Hi all,
I am having problems connecting to an AMI that I created by modifying an existing linux ami, bundling it and registering it. Heres what I did -
- Launch existing CentOS AMI (ami-cb52b6a2) - this is a Rightscale LAMP image
- configured Apache, PHP etc and copied over some PHP scripts etc
- Tested it - all worked as I want it to
- I bundled it using the EC2 tools on the instance (ec2-bundle_vol) as in the documentation here. Only difference being I copied my key and certificate to the /root/mnt/ folder using WinSCP.
- uploaded bundle to S3 bucket using ec2-upload-bundle (my bucket name does have an underscore in it)
- Registered the image using Amazon Management Console
- Launched the instance from the management console and assigned elastic IP address, used the same security group as always and the same keypair.
- Tried to connect with Putty, WinSCP, browser but nothing works. I get a timeout message from Putty and a "[can't open the page] because the server where this page is located isn’t responding." from a web browser.
Any ideas what would cause this, should i try and bundle again? are there any issues with bundling a modified image? Eric Hammond notes there are issues with bundling using the Ec2 tools pre-installed on Ubuntu images on this thread. Could this be the same for CentOS?
Many thanks all
