Flashphoner and WCS problems

[Neil Canham]

On Friday and today I was unable to get new instances of Web Call Server running on EC2 - using the marketplace AMI I'd used before, I tried creating new EC2 instances of Web Call Server. Everytime, I was unable to connect to the server once it had started on port 8888. I was also unable to log in to the server using the key pair I'd set up.

Then today, I try to go to flashphoner.com and the domain does not resolve.

Am I just doing a lot of things wrong?

Turns out for the EC2 instances I was doing two things wrong:

The user for logging in to the linux console for the WCS AMI on EC2 is 'ec-user' - I had that wrong
The URL for accessing the admin MUST have the trailing slash <ip>:8888/

Still not sure why https://flashphoner.com/ can't be reached, but I guess that will get resolved

Hello
1. If your AWS instance looks unreachable, please check security groups
Perhaps you are using default security group which deny port 8888
More information in docs:
https://docs.flashphoner.com/display/WCS5EN/WCS+in+Amazon+EC2
Anyway you should have at least SSH access.
2. Our web admin had broken DNS few hours ago. It should be fixed now.
