Hi I successfully installed cloudstack 4.4 onto my laptop (host running ubuntu 14.04, cloudstack management and agent running in a centos6.5 KVM guest) using the Quick Installation Guide for CentOS from the documentation. Every thing so far works fine from the web interface.
What I need to do is to show that cloudstack will work with the ec2 interface as this is what my main users want. (that and the occi as used by EGI Federated cloud, but that's for another day). I'm having some trouble getting EC2 interface to work with cloudstack. I've followed the instruction in http://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/projects/cloudstack-installation/en/latest/optional_installation.html#amazon-web-services-interface, and used the cloudstack-aws-api-register to register a certificate with the cloudstack api and secret keys (generated in the cloudstack web interface). This was successful according to the output of the script. however when I try to use the ec2 interface I get this type of error $ ./ec2-api-tools-1.3-62308/bin/ec2-describe-instances --debug Server: org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBException: Unexpected subelement DescribeInstances com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.Jec2SoapFaultException: SOAP Fault[code=Server, str='org.apache.axis2.databinding.ADBException: Unexpected subelement DescribeInstances'] at com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.Jec2.UnwrapException(Jec2.java:270) at com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.Jec2.describeInstances(Jec2.java:1472) at com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.Jec2.describeInstances(Jec2.java:1433) at com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.cmd.DescribeInstances.invokeOnline(DescribeInstances.java:57) at com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.cmd.BaseCmd.invoke(BaseCmd.java:795) at com.amazon.aes.webservices.client.cmd.DescribeInstances.main(DescribeInstances.java:66) on the management I see in /var/log/cloudstack/awsapi/awsapi.log (my x's) 2014-07-31 16:09:23,595 DEBUG [c.c.b.a.e.AuthenticationHandler] (catalina-exec-int-6:null) X509 cert's uniqueId: EMAILADDRESS=xxxxxxxxxx, CN=xxxx, OU=xxxxx, O=xxxxx, L=xxxxx, ST=xxxxx, C=xx, serial=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 2014-07-31 16:09:23,597 DEBUG [c.c.b.s.UserContext] (catalina-exec-int-6:null) initializing a new [anonymous] UserContext! First is there any know reason why It should not work in 4.4. I've seen reference to various references to cloud-bridge in older documentation but have not touched it yet. thanks dan * Dr Daniel Traynor, Grid cluster system manager * Tel +44(0)20 7882 6560, Particle Physics,QMUL
