Hi Richard

Starting from scratch and creating a new role is not recommended by the Scalr team (this was the answer when i wanted to do the same a year ago, dont know if it has changed, if you search this forum you may find the old answer!)

Also the scalrizr script depends in an app role on the fact that Apache is running (not sure if its just port 80 or apache) .. I had a need for a JBoss role and I simply installed JBoss also in the standard App role. On that instance i have opened only the JBoss port and apache in that sense is hidden but Scalr is happy. The disadvantage is that if Apache is running but JBoss crashes, scalrizr does not recognize it. This is managed separately by detecting it and using the Scalr API to terminate the instance so a new one will replace it.

In a nutshell, not straight forward but doable with a few tweaks.

Regards
Srini

Hi all

I could do with a Tomcat app based role, just wondering if I build one in EC2 and 'scalrize' it (import non Scalr server) if that would do the trick? i.e and become manageable for vhosts etc? I've seen the tutorial for creating such using chef but didn't really want to go down that route.

Any thoughts appreciated.

Richard
