Amazon EC2 Appliance

Hello -

Have been trying to instument the Amazon EC2 appliance. After the intial setup curve (new to Amazon instance servers) was able to login to the loadUI appliance. Was even able to connect to it with a LOAD UI agent. After logging into th Amazon server via putty, verifed the amazon server was active and could hit my cloud server from a simple curl execution.

The trouble came when I try to run any cases using the Amazon agent. No matter what I seem to try I am not able to get the agent to fire against my cloud server..

What might I be doing wrong? Thank you kindly for your much appreciated help \ advice.

    Looks like this turned out to be a firewall issue.

    I launched the client specifying two ports \ http and https >
    ./loadUI-agent.sh -Dloadui.https.port=4711 -Dloadui.http.port=1337

    In addition to opening the ports 4711 and 1337 I also needed to open 'UDP' port 13572, for agent discovery.
    Bottom line is this, in troubleshooting I should have turned my firewall off. Duh..

    The agents are now able to connect!!

    Glad you got it working! UDP port 13572 is used for automatic agent discovery as you stated, but it shouldn't be required for connectivity. Maybe there was something else wrong as well?
