Why is Football365 Forum Down ??

Once again I am getting a lot of hits due to problems with the above bloody forum - and all they're seeing is a message I put on here back in February when I tried to join the bloody thing. Well - to keep people happy - the reason it's down is this:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111 in /home/pubdyn/vhosts/forum.football365.com/html/index.php on line 19

Warning: mysql_error(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/pubdyn/vhosts/forum.football365.com/html/index.php on line 19

Warning: mysql_errno(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in /home/pubdyn/vhosts/forum.football365.com/html/index.php on line 19

Fatal error: SQL Error has occurred, please contact the administrator of the forum and have them review the forum's SQL query log in /home/pubdyn/vhosts/forum.football365.com/FUDforum/include/core.inc on line 188

Looks like they need an SQL programmer to get it sorted - not that I care about the bloody forum anyway, as all they want are work e-mail addresses or student e-mail addresses - implying that they are probably a big reason for this country's industry and education going down the pan because people are stealing time from their employer, or students are wasting their time talking about football instead of studying ...

... and I bet it's all about that so-called Premier League rubbish - rather than real football ...
.

Suggestions to anyone from Football365 as follows:


1) You need to check the bind address variable in the my.cnf file. It defaults to localhost hence localhost works but not 127.0.0.1 or connection from other hosts.

2) Check your /etc/hosts.deny. I bet the IP address of the host is in there.

3) Remove the "---'port'=>(number)' from the dev config - or change the number to 3306

Just some thoughts - might be absolute cr*p - sounds impressive though (you have to remember - I'm not a computer geek any more - I'm a postman) ...

Awooga!

And football is played worldwide, it is not just the premiership. said...

It's the football wherein you hit a ball with your foot. Not the 'football' in which you carry an oblate spheroid around with your hands (otherwise know as pansy-rugby).

You should talk about F365 more often. You get a lot of hits when you do :littlewankyman:
