No, as of right now you have to go to the page and input the ban.. it should work in the in game browser, if you have an admin mod that can bring up the page for you.

I plan on adding support for banning from ingame, but I don't know how long it will take.

Thanks, appreciate the help.

Hey, great plugin though doesn't seem to be banning me when i join as it should. Could you take a look at my settings and tell me if anything is wrong? Cheers

AMXBans is fully installed btw

I'm fairly sure my webserver is hosted on linux - my game server is on linux FC4

Website
I created a "plugin" directory in the main directory of amxbans. Created a temp directory - both chmod'ed to 777 (for the moment)

Put getupdates.php and config.php file in the "plugin" directory (step up from temp directory)

I have php 4.3.8 so i'm running in "text" mode as you describe it

Config file settings (DB stuff is correct so not included for obvious reasons)

    //Path to a temporary directory.. PHP must be able to write to this direcotry.
    $temp_path = "/*****/amxbanssource/plugin/temp/";
    
    //The number of hours that each server must wait before updating. 
    //This does not override the svar on the actual game server.
    //If they update more frequently then this, they get the old update file.
    $min_repeat = 0;
    
    //What are the table names for the ban and banhistory tables?
    //These are the default ones.
    $ban_table = "amx_bans";
    $unban_table = "amx_banhistory";

    //If you have php5 and the correct modules installed (php_pdo, php_pdo_sqlite)
    //Then you can set this to 1, and we will distribute sqlite update files instead.
    $use_sqlite = 0;

Note this is running off my ISP webspace so i don't have access to background gear and don't have a harddrive directory type address to the temp folder, only my internet address - I've previously tried the temp location as

$temp_path = "home.exetel.com.au/*****/*****/amxbanssource/plugin/temp/";

(I blanked out 2 directories cause i'd rather not post the exact address

Server
Game - Day of Defeat Source
Metamod source version - v1.2.3

banlist.cfg is

banlist_url http://home.exetel.com.au/****/*****/amxbanssource/plugin/
banlist_sqliteupdate 0

(Other stuff is trivial but FYI kick msg is default and ban time is 60, update time 1 hour)

Note i noticed in the database.sq has database creation type stuff (you know code to actually create database tables - i've attached it) the other file is completely empty.

In my server console after an update this is what i get

20:11:46 L 07/03/2006 - 2135: [BL] Starting update 20:11:46 L 07/03/2006 - 2135: [BL] Downloading database updates 20:11:46 L 07/03/2006 - 2135: [BL] Download complete - 6 20:11:46 L 07/03/2006 - 2135: [BL] UPDATE config SET value='1151926415' WHERE key='lastupdate'

Note i've only got 1 id in my banned list (me), if the 6 above shows how many were downloaded then its seriously wrong

If you can see anything wrong that'd be great mate
Cheers

[devicenull]

banlist_url must be in quotes. The 6 is an error code.. it means hostname not found. If you look at banlist_url right now, it will just be "http://"

[ShadoX]

Ok i changed it too

banlist_url "http://home.exetel.com.au/****/*****/amxbanssource/plugin/"

also tried

banlist_url "home.exetel.com.au/****/*****/amxbanssource/plugin/"

no banning and i get this message now

21:55:47 L 07/03/2006 - 23:178: [BL] Starting update 21:55:47 L 07/03/2006 - 23:178: [BL] Downloading database updates 21:55:47 L 07/03/2006 - 23:178: [BL] Download complete - 0 21:55:47 L 07/03/2006 - 23:178: [BL] UPDATE config SET value='1151932658' WHERE key='lastupdate'

and now my database.sql file is empty and the update.sq3 file seems to have a chunk of html in it - i've attached for you to look at

Cheers

[ShadoX]

oops double post

[ShadoX]

oh

is it possible to get a list a error codes? Saves me posting everytime if its something i can fix

[devicenull]

0 means it worked fine..

The problem now is the URL must be to the getupdates.php script, not the directory that it is in.

These are all the error codes:

so should i just add getupdates.php on the end on the url?

[ShadoX]

change the line above, get a "0" returned but still get a big jumble of crap in my database file like in the first post

This works on DoDS doesn't it? The latest update didn't break it by any chance did it? (it broke alot of other things like mani admin/etc)

I get this in my server console when i manually exec the banlist.cfg file

Unknown command "banlist_update"
Unknown command "banlist_url"
Unknown command "banlist_kickreason"
Unknown command "banlist_banduration"
Unknown command "banlist_sqliteupdate"
rcon from "***.***.***.***:****": command "exec banlist.cfg"
rcon from "***.***.***.***:****": command ""

This happens when the plugin is loaded and when its unloaded, This'd be the problem i guess?
