please rename HPB bots hostname
 

The underscore in hpb_bot.bots-united.com is an "illegal" DNS character.
Renaming the site to hpb-bot.bots-united.com would be appropirate as this causes errors by some proxies. Or at least add this as an alternative hostname.

Eek! Thanks for the tip.

Could you tell memed about this ? I'm over busy right now and I don't think I'll have time to change it but memed can help. Tell him to do a grep on /home/bots-united.com and change all the links that point to hpb_bots.bots-united.com as well.

Thanks again! (and thank him for me btw :D)

ok, i made a full search (4 results) and i completly sed'ed the database. no more links to hpb_bot.... should be found.
(yes i did dump, sed and re-import the whole database, _thats_ what i like on db's you can dump and work on them ...)

cheers

p.s. for the interessted, thats why i like beeing a DBA:

you rock, memed :)

Just for my information, what did the grep -v "^--" do ? what's the characteristic of a ^-- pattern in a database dump ?

Re: please rename HPB bots hostname
 

that grep -v is just to remove the comments starting with -- which mysqldump prints out by default. one of these silly default options i refuse to correct by looking for command line options. i just use the tools i know, like grep :D

p.s. grep -v "^--" removes all lines starting with "--", obviously no sql statement :)

p.p.s.
FYI:
the db is 24 mb in size

hmm most "planners" and "chief programmers" don't like my way, its too pwerfull i guess and heck, mistakes are less often if you do it the KISS way [KEEP IT STUPID SIMPLE].
