Escribano -> Many apologies for the outage! (Sep. 21 2007 22:23:58)
We had a storm down here today, unequalled in 20 years, and the power went out. The database server in my house came back up OK but with a different IP address from the router (I have a new one that does not allow static addresses, doh!). I was bailing water and didn't fix it until just now. Sorreeeee! p.s. you can see my photos of the storm here

I have never, ever, seen anything like it, not even in Africa or the US. Big hailstones ripping holes, full grown trees collapsing, roads crumbling. The local rivulet turned into the Congo in 2 hours. I collected 1 bucket of water every 15 minutes coming into my kitchen. Sheesh, what a day with a mop; in my underwear! So, my house is soggy and a database server got the wrong IP address, but people here have lost all of next year's produce.

That is a proof that computers are vile, malicious beings. Can't you use your database machine's hostname instead of a fixed IP address in the config files? I'm sure Windows can look it up (via smb or so). This should be less error-prone.

Psssst...Kg. Simon is the foro owner and a celebrated computer WizzKid. In case you didn't know.[;)] Good luck Simon. I feel for you.

quote: Can't you use your database machine's hostname instead of a fixed IP address in the config files? I'm sure Windows can look it up (via smb or so). This should be less error-prone. Short answer is no. Long answer is that our web site is hosted externally but the config points to SQL Server on a my static ADSL IP address (the same as seen at the bottom of my posts). Therefore, the db server hostname cannot be resolved outside the firewall and it would only be resolved to the same static IP address anyway. The router port forwards these SQL requests internally to the db server. The router is also a DHCP server and will not allow a host with a fixed IP address within, or outside of the DHCP range (as my old router did). The server came back on a different address as another computer had recently left my 192.x.x.x domain and it nabbed the vacant address. It shouldn't happen again as the next computer should receive a higher address (at least I hope so... the router will not allow me to issue an indefinite lease so it recycles the old one) It's a cheap Linux piece of crap and I will replace it soon enough. You asked [:D]

Hope it was more of a mopping up job rather than an insurance job. I hear what you are saying about the folks who have lost their produce (and income for the next year). Really bad news. There is no doubt that the climate is becoming less and less predictable and we're seeing more extremes. cheers, Ron

Really bad news. I think the Junta underwrites them but grown men crying is not a pretty sight [:'(] I don't have insurance and a mop did the job (no carpets see?), though every window in the house was 'bleeding'.

Simon, Is the region really badly beat up? I've booked to go to Capileira on 6th October. Regards Donald
