Question

Can not access favorite download site.

Sep 16, 2015 10:08PM PDT

When I go to one of those sites that tells you weather the site is up or down, it states its up, so the problem must be at my end. Ran virus scan. Did one of those ip / dns flush. All other sites work just fine. No other issues. Windows 10. Generally use Firefox, but I tried IE also, same result.

Error message is as follows:


MySQL Error!
MySQL error in file: /engine/classes/mysqli.class.php at line 52
Error Number: 1
The Error returned was:
Host 'hosted-by.724server.com' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'
SQL query:

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Note: name of site removed by moderator.

Re: cannot access a site.

You certainly access the site, but something goes wrong there. Contact their webmaster. It's only an error on your PC if you CAN access it on another device. Did you try?

By the way, it works with me, but I edited out the name of the site from your post, since we don't want to mention those illegal download sites.

Rebooted a couple of times yesterday since sometimes that resolves the issue. Shutdown computer last night and started up today and site is accessible. So who knows what was wrong.

Thanks for replying.

This error is on the web server side.

MYSql is a database software used on many open source websites. This is not a problem with your PC.
