Uh, vbulletin.com dead?

[Dakis]

Everything seems to be down, home page, forums, all of it.

 

[iTuN3r]

Well who cares about it anymore

 

[Carlos]

Yeah, this means bad news for internetBrands.

I thought I was the only one, but guess not. Nonetheless, I was laughing.

At some point vBulletin was going to have a security nightmare. Here it is.

 

[DSF]

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111 in /classes/Database.php on line 107 error initializing page.

Genial ....

[Blandt]

[D.O.A.]

Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111

[Carlos]

I guess I must be a cool guy to be banned from vBulletin. lol

Database error in vBulletin : mysql_connect() [<a href='function.mysql-connect'>function.mysql-connect</a>]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111 /var/www/sites/vbulletin.com/forum/includes/class_core.php on line 314

.com: The database has encountered a problem.
.org: Forum not available, please try later.

It might mean they are both upgrading to 4.1
(Maybe 5.0?)

 

[Dakis]

Wouldn't they make an announcement? they always did I think.

Same server, so both are not available, also vB-Germany.com.

It's kinda nice for them to finally see that annoying error. I kept getting bombarded with them but I could never explain how that happened. Ironically, only happened with vBulletin 4. No other application.

 

[JonnyFlash]

Same here for me - which is a relief as I'm based in Shanghai and I thought the Great Firewall of China had blocked me.

 

[Jeffin]

miserable users??

 

[dutchbb]

Very professional

That's almost one hour... maybe it got hacked...

 

[zappaDPJ]

miserable users??

Probably, every single one of them I would think

 

[fattony69]

I get this when I go on the site:

Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111 in /classes/Database.php on line 107
error initializing page.

 

[JonnyFlash]

I wonder if anyone around here will be blamed?

Perhaps they will sue us
