appscale-run-instances failing to execute

[Adriano Marques]

Hi there!

I'm trying to run a cloud with AppScale, and I'm using the run instances command to achieve that. Everything runs nice during security group creation and instance creation, but while it waits for bootup to finish, I get an exception and it breaks. Then I can't upload an app to the cloud, and need to remove the security group and the newly created instance in order to be able to try to create the cloud again. Here is the output (Removed parts pointing to our other instances):

appscale-run-instances --file . --table cassandra -v --instance_type m1.large --machine ami-d3f133ba --iaas --keyname courrier

About to start AppScale over a cloud environment with the euca tools with instance type m1.large.

Warning: Your application is large enough that it may take a while to upload.

Please wait for your instance to complete the bootup process.

Hello Adriano,
The issue is that your ruby version is not compatible with the tools. You'll have to go into the tools and put large positive sleep intervals instead of 0. For some reason, even if you have ruby 1.8.7, if its not the exact patched version, it is not portable. =(

Oh, got it! Fixed and it worked like a charm! Thanks Navraj!

BTW, I set it to 15... felt like a nice number as a timeout to wait for the instance to bootup.
