Can't kick players from web panel

Sir_Sandalot · **Author**

For the last 2 days I have been on and off trying to get sb install and working.
This is my setup:

VPS (Ubuntu 12) This runs a CS:GO server
Shared web hosting (cPanel) This runs the db's

I installed SourceBans 1.4.11 to the shared hosting and CS:GO server.
I then added the VPS IP to the external access db allow list.
Edited ../addons/sourcemod/configs/databases.cfg (removed irrelevant entries)

Code:

"Databases"
{
    "driver_default"        "mysql"

    "sourcebans"
    {
        "driver"            "mysql"
        "host"                "**Web IP**"
        "database"            "bans"
        "user"                "username"
        "pass"                "password"
        //"timeout"            "0"
        "port"            "3306"
    }
}

Changed line 47 in ../addons/sourcemod/configs/sourcebans/sourcebans.cfg

Code:

        "ServerID"        "1"

And added the server to the web panel.

The web panel shows the server and the players that are connected (in my case myself and 9 bots)
I use the web panel to kick myself and it returns "Player not on the server anymore!" but I was never kicked.
I test to see if the CS:GO server can't connect to the mySQL but I could connect with the mysql-client I got from the PPA (on the game server box ofc :P)
Test to see if I can remotely use rcon and I can. :\
I then start looking for answers and found Sarabveer's Fork. I install his patch but still no fix..
Instead when I tried to kick myself this time I get new feedback saying "Player 'x' has been kicked from the server."

The whole time I had a permanent ban on myself in the database and it never stopped me connecting :P
I didn't get a any errors in logs?
I know this is basically a duplicate of Wilczek's topic but I'm hoping that someone will point at what I did wrong :P

If you are using the latest 1.7.x of SM then that is why. We are all waiting on a update to Sourcebans to go with 1.7.x.

Thanks for the reply.

How long do you think I will need to play the waiting game for? I'm new to SM :\

I'm to busy right now, can't anything. I waiting for the official SB team to update their plugin.

I say to either use 1.6.3, or 1.6.4-dev.

I'm really not sure... I'll prob revert all my servers back to 1.6.x in the morning just because of the bans flooding I'm getting on SB's now. I'll have to just wait for a fix before I upgrade again.

I installed both 1.6.4 and 1.6.3 but still have the same issue.
Tried both Sarabveer's Fork and Official branch 1.4.11

Is there any other addons like SB I could use. I honestly only need the bans in my database

Apparently, it's a problem with the "kickid" command firing. Or it's a problem with SB's Rcon. SourceBans Rcon is pretty buggy anyways.
