FOURTEENTH WEEK

In Database Management we are working with mirrored databases. As its name points, the objective is to have a database that is synchronizing with another one in a distant server or a different SQL instance. Both databases must have the same structure and data before mirroring, the best practice would be to backup our main database and restore it on our second server to have the same exact content. We also finish the challenge this week, we are having some presentations from our previous projects.



In Operative System Management we have to create a domain using LDAP in Ubuntu. Unfortunately, the support for our current version ended in 18^th of January, this means that its main repositories are outdated and we have to change them manually, which takes a long while. I’ve also had some problems with broken packages and I’ve had to reconfigure some.

 

In Internet and Network Services as it’s imparted by the same teacher, we are using the hours to finish with Security and High availability.

In Security and High Availability, we have been trying to simulate an SSH tunnel through Putty, a desktop remote access application. We didn’t understand the requisites very well back when we started, I re-read the requisites yesterday and found out it was really easy, so I finished the work my team has been doing in 1 month, in just 30 minutes. We just had to close a port for an IP and then open a connection with putty from our computer to “Debian 2” with a tunnel through “Debian 1”.



In Web Application Deployment we have finished our WordPress site, it’s been kind of easy but long. We haven’t had any big problems, our biggest problem was that our commerce plugin wasn’t translating web links, so we had to install 2 translation plugins to link them with our commerce plugin.

This week with Javi we are working on mirrored databases, which means that you use 2 databases synchronyzed each other, so when one of them fail, the other one can still running.

With Ricardo we are trying to connect 3 machines. The first one with Windows installed on it, the second one with Ubuntu and finally the third one will have Debian installed.

The Debian machine has got the apache installed on the 8080 port but this port is closed to everyone except the Ubuntu machine.

So the task to do is to connect the Windows machine to the Ubuntu so we can connect direcly to the Debian.

We will do this with a tool called putty doian a tunnel trought the Ubuntu machine using a port from Windows.

Finally, with Xabi we have finished our web using Wordpress.
