Hi I have created an Amazon EC2 Instance that provides Windows Server 2008 with SQL Sever 2008 pre-installed. Now in order to use the SQL Server for creating databases, or restoring backups of the databases that I have on my local machine, I need the "sa" password for SQL Server 2008.

When I select a running EC2 instance and click the "instance actions" pull-down, the option to bundle the image to an S3 bucket is grayed out. Why would this be? See here: http://skitch.com/eoligarry/dnr7n/aws-management-console I am signed up for S3, and this is not a windows instance. ...

I'm trying to find a way to decrypt an encrypted file on a 'virgin' EC2-instance. These EC-instances I use (Ubuntu Lucid) only hold my AWS-created public ssh-key. If can use this to decrypt a file, I can feed it encrypted files (for example a bash-script holding a password to my subversion-repository). So, my question, can I use my ssh-...
I cannot SSH into my instance - Operation timed out. What could be the reasons why, and what can I do to resolve it? Rebooting normally takes a long time to take effect, and might just makes things worst UPDATE: It is not about permissions - i can log in normally just fine. I suspect it might be because of memory issues ...
Hi All, I created a EBS volume, attached and mounted it on a EC2 instance. Created few sample text files in the mounted directory and took a snapshot from AWS console. Problem is when I create a new EBS volume using this snapshot and mount this new volume, I am not seeing the stored content (in snapshot). What can be the issue? Is my ...
Hi, We are launching hadoop cluster on amazon ec2 and recently we are having network issues like master unable to connect to slave. We thought the reason is due to amazon throttling the network connections over a limit. So, we tried to establish a connection after a random delay from each slave node. But, that didn't help. Are there an...
We are evaluating moving to the Amazon cloud. I want to move the IIS 6 metabase onto an EBS volume so that our domains configuration survives server termination. Is there a way to move the location of the IIS metabase to another drive, or will we just have to setup a regular backup with an automatic restoration when the server restarts? ...

Is it possible to override Tomcat's embedded generator of JSESSIONID, to be able to create custom values of this cookie, based on user's login? Why do I need this: I have a load balancer with "sticky sessions", configured to route requests with the same JSESSIONID to the same server, and I want to prevent situation, when same user can ...
I need to be able to update my ec2 instance from a label in mercurial when it resets so my application is always set at the right revision. It'd be great to be able to push my changes to a mercurial host and have my instances automatically update across the ec2 network when they are reset! I really don't want to host mercurial on the s...

The subdomain just cant be...
I am creating a web-based RESTful service and want to cloud-enable it for scalability. I don't want to get locked into one cloud provider though. I'd like to be able to switched between Go Grid or Amazon EC2, etc. as pricing and needs evolve. Is there a common API to control the launch, monitoring and shutdown of cloud resources? I'v...
Hi everyone, I took my first step today on working with cloud servers and chosed Amazon EC2 for this project. Since I am a bit of a newcomer on this, I didn't fully understand their pricing: What happens when a instance is idling with no connections being made. Does it still cost us money? It would be sad to have instances idling ...
