| 412420 | 2005-12-13 20:19:00 | Hi folks I can't bear the thought of trying to get through to Paradise Helpdesk, so I am hoping other Paradise users can assist. When I try to get on to Paradise webmail, both Firefox and IE show the following message: Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Host 'www-1.paradise.net.nz' is blocked because of many connection errors. Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts' in /usr/local/webmail/phplib/db_mysql.inc on line 73 This is repeated four times on the page for some obscure reason... Is this a problem that I am experiencing because there is an issue at my end, or are other Paradise members getting the same error message? AFAIK, I have not had 'many connection errors', though yesterday I was receiving emails hours after they had been sent from Wgtn, and emails were arriving out of time order. It looked like the familiar precursors to yet another Paradise melt down. Any assistance/advice appreciated... John |

| 412421 | 2005-12-13 20:29:00 | i just had a quick look at home page and it is reporting errors on web mail and email. Look here networkstatus.telstraclear.co.nz | supergran (108) | ||

I was not aware of that page - I have always worked through the Paradise webpage. The networkstatus page is now bookmarked for future reference. Clearly they are Paradise problems, not mine. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. John |

| 412423 | 2005-12-14 02:20:00 | Of course, John, unless you are running MySQL (a database manager) on a Unix/Linux machine, you haven't got a /usr/local/webmail/ place to run an unblocker from. :D The connection errors referred to are from attempts by the mail system to connect to its database. Because it's all run by scripts, the only identifiable "user" to send error messages to is you. The Paradise administrators will be getting the same messages arriving in their mail boxes. You get multiple error messages because it doesn't give up without trying a few times. |

Thanks Graham, that makes sense to me - I thought that address looked familiar, and now you mention it, it is from my flirtation with Linux . I didn't know where to go looking for it on this benighted Doze box . Interesting though - does this mean that Paradise is operating on Unix/Linux, rather than (shock horror) the Dark Side of the Force? |

| 412427 | 2005-12-14 05:59:00 | John, I actually linked to that page from the original http://www.paradise.net.nz/ page. It is down on the bottom right of the page and called 'network status'. | supergran (108) | ||

I have never noticed that. I have an in-built personal ad and spam filter which means that I always ignore (i.e. "filter out") ad-like banners across and down web pages! It is quite effective really - I just look at the text in the middle of the page, as well as the menu options. Maybe I need to be more discerning in the way in which I read web pages. Mostly I use Adblock and Flashblock to get rid of all the junk on a page, but clearly I am my most effective filter! :D |
