MySQL Error # 4 = User '' has exceeded

Ok, last week I was given a tip to install RN 2.10.01 from my local machine before loading out. The site is fine but when I tried to install my RN to my online site, the first 5 steps was successful but after installing the NukeSentinel™ IP2Country Data load i got this error

Quote:

MySQL Error # 4 = User 'myaccount' has exceeded the 'max_updates' resource (current value: 60000).

So how I can update my sentinel if I cant do it in my installsql?
I read in the forum of my host...hyperphp-byethost, they say we need to split..but its a pain taking task..Any suggestions you can give to me?

Thanks in advance

From installSQL.php"Note: The NukeSentinel(tm) IP2Country Data load is over 50,000 records. Since some slower servers may time out, I have also divided installation into 6 parts, should single-step installation fail."
Did you tried step 6a - 6f to load IP2Country ?

I do not use the bulk step 6 process. Even though using the divided step 6a-6f still I got the error.... Sad

It's a database limit set up by your host. You'll have to do it it in increments, waiting for the limit to expire before doing the next section. Generally hosts set this on a per hour basis.

I even tried to import my working DB from my local machine to my site using phpmyadmin, but still I got errors...i am sure that this Db is working 100%...

yes, it is not your db, but the restriction that your host has placed on the number of SQL calls within a set time limit.

if you already have all the IPtocountry data in your local copy, possibly ask your host within a ticket if they would be willing to at least do the initial db load for you.

The only other options that you have are:

1. Get a host which does not have this limit - might want to check out RavenWebHosting

2. Create multiple users within mySQL (from your cpanel) and load in chunks by user because most of the limits (that I have read in these forums) sound like they are by user.

Just a word of caution though. If your site is very active, you could still run into this same issue even after your site is up and running. Therefore, you might want to consider number 1. above anyways.

If you search on max resources you will find some other hacks to get around this limitation. I used to have it on an Ipowerweb server before I moved to Ravens hosting.

As M. says you can set up multiple users. On Ipowerweb you could also go in and reset any user and thus not have to wait the hour for the limit to expire. I believe the process is documented in the other posts. There may be similar workarounds for other hosts that limit you.

You have a limit on your database user to a set amount for SELECT queries, per hour, per user. Once you have used up your quota, you will begin to receive those types of errors until the end of the hour, and your quota is reset.

There is a trick to bypassing this, altho since it is your local setup you can change the query limit in yout php.ini file.

If the query limit setting does not work then your only option is to try this:

To compensate for this limitation, you can set up 2 additional users (for a total of 3 users), and spread out your queries among them. This will give you a total of 216K SELECT queries. To set this up, you must complete 5 steps.

1). BACKUP YOUR DATABASE FIRST BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS!!!

2) Go into your server control panel and to mysql admin area. Add users to your database until you have 3, making sure that each user has the exact same password.

3) Open your config.php file. Find this section of code:

$dbhost = "localhost";
$dbuname = "host_username";
$dbpass = "usernamepassword";
$dbname = "host_dbname";

4) Add the following lines of code immediately before this section of code. In the quotes of each of these lines add the new usernames that you added to your database, Like.

$db_user_array[] = "host_username1"; //enter 1st user name
$db_user_array[] = "host_username2"; //enter 2nd user name
$db_user_array[] = "host_username3"; //enter 3rd user name

5) Now change the $dbuname = "host_username"; line to this

$dbuname = $db_user_array[ rand( 0, ( sizeof($db_user_array) -1 ) ) ];

Now what this does is causes it to cycle through the different users and allows each of these users to reach the limit.

Hope that helps.

i had the same limit ,

the way i get round it (my hosts sugestion) is to upload FTP the IP2country (6a-6f) individualy to your web server and using cpanel > use import to databse >DB-name> and give it twenty minutes or 5 minutes. then do 6b-6f. i found this an easier way of doing it, but thats just me. but at least it stops the time outs.
