New Instance just hangs

spencer_shaw · September 12, 2016, 2:41pm

I have created a new instance based on this documentation:

WPO-Foundation/webpagetest/blob/master/docs/EC2/Server AMI.md

There is now a server AMI for WebPageTest for quickly spinning up a private instance.

* us-east-1: [ami-fcfd6194](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-east-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-fcfd6194)
* us-west-1: [ami-e44853a1](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-west-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-e44853a1)
* us-west-2: [ami-d7bde6e7](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=us-west-2#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-d7bde6e7)
* sa-east-1: [ami-0fce7112](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=sa-east-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-0fce7112)
* eu-west-1: [ami-9978f6ee](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=eu-west-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-9978f6ee)
* eu-central-1: [ami-22cefd3f](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=eu-central-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-22cefd3f)
* ap-southeast-1: [ami-88bd97da](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=ap-southeast-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-88bd97da)
* ap-southeast-2: [ami-eb3542d1](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=ap-southeast-2#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-eb3542d1)
* ap-northeast-1: [ami-66233967](https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home?region=ap-northeast-1#LaunchInstanceWizard:ami=ami-66233967)

When you launch the instance, make sure to allow HTTP traffic through your EC2 firewall configuration/security group.  You should probably also check ```/home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys``` and make sure previous keys from when the instances were created are not carried forward.

Some of the features of the server AMI are:
* Pre-configured with locations for all of the EC2 regions
* Will automatically start and stop test agents in regions as necessary to run tests
    * Default config limits Agents to 1 instance at a time in each region
    * Test agents will be terminated if they have been running for close to an hourly increment (since they are billed hourly) and haven't had work in the last 15 minutes
* Defaults to a headless instance requiring API keys and use through the API only

However the new instance just hangs:
e.g. http://52.210.130.253/result/160912_RK_2/

Any advice?

If i got to http://52.210.130.253/install/ it says no agents are connected. Can anyone help?

Anything interesting in the WPT web server error logs?
