Hi

Sorry but i wasnt sure where to post this. Is anyone else having a prob with the homepage? I keep getting this error message

Warning: mysql_connect(): Host '192.168.1.4' is blocked because of many connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' in /home/macrumor/public_html/csspvt/cssdbinit.inc on line 8
Unable to connect to database

I got here by accessing the site through my history.

Kinda odd, every page worked except the home page.

Maybe MacRumors is hosted on a Windows box?!

I think if I remember correctly, macrumors.com is on a different server than forums.macrumors.com.

I could be wrong though.

It would make sense, just for these small occasions. :p

You are correct, the forums and the main page are on different servers, and BTW they are run on some sort of linux not Winblows

Well this is a Mac forum, why wouldn't they run on Macs? ;)

I mean the last time I checked, there was a server version of Mac OS X.

Yay! Go Linux!

Booo Windowz!!!

... at least its Unix. :)

Yup, Linux.

Who first got the idea that these forums might be running on IIS or something? Its just a little mysql burp.

I was also getting that same error earlier today. Glad to see it is fixed. What would I do if I couldn't access MacRumors? :eek:
