    Directory permissions?
    Apache config?
    Red hat internal firewall?
    AWS security groups, and routes?

    You really are a tosspot.

      Surprised that amazon are not top notch at anything. I pretty much buy everything from them and love their service.

        You are stuck in the past mate. Being a legend doesn't always mean sticking with what you know. If learning something hurts then maybe you are in the wrong industry...

            Don't need to go to specsavers, you revealed your password to me when you connected to your ftp server

              Seriously though, why do Amazon need to rename things and make things more complicated than they need to be?

              Why call it "elastic ip"? What not call a firewall a firewall, a spade a spade, an ip an ip.

              Wouldn't happen with Azure

                    Yep, agree. To be fair it is only a dev environment, and not production so the world won't stop turning.

                    Hats off to you infra guys.

                      Day one on a gig for a large Financial a few years back. Was informed the outsourced Indian developers had done the Production server builds. I said I thought that was a bad idea. The outsourcing company thought otherwise and reported my comments to management in the hope of getting me a ticking off.

                      I responded by email directly to client-co management with a one-liner: It has taken less than five minutes to figure out the root passwords of all your Production servers - do you consider this to be a problem?

                      That gig went on for 3 years (@900/day.) Happy times.
