I think so.

Check Amazon security group rules you assigned to the server. Remember that OM uses many ports - not tcp:5080 only.

AWS private/public IP is not an issue.
Please check you have all necessary ports opened and DB installed/running.

    I am new to OpenMeetings but like Alexander I am trying install OM2
    on Amazon's (AWS) EC2 cloud.
    Like Alexander ...  I can get everything installed but OpenMeetings
    is NOT reachable from the internet.

    You may not be familiar with AWS but when you launch a Server on AWS
    EC2 it gets 2 IP addresses, and a PUBLIC DNS name.

    There is a PUBLIC IP address that can connect to the server from the
    internet.

    However, there is also a PRIVATE IP address that is INTERNAL to the
    AWS cloud and NOT reachable by the internet.
    my example server:

    /*Public DNS: ec2-23-23-198-151.compute-1.amazonaws.com
    <http://ec2-23-23-198-151.compute-1.amazonaws.com>*/
    /*Private DNS: ip-10-76-175-149.ec2.internal*/
    /*Private IP Address: 10.76.175.149*/

    Any application trying to reach my server across the internet would
    point their URL to the PUBLIC DNS (which by the way the
    23-23-198-151 is also the PUBLIC IP just substitute DOTS for the DASHS)

    An application on the internet could NOT access the Private DNS
    /ip-10-76-175-149.ec2.internal (or 10.76.175.14) as that is internal
    to the AWS cloud only
    *
    */However, ANY application _running ON that server_ which is set to
    use either LOCALHOST -or- the PUBLIC DNS -or- the PUBLIC IP ... will
    automatically be redirected by the AWS Cloud virtualzation itself to
    the PRIVATE INTERNAL IP Address.... which is NOT reachable by the
    Internet./*
    *
    For example _if I am logged into that openmeetings server_ and I
    ping its PUBLIC DNS ec2-23-23-198-151.compute-1.amazonaws.com... I
    will really be pinging 10.76.175.149 ... the internal private IP.

    Therefore my OpenMeeting server (and I assume xander's) is NOT
    reachable from the internet the way OpenMeetings is configured and I
    get this screen when attempting to access it.  It stays at this
    message forever.  Yes, I have checked mysql password, userID and
    host and they are all correct.

    /*http://23.23.198.151:5080/openmeetings/install*
    /
    /
    /OpenMeetings - Loading .../
    /The server is not yet completely initialized. Please try again in a
    couple of seconds./
    /If this message persists for several minutes contact your
    Sys-Administration./
    /If that message stays forever you should check the logs located in /

    /openmeetings_install_dir/log/

    folder, probably your database user/pwd/host is wrong!

    I have also tried changing "hostname" in these files:/*
    */

      * /*/etc/init.d/red5*/
      * 
/*/usr/lib/red5/webapps/openmeetings/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml*/
      * /*and in the mysql openmeetings database */

    to the PUBLIC IP address of the AWS server and restarted everything
    and I still end up with the above message... waiting forever.

    So although I can reach something on the AWS Openmeetings server...
    there is something in the application configuration that is not
    communicating correctly in the AWS cloud environment.
    /*
    */Any ideas or other configuration items I should be checking?

        Hi Alexander,

        the installation on EC2 is not really different from installing
        OpenMeetings on any other dedicated server.
        You can simply use the normal Installation Instructions.

        The Automatic Install Script is also not that up-to-date with the
        latest version of OpenMeetings.
        But why this line of the script:
        Done!! open the website at your browser: http://$(ifconfig eth0
        |grep
        "inet addr:" |cut -d : -f 2 |cut -f1 -d"
        "):5080/openmeetings/install

        Does not return your IP ... I mean you know what IP / domain you
        got,
        why not simply enter that address?
