vekia Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 mysqladmin is a little helper utility program you'll find it on your MySQL server. "flush-hosts" is one of the things it can do. You have to type that command from a shell prompt. You can run this query in browser too - in software like phpMyAdmin. Log in to phpmyadmin and open "SQL" tab where you can run own queries. the SQL statement you're looking for is simply this: FLUSH HOSTS; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markjl Posted September 10, 2014 Author Share Posted September 10, 2014 Hello. Not having access to the server, my host provider simply restarted MySQL. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
