FluxCP - Lost Connection to SQL Server

[Aerlinniel]

Hello,

I apologize in advance if this has already been discussed somewhere.

I love the FluxCP, but we have a love-hate relationship. Though all of my years installing it, it never fails to give me an issue. Normally I'm able to adjust the settings and eventually find out what to do to fix it, except now.

I currently am hosting my Website (CP) on a completely different server host than my rAthena server. Mainly because if the server goes down for maintenance (host-side), or there is any sort of downtime with the host, I would like my community to still be able to view updates and post on the forum until it's completed.

I've entered all of the information in my server.php file correctly (as far as I know), and yet I seem to be getting this error:

Please let me know if there's something I can do.

Thank you!

Hi Aerlinniel,

You must make sure that the web server and the game server have white-listed each other to allow each to communicate with each other. Usually, it is your webhost which blocks all external connections. I would recommend contacting them and request them to whitelist your game server's IP to allow it to communicate outside.

Thank you Asura, I will try to contact them. I will keep you all posted!
