Currently, when I run the script it fails with: Launching AMI ami-cecb2fa7 Unexpected error: java.net.NoRouteToHostException: No route to host at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketConnect(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.doConnect(PlainSocketImpl.java:333) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connectToAddress(PlainSocketImpl.java:195) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.connect(PlainSocketImpl.java:182) at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:366) at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:519) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.connect(SSLSocketImpl.java:550) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketImpl.(SSLSocketImpl.java:394) at com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.SSLSocketFactoryImpl.createSocket(SSLSocketFactoryImpl.java:123) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.SSLProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket(SSLProtocolSocketFactory.java:81) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.protocol.SSLProtocolSocketFactory.createSocket(SSLProtocolSocketFactory.java:126) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpConnection.open(HttpConnection.java:706) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager$HttpConnectionAdapter.open(MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager.java:1321) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeWithRetry(HttpMethodDirector.java:386) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpMethodDirector.executeMethod(HttpMethodDirector.java:170) at org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient.executeMethod(HttpClient.java:396) at org.codehaus.xfire.transport.http.CommonsHttpMessageSender.send(CommonsHttpMessageSender.java:369) at org.codehaus.xfire.transport.http.HttpChannel.sendViaClient(HttpChannel.java:123) at org.codehaus.xfire.transport.http.HttpChannel.send(HttpChannel.java:48) at org.codehaus.xfire.handler.OutMessageSender.invoke(OutMessageSender.java:26) at org.codehaus.xfire.handler.HandlerPipeline.invoke(HandlerPipeline.java:131) at org.codehaus.xfire.client.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:79) at org.codehaus.xfire.client.Invocation.invoke(Invocation.java:114) at org.codehaus.xfire.client.Client.invoke(Client.java:336) at org.codehaus.xfire.client.XFireProxy.handleRequest(XFireProxy.java:77) at org.codehaus.xfire.client.XFireProxy.invoke(XFireProxy.java:57) at $Proxy12.runInstances(Unknown Source) at com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.Jec2.runInstances(Jec2.java:768) at com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.cmd.RunInstances.invokeOnline(RunInstances.java:142) at com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.cmd.BaseCmd.invoke(BaseCmd.java:631) at com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.cmd.RunInstances.main(RunInstances.java:198) Error starting instance for image ami-cecb2fa7 - caftech Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:00:45 +0100 http://www.phurnace.com/cloud-computing/easy-steps-to-start-up-amazon-ec2-images.html#comment-31 You can also add /opt/ec2/tools/ec2-api-tools-1.3-30349/bin to your path so that you can easily run the commands from bash. in your .bash_profile: export PATH=$PATH:/opt/ec2/tools/ec2-api-tools-1.3-30349/bin - Dimitris Sat, 11 Jul 2009 03:28:01 +0100 http://www.phurnace.com/cloud-computing/easy-steps-to-start-up-amazon-ec2-images.html#comment-30 Thanks for this, its very helpful. :D - Channing Walton Wed, 08 Jul 2009 14:39:00 +0100
