hope this MOD keeps running cause it has blocked 80+ registrations! My forum is made up of a old gaming team and we hardly get new registrations anymore but it's nice to have registration enabled again in case we get a someone that needs to register.

Currently, only Admins can access the vbStopForumSpam Logs in the back end.

Is there any way I can add this to Moderators as well?

Thanks,

I'm getting the following error message when I try to import the product XML file:

Database error in vBulletin 4.1.8:

Invalid SQL:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `vbstopforumspam` (
APIKey VARCHAR( 255 ) NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY ( APIKey )
) TYPE=MyISAM;;

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 4
Error Number : 1064

Any help would be appreciated, thanks. I looked at the SQL script it's complaining about and it looks fine.

**EDIT**
Replace the word TYPE with ENGINE on lines 22, 35, and 45 and product imported successfully

Just got denied registration on my test account.
Running 4.1.10
Checked against database and no ip entry or email as i just made the email address for the test.
Is this a common problem?
Uninstalled until further notice.

Dedicated server with lots of resources, RAM, disk space, and bandwidth.

Three vBulletin 4.1.10 forums running, two with vbstopforumspam installed.

ONLY ONE of these (and not the most active one) has lately been throwing frequent errors like the following (these started just 2 or 3 weeks ago - prior to that, all was fine):

Database error in vBulletin 4.1.10:

Invalid SQL:
INSERT INTO vbstopforumspam_log (date, ipaddress, email, username, message, blocked, userhash) VALUES (now(), '91.207.5.126' , '[email protected]', 'UsasseSaf', 'Result on field ip - 91.207.5.126 [REMOTEERR] Unverfied but allowed by policy', 0, 'b70728cf449d36b0ad5f2f7f713814ec');;

Normal registrations are still succeeding on that forum and as noted it is not a very active forum as yet. All of the errors are for usernames that look spammy but I have it set so that only email and IP are checked against the database, so it's not the username that's triggering this.

Also, despite the "MySQL server has gone away", there are no MySQL errors coming from several other sites on that server using MySQL incoluding at the same time that these errors are appearing, so the error seems to be misleading, i.e., it seems it's the invalid SQL statement that is throwing the error, not MySQL crashing.

Any idea what is causing this?

I know why you get database errors....

Lets say a new member (or hacker) tries to register...

• The register vB PHP script opens the database (with a (say) a 30 second time out (wait_timeout=30) set in MySQL my.cnf)
• The SFS plugin then goes off to check the credentials against the remote SFS service (3 times) using curl in my case
• SFS is either very slow or offline
• SFS plugin times out, then then retries using another method (silly really)
• The retry also times out
• The total SFS time out is > 30 seconds
• The plugin tries to update the database, which has 'disappeared' due to its own 30 second time out, and vB traps it as a DB error

So I've fixed the problem by ...
a) when using cURL not failing back to file access
b) changed the cURL time out to 8 seconds
c) changed to cURL time out from string to integer (time outs were not working at all)
d) also... changed split to explode for PHP 5.3 compatibility

Replace the functions_vbsfs.php file with the one attached here.

Enjoy! (permission given for the code to be added to the main product)
