So i look in my logs and it says it cannot connect to the database, the plugin bans the player (kicks them out of the server with the message saying they are banned) but they can just reconnect and they dont get blocked, any ideas on how to fix this?

What have you tried to make the bans work?

The following is supposed to work, but doesn't seem to be - it's supposed to be in your server.cfg The three people I had in my ban list were removed on server reset.

/////////////////////////
//Bans
// execute banned.cfgs at server start. Optimally at launch commandline.
// Put writeip/wrtieid commands in the bottom of server.cfg AFTER banned.cfgs have loaded.
////////////
exec banned_user.cfg //loads banned users' ids
exec banned_ip.cfg //loads banned users' ips
writeip //Save the ban list to banned_ip.cfg.
writeid //Wrties a list of permanently-banned user IDs to banned_user.cfg.

These have nothing to do with sourcebans. Those are just for the regular banning that source has.

As for the other problems, have you checked to make sure your database info is correct? And that your server provider is configured to allow external connections on mysql? Like your game server can connect to your webserver's mysql server?

Ok, so it works now, i needed my provider to allow connection to the mysql, but ran into another bug.

When someone is banned, for an example mjmfighter your banned for 2 days, and after those two days you want to come back into on of my servers, you have to join the server you were banned from, because if you join another server thats connected to my sourcebans, it will reban you. not sure if this bug has been discussed before, but i will try to bring it to someones attention

Here is your
