Over the weekend I tried to fire up and then connect to the movable type and media wiki jumpbox AMIs on Amazon EC2. I was able to launch them from my account but not connect. I followed the tutorial on your blog: http://www.jumpbox.com/node/1244
Per the tutorial instructions, I have security permissions set up for ssh, http, and https. I am able to connect to other Amazon AMIs using all three protocols, so I do not suspect the problem is there.
What happens when I try to connect via web to the public DNS is that I get the self-signed security warning from jumpbox.local and am then redirected to a numeric ip address that never responds. I am connecting via FF3 using elasticfox.
I have downloaded the MT jumpbox and run it on my mac with VMWare fusion just fine. I am not sure what part of the equation I am missing. The redirect really throws me.
[sorry for double posting, seems I did it wrong way the first time.]
issue was the port #
Got it to work. Had the https port number wrong. That one did not match the default setting, and I missed it. Might be worth a highlight in the tutorial.
may have narrowed down the problem
I think the issue is that I set the https port to 343, not 3000
Troubles with public MT Jumpbox on EC2
You will need to make sure at least ports 80 and 3000 are enabled in your security group permissions. If you intend to SSH into the JumpBox or enable SSL for the application you will need to enable 22 (SSH) and 443(HTTPS/SSL) as well.
With just the two required ports open you should be able to access the application and the JumpBox administration portal.
