: My guess is that the customized toolkit AMI (ami-1e6b9d76) at AWS is not : accessible by my AWS credentials. Is this an AMI permissioning issue or is : it a problem with my particular account or how it is configured at AWS. I : did not experience this specific problem when working with the previous : iteration of the Solr Scale Toolkit back toward the latter part of May. It : appears that the AMI was updated from ami-96779efe to ami-1e6b9d76 with the : newest version of the toolkit.
I'm not much of an AWS expert, but i seem to recall that if you don't have your AWS security group setup properly this type of error can happen? is it possible that when you were trying out solr-scale-tk before you had this setup, but now you don't? https://github.com/LucidWorks/solr-scale-tk > You'll need to setup a security group named solr-scale-tk (or update the > fabfile.py to change the name). > > At a minimum you should allow TCP traffic to ports: 8983, 8984-8989, > SSH, and 2181 (ZooKeeper).
