There are two routes you can possibly take to solve this issue:

1) If you have admin access to your Eucalyptus cloud, you can change the URL to be your external gateway IP. This can be done through the web app in the cloud controller. The new URL should be included in your new zip file if you regenerate your creds.

2) If you don't have admin access to your Eucalyptus cloud, unzipping the credentials file and editing the eucarc file to use your external gateway IP, and zipping it back up, should work fine.

Let me know if either of these work for you as we are interested in the Eucalyptus community.

John's manifest file was corrupted. Once he makes a new AMI it should work fine.

Can you email me directly at gene.jannece@cohesiveft.com. I think we figured out the issue, but I need some private info from you so email might be better. I'll post the solution once we fully figure it out. Thanks!

Gene Jannece asked a question in Apple on October 23, 2008 19:11:

Deleting podcasts from the iphone

For (iphone/ipod touch) Is there a way to delete podcasts in the podcast menu by swiping like can in video or email?

I would like to be able to delete podcasts (video and audio) from the podcast menu when I am done with them. Right now the only way is to do it through itunes or through the video menu under ipod.

Chey, I'm not sure what happened but I had replied to this post awhile ago and was waiting for a response. I guess it didn't take. Anyways, We would like to try and debug this issue using the same server you built. If you can give use your username and/or a link to the server that would be great.
Sorry for the confusion. – Gene Jannece, on October 23, 2008 19:04

Chey, When you boot up your Elastic Server in VMware, you will see in the console window the URL you are looking for. Odds are it will look something like this:
http://172.16.167.135:2999/

Gene Jannece replied on October 15, 2008 14:38 to the discussion "Can't create folders in directory" in CohesiveFT:

Unix, Linux/GNU, BSD, and Mac OSX operating systems were all built on the idea that all files and directories on the system have user permissions. The reason was that each of these systems were created so that multiple people could use it at the same time. User permissions are there to make sure each user could have the privacy that they wanted while still being able to use the system normally.

Now that the quick history lesson is over. I'm guessing your issue is a permission issue. The default user (cftuser) only has rights to create directories and files (or uploads in your case) in your home directory (or folder).
To solve your problem you will need to ssh (I would suggest downloading putty, the URL is below) in to your amazon EC2 instance. Once you have logged in run the command "sudo su" and it will prompt you to type in your password. You will now be logged in as root. Now run "mkdir /var/www/foldername" and that will create a folder for your files. "chown cftuser /var/www/foldername" will change the permission on your new folder to the cftuser. Run "exit" twice in a row and you will be logged off your Amazon EC2 instance. Now you should be able to upload your files into that folder using WinSCP.

Let me know if this helped your issue. If not, I'll be happy to help you troubleshoot more.

Gene Jannece replied on September 25, 2008 20:49 to the question "Wrapture manager web connection times out" in CohesiveFT:

Did you launch the Elastic server through our website or on your own? EC2 has security groups and we have port 2999 open automatically if you launch it through the website. If not then it will launch with Amazon EC2's "default" security group which has a very limited amount of ports open and port 2999 isn't one of them.
Let me know if this helps.

Gene Jannece replied on September 22, 2008 07:03 to the problem "EC2 instance does not get launched" in CohesiveFT:

You have one server uploaded but no instances are running on Amazon EC2. The ElasticFox plugin can be found here: http://developer.amazonwebservices.co...

I would suggest installing it to use as an alternative tool for EC2.
Sorry for the confusion.

Gene Jannece replied on September 21, 2008 16:15 to the problem "EC2 instance does not get launched" in CohesiveFT:

I'm not sure if it's officially supported, but that would work. I'm trying to figure if it might be one of your Firefox browser plugin. Any browser without plugins should tell us something.

Gene Jannece replied on September 21, 2008 15:12 to the problem "EC2 instance does not get launched" in CohesiveFT:

Can you try another browser? Something without plugins?

Gene Jannece replied on September 07, 2008 02:44 to the problem "Server build error is non descriptive." in CohesiveFT:

Hi Iwein, We found that your build failed due to a connection failure between us and Amazon EC2. If you build this server again, it should be fine. We're looking to better are build failure messages for future releases. Let us know if you have any other issues. Thanks for the feedback. Feedback is always welcome.

The Admin Console is only available on servers built with the Elastic server interface on the platforms we support. Currently that is Xen, Vmware, Parallels and Amazon's EC2.

The Admin Console is an easy web interface to help with the administration of your Elastic server. Your username and password are in the email you received from us telling you where to download your server.

Some of the things it helps with are system updates, resource monitoring, firewall settings, etc.

Hope this helps,

Gene Jannece replied on July 31, 2008 16:29 to the question "Credentials Verification Status" in CohesiveFT:

We noticed that your Amazon Account ID had a space in the front and was missing the last number. Please delete your current Amazon credentials and try to enter them again. Other users have experienced added spaces when copy and pasting from various browsers. We are looking into a fix so this doesn't happen again.

Let us know if that does the trick for you and have fun building your Elastic servers.

Gene Jannece replied on July 02, 2008 19:55 to the question "how to use static IP's" in CohesiveFT:

Hi, This is an issue then. Can you let us know a few things?

1) What are you running your Virtual machine on? Vmware, Amazon EC2, etc

2) How did you change your IP address to static? You can email it to me offline if safety is a concern.

If we have this info we will be able to help you pretty quickly.
