Floating IP Address Issues

For most EC2 users, the public IP address of your instance changes every time you start/stop your  instance. WordPress needs to know about this change to the public IP address for it to work correctly. There is a script in the /etc/symetricore directory that makes the need changes for you. However for some users, you might want to use another IP address for example if you have an elastic IP address you want to use for your instance. You may have changed it in the General setting tab for example

In which case you want to disable the automatic updating feature as it will overwrite your change the next time you boot up your EC instance. You can disable the feature by editing the file:

sudo nano /etc/symetricore/updatepassword.sh

Update the script to comment out the last two mysql statements as highlighted below.
