AWS market place deployed demo not working.

[ger.ballack]

Hi,
I just tried the subscription through AWS market place. The deployed instance cant run,
Using "demo" credentials I see the interface but functionality doesnt work.
Using the "admin" and ec2 instance as password, I am stuck at this screen.



Please suggest next steps.

Please read AWS Marketplace instruction

12. Use the Instance ID of the launched virtual machine as the administrator password:

You have to use Amazon Instance ID as password.

Login: admin
Password: {Your Amazon Instance ID}

This is how you can get the instance ID

wget -q -O - http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id

Example of instance ID:

i-0702ed80da66e2f31c1

Yes i fetched the id from both the instance using cmd and also through AWS console. They are the same.
Still doesn't work and I see a message Forbidden sometimes.

11. Open WCS server web interface https://host.amazonaws.com:8888 in your browser and accept security exception. On license key page enter your commercial or 30 days trial license key

I dont see this option to enter key as per doc but not sure if it is needed for aws deployment.

any chance that I can access through ssh and see/change password?

License key activation is not actual for latest AWS images. The license is built-in.
So you don't need to enter the license manually. We'll remove section 11 from docs.

Yes you can change the password over SSH.

1. Edit file
/usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/conf/database.yml

2. Replace password in the string

admin: {username: admin, password: 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3, active: true}

Here 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3 is md5("admin")
So if you want to drop password to "admin" you have to set hash 21232f297a57a5a743894a0e4a801fc3

3. Restart WCS server.

service webcallserver restart

 

[ger.ballack]

Ok, I did that and logged in as admin but still the services are failing both in demo user and admin.

FAILED
Failed by ICE timeout

If it helps, these are logs and messages I get.

This looks like "step 6"

The issue with admin password has been fixed in the new v. 5.2.629 AMI. Publishing and playing does work. If the "ICE timeout" issue would be reproduced, please provide SSH access to the instance.
