| If the following error occurs, it means that mysqld has received many connection requests from the given host that were interrupted in the middle: Host 'host_name' is blocked because of many connection errors.
Unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'
The value of the max_connect_errorssystem variable determines how many successive interrupted connection requests are permitted. Aftermax_connect_errorsfailed requests without a successful connection, mysqld assumes that something is wrong (for example, that someone is trying to break in), and blocks the host from further connections until you flush the host cache by executing aFLUSH HOSTSstatement, aTRUNCATE TABLEstatement that truncates the Performance Schemahost_cachetable, or a mysqladmin flush-hosts command. To adjust the permitted number of successive connection errors, set max_connect_errorsat server startup. For example, put these lines in the servermy.cnffile: [mysqld]
max_connect_errors=10000
The value can also be set at runtime: SET GLOBAL max_connect_errors=10000;
If you get the Host 'error message for a given host, you should first verify that there is nothing wrong with TCP/IP connections from that host. If you are having network problems, it does no good to increase the value ofhost_name' is blockedmax_connect_errors. For more information about how the host cache works, see Section 5.1.12.3, “DNS Lookups and the Host Cache”.
