EC2 appscale up hangs at "starting AppController"

[Wentao Chang]

Hi,

I am a new user of both appscale and Amaze EC2. I've requested AWS free tier service, downloaded and installed AWS CLI, appscale-tools on Mac OS10.10.1, and tried to to deploy my GAE project following the step-by-step instructions in https://github.com/AppScale/appscale/wiki/AppScale-on-Amazon-EC2. However, the appscale up hangs at "Starting AppController...:. 

The log is C&P as follows:

Machine image ami-78f56d10 does exist

Availability zone us-east-1b does exist

Any suggestions where should I put my hands on to resolve this? Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Try logging into your head node using the line:

ssh -i /Users/root/.appscale/appscaleaa02be24858548b18d6de4ce1d0505ed.key ro...@ec2-54-165-114-76.compute-1.amazonaws.com

There you can find logs in /var/log/appscale/. Tar ball those up and send them my way.

Thanks,

Raj

Raj, thanks for your quick response.  There're no logs under /var/log/appscale.  What does that mean?

Thanks,

Wentao

Hi Wentao,

Try running it with verbose set to True on your AppScalefile and report back what the tools are reporting. It is very odd that you see no logs whatsoever in /var/log/appscale on the instance.

Thanks,

Raj

Hi Raj,

The issue is resolved now. The problem is that the phase of "starting AppController" took an extremely long time, and it appeared to me that it hung. I don't know whether it has anything to do with AWS free tier services that I use. It is all working perfectly now, thanks a lot.
