This post helped me in setting up my user for the ec2 instance.

Yes, now I can ssh in. (Couldn't before without 'ssh -i path/to/key' so I 
added my .pem to my .ssh/config.)

I did a lot of troubleshooting with my environment, not sure the exact 
formula but something to do with fabric+future+python2.7 has allowed fabric 
to work.

Now I can run 'fab all', but after the first line '$ apt-get update -y -q 
->' , I am prompted for my "[IP] Login password for 'ec2-user' " which is 
the standard instance user name. AWS by default doesn't provide a password 
and handles authentication through a .pem private key, this means I've 
never set a password for ec2-user. 

I've messaged Matt Mansour to see if in his experience with AWS he has to 
configure anything specifically. I've tried setting a password for ec2-user 
within my instance and using that but it doesn't pass.

Thanks for the help above, I've sorted out my ssh and fabric issues, but 
now I think I'm dealing with more aws specific configuration than anything 
else.

Re: [mezzanine-users] What's wrong in my local_settings / how to do basic deploy to aws

Hi Wolfgang,

I wrote a tutorial on doing test deployments from local to a local 
Vagrant virtual-machine at 
http://bscientific.org/blog/mezzanine-fabric-git-vagrant-joy/ 
which covers your questions about git. You can definitely use a 
local git repository for deployment *if* the server/remote can 
find a network route to the local repo. The tutorial is for older 
versions of Mezz, but the fundamental ideas have not changed.


More answers inline below. --ken

Hello, I saw the recent posts about aws but didn't want to

with my own questions. I have an app I really like that I've

deployment. I'm 
following the standard deployment in the tutorials and am trying 
to get it 
online using aws, either ec2 or elasticbeanstalk.


Any tutorial for running Django on EC2 should provide a lot of 
insight. There is nothing particularly special about Mezzanine.


Also if someone can explain how git works for a deployment that 
would be 
great. Do I push my local MyProject folder contents to a 
repository, then 
pull that to the ec2, (and separarely transfer local_settings.py 
to keep 
secret keys off of git)? Or does the fabric deployment suggest I 
handle it 
all remotely and not within an ec2 instance, and if so how does 
git 
integrate with fab?


The fabfile is designed to run on whatever machine(s) you are 
using for development work, but that can cover a lot of different 
locations. Nothing prevents you from doing development work in 
prod except perhaps self-preservation.




local_settings.py 

# This file is exec'd from settings.py, so it has access to and 
can

# modify all the variables in settings.py.

DEBUG = False

# Make these unique, and don't share it with anybody.
SECRET_KEY = "12345SecretKeyHidden54321"
NEVERCACHE_KEY = "12345NevercacheKeyHidden54321"

DATABASES = {
"default": {
# Ends with "postgresql_psycopg2", "mysql", "sqlite3" 
or "oracle".
"ENGINE": "postgresql_psycopg2", 
#django.db.backends.sqlite3


This is your local database. Unless you have a postgresql database 
running locally, change it to back to `sqlite3`. N.B. these need 
to be fully qualified, so 
`django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2`.



# DB name or path to database file if using sqlite3.
"NAME": "", #dev.db


Change the above value back to `dev.db` unless you are definitely 
using postgresql locally, in which case the value should be the 
name of the database. If you don't know, just use SQLite! If you 
are using SQLite, comment out the `USER`, `PASSWORD`, `HOST`, and 
`PORT` keys below.



# Not used with sqlite3.
"USER": "",
# Not used with sqlite3.
"PASSWORD": "",
# Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with 
sqlite3.

"HOST": "",
# Set to empty string for default. Not used with 
sqlite3.

"PORT": "",
}
}

###
# DEPLOY SETTINGS #
###

# Domains for public site
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ["myCustomRoute53domain.me"]


This should be fine. You might also add `127.0.0.1` and/or 
`localhost` for debugging on "locally" on your server.




# These settings are used by the default fabfile.py provided.
# Check fabfile.py for defaults.

FABRIC = {
 "DEPLOY_TOOL": "git",  # Deploy with "git", "hg", or 
 "rsync"

 "SSH_USER": "ec2-user",  # VPS SSH username
 "HOSTS": ["54.219.###.###"],  # The IP address of your VPS
 "DOMAINS": ALLOWED_HOSTS,  # Edit domains in ALLOWED_HOSTS
 "REQUIREMENTS_PATH": "requirements.txt",  # Project's pip 
 requirements

 "LOCALE": "en_US.UTF-8",  # Should end with ".UTF-8"
 "DB_PASS": "default",  # Live database password
 "ADMIN_PASS": "default",  # Live admin user password

Color is a terrible way to differentiate. I'm reading and writing

The fabfile installs mezzanine and git as part of the build 
process. Installing them yourself isn't gonna get you anywhere, 
but sure is a good exercise.


advance to anyone who can help. So far whatever values I put 
only result in

"fab all" and other fab commands hanging with no response.


You can `ssh ec2-user@54.219.###.###` no problem?
