'mysqladmin flush-hosts' SAY WHAT?

[Game Over]

Not sure exactly where to ask this one, this forum seems closest.

Ok, so tried to go to one of my favorite sites, yesterday they were down a couple hours for maintenance, then today I have not been able to get on it at all, Get the usual page you get when the net cant find the site you are looking for, But today got the below message when I tried to go to the site..

[1129] dbconn: mysql_pconnect: Host '(NAME OF THE SITE)' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'

I figured this happened because I had so many failed attempts to get on the site today checking if it was up yet. I looked up a fix and found some complicated stuff I have never come across, and am thinking this is not something being blocked by me or my ISP but rather a message that comes up on that sites server?

I am wondering if this is something I need to fix on my end or if its just something they need to fix on the site?

Never came across this one before.

Sound like an issue at there end. They are doing some database lookup that is failing... They need to fix it at there end.

Cool, I was hoping I would not have to start screwing with things on my PC to try and do some special configuration for one web site.

An error like that is definitely server side.

as hmmblah said.... it is serverside

THEY are the HOST

YOU are the CLIENT

their error is 'NAME OF THE SITE'.... it should be 'NAME_OF_THE_SITE'

too many faulty/interrupted connection attempts to the webserver's mysql database were made. the database service/daemon blocks any other connection attempts then as a security precaution. the command given "mysqladmin flush-hosts" is used to unblock it. i didn't try but most likely a restart of the database service/daemon would do it. should try that out once though. was interesting for me to look that up because i usually work with oracle and ms sql server and not mysql.

but to answer your question: this is, as mentioned by others before, a server-side error the operator of the website needs to fix.
