Does sourcebans work on a linux server? about sourcebans HOT 4 CLOSED

I've been using Sourcebans on Debian since I started to use SB. Nowdays I use SB 2.0 and works fine for me. Can you specify your problem?

Well I use ServerGuard which has a built in plugin but I get the following error.

[ERROR] addons/serverguard/lua/plugins/sourcebans/init.lua:16: No Database Connection

error - [C]:-1
GetAllActiveBans - addons/serverguard/lua/plugins/sourcebans/init.lua:16
LOAD_ACTIVE_BANS - addons/serverguard/lua/plugins/sourcebans/init.lua:14
v - addons/serverguard/lua/plugins/sourcebans/init.lua:48
unknown - lua/includes/modules/hook.lua:84

I know I have the right database details in my server and the server comes with MySQLOO by default so I'm not sure what the issue seems to be. I talked to the owner of ServerGuard and hes basically saying that the plugin would unfortunately require a complete recode.

His post
"The Sourcebans plugin is one that has been causing constant errors. We're aware of it's issues but unfortunately the fix is an entire recode. The error you're seeing it displaying that there is no database connection, it could be due to incorrect credentials or even a missing mysql module."

I'm 100% sure the code for the Database is correct, I also had another error on the website side of sourcebans where although I would put in my server details It would receive no query from the server, but if I clicked the connect button I would join without Issue. I assumed this was because My server is Linux however it may be the DDoS Protection provided by my hoster.

Someone else wrote the SourceBans plugin for Garry's Mod, we don't provide support for it.
