(EDIT) Well turns out my host provides a MySQL db for each user. I have the info all set up but am having some issues. I will file a ticket.

I must say I'm quite disappointed in your decision to discontinue SQLite support. Since I'm on a managed host, setting up a local MySQL database is just not possible. Of course I can create one remotely, but that means increased network load, and this affects performance. I've heard nothing but horror stories from people using remote MySQL databases with their servers, but I would love for someone here to convince me otherwise.

BlockLog is such a necessity to our server that I may either have to switch to another log plugin or close my server altogether. We are currently crippled without it.

I have the same problem on a stock Debian mysql install. It would be awesome if we could get a fix :)

from my console logs if it can help :

Caused by: com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.CommunicationsException: The last packet successfully received from the server was 43,496,944 milliseconds ago.

The last packet sent successfully to the server was 43,496,944 milliseconds ago. is longer than the server configured value of 'wait_timeout'.

You should consider either expiring and/or testing connection validity before use in your application, increasing the server configured values for client timeouts, or using the Connector/J connection property 'autoReconnect=true' to avoid this problem.

the mysql db on my server does a short shutdown one to three times a day, to backup everything on filesystem level.

the problem is, that block log did not reconnect to the database after this happening. (Communications link failure)

Could you implement an auto-reconnect, if the database was temporarely down?

@Anerach

How it works? How i need to use? What i need to do? I just type /bl wand and...?

OMG ADD "HOW IT WORKS" THIS SH*T PLUGIN!!! O_o

-.^"

@Anerach

Yes, I send my ID and password to PM

Well I downloaded and installed MySQL. Then create a connection, run the server with BlockLog and does not work.

In Config I wrote a password, but still does not work. And that is written in lesson on the windows need to XAMPP, but I do have a server on your computer!! Not VPS_,

Shit, SQLite not supporting...

Who can help me to configure MySQL ? I need to configure on my PC, not VPS.

Thanks

I managed to deal with our last issue, but immediately after upgrading to BL2.0 we've got a new one:

I seem to be the only one talking about it, so I assume it's an isolated issue with our server. However, I'm not sure where to begin in dealing with it, as I do not know java. Can anyone suggest a probable cause given this?
