I did use my private key but it did not work. However today when I logged into scalr I was presented with some error messages that may explain why I couldn't get in:
Sep 9, 2009 18:19:07 contentcroonercom EventObserver IP changed for instance i-484bb120. New IP address: 75.101.254.60 There was a new one of these every few minutes with a different IP address. I have the checked the box for "Use Elastic IPs" for both of the servers in the farm. Any idea what is going on?
