As the title says.

It is reflected in my sourceban webpage that the I've has been banned. The player(which is me testing the sb) sees that I got banned and leave, and is able to come back again to the server bypassing the ban.

But the funny part is, when I join the other server which is sourceban enabled too, I am banned and not allowed to enter the other servers which I have.

This time I tried joining back into the server which I just got banned from. It then works saying I have been banned.

I have a total of 8 server with me all 5 are working fine with the sourceban, however I tried integrating the other 3 servers which is rent by the same host This problem comes out. It is a windows os server.

Anyone had any clue is it something to do with the sm version or mm version ?

This is when I've done sm_ban #32 0 , the hud came out for hacking aimbot, I've chose aimbot, I do not get kick at all after the pban. And I'm able to join back the server after I leave, unless I restart com, or maybe switch server to the ones that are running the same sb which is working fine and i prevent me from joining the other servers.

Any advise would be appreciated.

[Horsedick]

Did you update it recently from the SM1.7X change?

[heavenrave]

as the version stated, its working on my other 5 servers, which I do not have any problems with 1.7x with the sb. And yes i did update it to 1.7.2-dev+5191 . and its working on 1 of the 5 servers i've mention.

[ThatOneGuy]

More info on it: It loads admins, saves bans to SB, etc. perfectly normal. When joining those servers, it shows a blocked connection from web panel (when it wasnt actually blocked).

1:20 AM - кαиєкι.: i was thinking if is there a limit to mysql thingy 1:20 AM - кαиєкι.: it doesn't wanna block 1:21 AM - кαиєкι.: oh ya 1:21 AM - кαиєкι.: it doesn't show 1:21 AM - кαиєкι.: the blocked connection 1:21 AM - кαиєкι.: for bravo 1:22 AM - кαиєкι.: when i tried entering bravo for the second time 1:22 AM - кαиєкι.: is says my steamid is not allowed in the server 1:22 AM - кαиєкι.: but then 1:22 AM - кαиєкι.: the sourceban website 1:22 AM - кαиєкι.: did not state 1:22 AM - кαиєкι.: the blocked connection

Last I knew, he was talking to his host to check if there are any mysql limitations, per chance. I couldnt help him past this cuz I had to go to bed. Not sure what I can help him with now though, other than suggesting a fresh install, since these ones seem buggy. He is gonna make me a limited FTP account to try to check out his installs, etc. But, it seems to be something specific to those 3 servers, since the other 5 have been working fine for him for a while now.

I recall SB having issues with not kicking people when bans are made. My guess is that this is related to the same bug. Was this ever fixed in any forks?

[heavenrave]

Alright a little background story with what I've post to my host, he hasn't get back to me but he has flag my post for management review on it

I have installed sourcebans for all 5 servers perfectly working fine. But during the installation of the subsequent server 6th, 7th and 8th server. The sourceban doesn't work well. The installation is successful, what do I mean by it doesn't work well is that, the 6th,7th and 8th server, the sourceban MySQL is having some issue of banning people from the server transmitting info from MySQL database server to my gameserver or vice versa. For some reason the webserver don't sync with the gameserver. It doesn't connect properly. The game server is having trouble to connect to MySQL database with "slow" connection I suspect. [Note: It does connect to my databases.cfg properly as my admin access are based on sourcebans itself. ] As I ban myself in the gameserver(6th server), it doesn't immediately kick me out and ban me straight, I could get back in the gameserver after leaving. Instead if I want my ban to be recognize and working, I have to go back previously to any of the 5 gameservers which I owned;which the sourceban is working perfectly fine. It will then read the ban from MySQL and recognize the ban and transmit the info properly to all 8 servers. Here comes the tricky part, the 6th, 7th and 8th server might still allow me to join at times, but if i leave the server again, and try to rejoin back to the 6th,7th or 8th server it will display my steamid and say I am not allowed to join. The webpage block connection will not displayed the block connection while the other 5 gameserver which are working fine will show it properly. This does not happen to the other 5 gameservers, they will detect the sourceban straight. and don't allow me to join at all. When I go back to the original server(6th server) which I issued the ban previously, it will then be recognize that I've been banned after going through the above steps. The 6th,7th and 8th server has problem recognizing the ban table created by mysql . Sometimes I can go in the server but sometimes not depending whether the "connection between MySQL and my gameserver" which I was banned in (Note: only the 6th,7th,8th server) while the other gameserver will recognize I've been banned and not allowing me enter them. Installation is fine. I've troubleshoot countless of times, as it is able to read my admin access in sourceban MySQL table. There is no sourceban errors at all nor any sourcemod error refering to sourcebans. Hope you could help me out, whether there is any limitation for mysql connection.

check the debug file against that server see if everything is open.

Everythings looks ok to me and my host replied

I am unaware of anything on our side which would cause any delays or issues either on the web server end or the game server. I would suggest reaching out the Sourceban community with your symptoms to see if any others have seen similar issues in the past and if they found the source of the issue. We are happy to check anything on our end you need, but at this stands now we aren't seeing any connection issues, the MySQL server is humming along nicely and we haven't monitored any issues on either end in quite some time - everything is stable. The only other option I can suggest is possibly grabbing a VPS from us and setting it up in LA and host your MySQL database on it so it can be closer (Less Latency) to your game servers. Thank you,

using the latest official update of SB's? I know there was a change to adjust from the 1.7.x SM update to react in this manner against the SteamID changes.

SM 1.7 still supports the old steam ID method. Also, his was compiled with 1.7, im pretty sure. It is a fork of SB 1.4.11, but works perfectly fine on his other 5 servers. Pretty strange if you ask me. I think the only way to help more is checking the files via FTP. I'd check console.log if he has it (-condebug startup line option). He says nothing in SM error logs. What about the sourcebans log (addons/sourcemod/logs/sourcebans.log i think)?

[Sarabveer]

It's kinda weird you're using TOGs SourceBans, which is pretty buggy and old. Has no updates for SM1.7
