the host won't open Port 27015. Not sure what I can do to get this working (yes it is shared hosting but to get dedicated when the site is not used much & my VDS is already over $100 monthly isn't possible). Does anybody know of any (preferably free) hosting that allows this port to be open?

Add me on steam, we can talk about sourcebans hosting.
