Hi Dan. Unfortunately this is due to an error on our side where we do not accept security groups with capital letters. I believe you have one called HTTP which is causing this issue. We will be releasing an update next week to remedy this. In the meantime, I can recommend re-creating that security group as 'http'. Sorry for the inconvenience, we're working on it!

Also, if you're on the server creation page and the url starts with https, try switching it to http by editing the url. This is a bug that should be fixed tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Try this one out: http://elasticserver.com/bundles/4925... - I had made this a couple months back but never made it public

Sorry, I pasted the wrong link the first time, please make sure you use: https://elasticserver.com/bundles/623...

Yan Pritzker replied on September 08, 2009 22:19 to the question "Need dnsutils on Debian" in CohesiveFT:

Hi, we've created a bundle for dnsutils here. It is untested, please let us know if you have any luck with it :)

https://elasticserver.com/bundles/623...

thanks!

Hi RC, generally every package in a bundle is accessible to you, as long as it's public or it's been shared with you. In this case, the 'curl' package has not yet been made public, but we'll do that now. So you can now click through from the curl bundle to the curl package, and click the "Make bundle with this package" to make your own bundle, adding whatever other packages you like to it. Hope that helps!

Eric, we'd love to hear your ideas about how you would use the API to give us a better sense of the capabilities we might want to provide. Please drop me line => yan.pritzker AT cohesiveft.com Thanks!

Yan Pritzker replied on July 23, 2009 18:34 to the question "How do I add collaborators to a Personal account?" in CohesiveFT:

Hi, collaborators are automatically added when you share an item with someone. For example, go to a server or package you've created, click "Share with someone" and enter their email. They will then appear on your collaborator list and can be shared with again in the future by clicking the checkbox next to their name.

Yan Pritzker replied on July 16, 2009 19:32 to the question "how to deploy and view my app" in CohesiveFT:

I should also note that our rails site was developed to demo the ability to build custom rails servers. If you are looking to just get started with playing around with Rails, I recommend following the tutorials on rubyonrails.org and using a 'blank' virtual machine to start with.

If you are an advanced user, or already have an app that works and that you have deployed to other servers, you can use your same capistrano recipe that you've used to deploy it with our server. Our cap script has only been provided as a demo to show you how placing it in that directory can make it work with the default mongrel setup, but all of that can be customized if you are an advanced rails user.

Yan Pritzker replied on July 16, 2009 19:21 to the question "how to deploy and view my app" in CohesiveFT:

Hi, I see that you are running on windows. Unfortunately we cannot help with windows deployments at this time. We do not recommend windows as a deployment platform for capistrano. It looks like it's having some problems with a temp directory. This might be capistrano's bug or some wierd interaction with windows.

May I suggest building or downloading an ubuntu virtual machine to use for your working VM, from which you can deploy under linux.

Yan Pritzker replied on July 16, 2009 17:50 to the question "how to deploy and view my app" in CohesiveFT:

Also I find the servers: [""] line suspicious. It sounds like capistrano didn't pick up on the server ip. Are these lines present in your deploy.rb:

set :deploy_to_ip, "192.168.46.128"
role :app, deploy_to_ip
role :web, deploy_to_ip
role :db, deploy_to_ip, :primary => true

Also, try running 'cap deploy:long' to see if that makes any difference.

Yan Pritzker replied on July 16, 2009 17:48 to the question "how to deploy and view my app" in CohesiveFT:

Hi, connection failed typically means that you can't reach the ip specified. Are you sure it's the ip of your server? Can you ssh to it normally using ssh cftuser@192.168.46.128

Also, May I recommend using pastie.org to paste the output of your commands - it may be easier than a screenshot.

Yan Pritzker replied on July 15, 2009 17:44 to the question "how to deploy and view my app" in CohesiveFT:

BTW, I now just realized that maybe you never ran 'capify' on your rails app..you do need to do that before using our deploy.rb to get the default capistrano tasks) - the 'deploy' task is something that comes with capistrano out of the box

Yan Pritzker replied on July 15, 2009 17:42 to the question "how to deploy and view my app" in CohesiveFT:

It's possible that something in your rails app is overriding this task? Try generating a brand new app

rails tempapp
cd tempapp
capify .

then copy our deploy.rb into the tempapp/config directory and try again...?

Yan Pritzker replied on July 15, 2009 16:51 to the question "how to deploy and view my app" in CohesiveFT:

Hi, let me try to help you out with this. What capistrano version are you using? (Run 'cap --version'). I am using 2.5.8 and it does appear the deploy task works correctly. I do believe this script works with cap 2.3 and above.

Yan Pritzker replied on May 08, 2009 15:17 to the question "Standard Firewall Settings for EC2 Bundles" in CohesiveFT:

One more thing - we do have something called "Rubberbands". These are used to integrate your packages into the Elastic Server Manger (the web based admin that runs on port 2999 of every elastic server). One of the options when creating the Rubberband is to specify which ports you want opened. Currently, however, this only affects the shorewall settings, and not the ec2 security groups. This feature will be enabled soon.
