MariaDB Error 1129: Host Blocked Due to Errors
Description
This error indicates that the MariaDB server has temporarily blocked a specific client host (IP address) because it detected too many failed connection attempts from that host within a short period. This security measure prevents potential brute-force attacks or resource exhaustion, making the client unable to connect until the block is cleared or expires.
Error Message
Host '%s' is blocked because of many connection errors; unblock with 'mysqladmin flush-hosts'
Known Causes
4 known causesIncorrect Authentication Credentials
The client attempted to connect using an invalid username or password multiple times, triggering the server's host-blocking mechanism.
Network Connectivity Issues
Problems such as a firewall blocking the port, network latency, or the MariaDB server being unreachable caused repeated connection failures from the client.
Excessive Connection Attempts
A client application or script made an unusually high number of connection attempts in rapid succession, exceeding the server's threshold for connection errors.
Client Application Misconfiguration
The client application was configured with an incorrect host, port, or other connection parameters, leading to persistent failed attempts to connect.
