Stuck at waiting for instance status checks to pass

[ghost]

Hi,

Whenever i run the script it wont go past waiting for "instance status checks to pass", ive left it on for about an hour and it hasnt moved from there. i can confirm from my amazon panel that the instances are running and the checks are 2/2. Some help please?

The script will check 45 times + the count of instances you have asked for, after that it will continue with as many instances as Amazon has been able to build in that time. The time is dependent on the speed of response from each call to amazon to check instance status.

So, if the call to get the instance count or the call for getting the instance status are returning rubbish then that will break this code.

Try using Set -x in the script or inserting bash -x at the start of the command for a more detailed output.

So i tried the bash -x. Can you give me an example of valid bash -x comments that i should expect when the amazon server is functioning properly. If it helps: I trying to run this off a US-EAST micro instance of Ubuntu 12

[oliverlloyd]

What happens when you run with the defaults? (eu, ami-e1e8d395, valid security group etc.) Post the output from Set -x here.

Hi, I have done so with the default script properties but again it doesnt detect when the instances are ready.

It doesn't detect the instances are ready because you CTRL-C out of the script before it has chance to find them. You have to wait, it can take several minutes.

Also, you have status_check_limit set to 14, this should be 45. Set it to a higher value and then do not cancel the script before it has time to complete. Go make a cup of tea of something.
