Good Day,

I am trying to install the PayPal Assistant for the first time on my website. I already added the PHP files to a folder on the server /paypal/ and made my temp folder have 777 access.

The following error comes up when I try to run the script:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Host 'blazecast6.rdns.net' is blocked because of many connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' in /home/realnota/public_html/paypal/functions.php on line 21
Could not connectHost 'blazecast6.rdns.net' is blocked because of many connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'

Please assist.

Thank You,

Hmm, sounds like you need to flush your MySQL server. This usually happens when someone is trying to login too many times with an incorrect password and MySQL scrams:

I am still having the same issue. I deleted all accounts for user name and db from MYSQL, and I also renamed everything differently in both the .php files and db.

The following error comes up when I try to run the script:

Warning: mysql_connect(): Host 'blazecast6.rdns.net' is blocked because of many connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' in /home/realnota/public_html/paypal/functions.php on line 21
Could not connectHost 'blazecast6.rdns.net' is blocked because of many connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'

This is the path to my paypal file in my server from the FTP Client, /public_html/paypal/ , is this correct?

I also added the paypal.cgi file to this directory /www/cgi-bin/ , is that correct also?

Is there anyway to get this installed under my site?

Thank you.

Did you issue a mysqladmin flush-hosts command?

How do I do that if I am using a cPanel? How can I get to the shell?

Well, I have never used Cpanel. What type of MySQL admin program does Cpanel use?

You can use phpMyAdmin to administrate your MySQL databases in a web based environment.

Let me know if you would like a free account. jefe@wifistudios.com

Then you would issue the command through phpMyAdmin.

They do not offer shell access through phpMyAdmin.

Shell access? Not needed. It has been a while since I used that script but I believe you login to phpMyAdmin, select the database in question, click the SQL tab, and type in the command: flush hosts.

Error
SQL-query:

FLUSH HOSTS
MySQL said:

#1227 - Access denied. You need the RELOAD privilege for this operation

Then you will have to have your sys admin flush it then.
