It looks like your using xfactor to operate your forum and databases.
As a gameserver provider, they might not allow remote access as a security risk.

I would suggest asking them.

I don't know how it works, but I am guessing your using both a gameserver and forum/database with them? Not sure, but if on the same server, wouldn't they be able to communicate without remote permissions?

If the game and the DB server are hosted by the same IP (computer), the access point of the DB user should have access point from 127.0.0.1 or localhost. I'm not sure how the wildcards work, but AFAIK, if you'd set % as the access point, you'd be able to connect the DB server from anywhere. It is at least a moderate security risk however.

Not exactly what I was asking.

If a game server is on a rented server, and a website is also on the same rented server, but with different ip's, does remote sql permissions still have to be set up?

If they by share the same ip, I guess it wouldn't be required.

I know for a fact that they aren't hosted on the same box, and every time I've requested information regarding remote MySQL, and I've received no information. Considering my support ticket directly requesting information on this matter mysteriously disappeared, I'm going to guess that the security risks aren't worth divulging that information.

I'll try a different host, I made a website for a friend a few months ago, that site is still up, I don't think he'll mind me using a little bit of space.

I'm sorry but I have no idea what you are talking about. Impossible to fix anything with the information at hand.

AFAIK, MySQL users are identified by an IP-filter - All of them. Each user has it's own IP-filter. This means that anything that connects to MySQL database TCP/IP port, require that the login username/password and the IP-filter matches the user, even if connected locally.

"Remote permissions" from outside the MySQL hosted IP require a hole in the firewall (MySQL TCP/IP listener port) and a DB user with proper IP-filter to match the remote connection IP. "Remote permissions" locally usually do not require a firewall hole, but will still require a DB user with proper IP-filter.

Think this is what he is talking about: http://www.garena.com/

Looks like a xfire or steam type community.
Noy sure how it applies to using this mod.

THAT I understand. But still, I do not understand how can I help you to solve your problem by fixing anything in the plugin this thread is for. Are you saying that running the server without this plugin your server runs fine, and with the plugin your server hangs like you said it does?

That garena site looks like a web site that is for gaming competitors (clans etc). I have no knowledge of that site, nor do I want to get to know it better. If you want help, you have to write a short summary from system specs you hold.

Do you...
  1. have a Left 4 Dead (1 or 2) server that you can modify = add plugins?
  2. have a MySQL server and in it a database that you can modify = full access? Can you connect to the database remotely = from the game server?
You do not need a site for webstats. Your plugin and stats will work without it, but it is easier to browse the stats with the webstats.

Sorry for being so blunt.
