I just installed Banmanager today, and i have setup all of the configurations as they should be. However, the server gets to the point of loading the BanManager plugin, but then does nothing else. EG
07.04 18:00:51 [Server] INFO Enabling BanManager v5.2.0
07.04 18:00:51 [Server] INFO Preparing start region for level 2 (Seed: -46345661315635104)
07.04 18:00:50 [Server] INFO Preparing start region for level 1 (Seed: -46345661315635104)
07.04 18:00:50 [Server] INFO Preparing start region for level 0 (Seed: -46345661315635104)

And thats it. Nothing more happens after this. The server is not entirely unresponsive as when I try to connect, it gives me the usual UUID of player (player) is (UUID) but thats it. Nothing else.
My config can be found here http://pastebin.com/ZNbBGQ1f
Thanks :)

It's most likely attempting to connect to the database but failing. BM will eventually timeout, and disable itself.

This is a MySQL database connection issue, and not an issue within BanManager itself.

Just to further the previous reply, turns out my host has had a software issue which was blocking all inbound and outbound traffic for MySQL.
If you are having this issue, use This online database connection tester to determine if you can connect to your database from outside the localhost (which should give you an idea if plugins can)
