What can be the reason that I can reach it and not you?<br>
<br>
I can reach it both from my phone via gprs and through my usual internet
connection.<br>
<br>
Yes, it is the right ip-address<br>

>To run the script once a day, you could use something simple like
cron. There are continuous integration services you could install that
are smart enough to check SVN (the one I'm familiar with is CruiseControl, but
there are others) and build when necessary. It also would not be too hard
to have your script just look at the last checkin time in SVN and only run if
there's been a change in the last day, hour, 5 minutes, however often you
decide to check.<br>

It was very easy to make an image copy of the whole server, so I have one copy
saved.<br>
