New poets feature -- River2

[Dave Winer]

Finally, the EC2 For Poets tutorial has the long-promised section on installing River2.

That's done. Now I have a bunch more loose ends to tie up and we'll have a much tighter package.

We should switch this conversation over to the mail list in case someone else can help or has an idea.

Hi Dave,

it works, no complaints this time!

The River:
http://ec2-107-20-72-224.compute-1.amazonaws.com/rivers/admin/

adn hello world:
http://ec2-107-20-72-224.compute-1.amazonaws.com/helloworld/

THe only question I have is about how to get the changes from the river on Ec2 applied to the static river thats accessible via the web. I unsubscribed a lot of feeds and added new ones, but they are not yet visible on the adress included above. I selected "Build" in the river2 homepage, but that only changed the name to "art magazines river", the feeds werent updated.

Is there more I can do than wait?`

Best

We love poets. :-)

Please let me know how it goes.

I'm anxious to know if it works, or if I have more fixing to do.

I have been lurking on the list for about half a year, the great headline "for poets" got me hooked.

I switched the docs to use the new AMI, which is something I forgot to do before posting this email yesterday.

The current AMI is 21.

If that isn't the one you used, then trash this instance and start from the beginning.

Sorry -- you came in at a good time, which is also a bad time. :-)

Hi Dave,

here is what I did: I followed your recommendations to set up a new instance (from here: http://worknotes.scripting.com/april2012/41312ByDw/moreRiver2Checking/ )

However, I am unable to find the admin-password, details of my steps are here:

created a new key pair
created a security group, set up http, https, rdp
launched the server with ec2forpoets15 AMI,
named my instance kittler, selected keys friedrich, security group ada
(there already was a "default" security group when I started AWS, that why I didnt name mine default and did not select default)

woke the server up via rdc: everything there opml, firefox

but in the folder "opml" there is no file adminPassword.txt
I attached a screenshot of the Folder opml

Thus, I didnt get to the exciting part of setting up the river and checking the S3-Bucket problems.

So far, greetings from sunny Hamburg

Daniel, at first I had trouble understanding this report, but then I
decided to do it myself,to see what happens, then I understood and was
able to fix the problem.

Moral of the story -- we need more newbies to try this out, and we
need them to tell us what went wrong! :-)
