I am running a basic micro instance on Amazon EC2. I am wondering if it is possible to run some remote GUI to work in the system as root?
I want to run a micro instance on EC2 that will serve as a proxy server for my GAE app. I found this article on how to run it on ami-ad7e2ee8:
http://blog.magicalhobo.com/2011/04/11/running-a-reverse-proxy-for-app-engine-on-amazon-ec2/
but that ami seems to be no longer available. Can someone tell me which free-tier ami to use if I want to easily make a proxy server like that, or if it is impossible this way, what other way can I run a proxy server as a free EC2 instance (a step-by-step tutorial would be welcomed)?
I`m new to EC2 and I'm having some problems setting up my first instance. I followed this guide: http://www.robertsosinski.com/2008/01/26/starting-amazon-ec2-with-mac-os-x/ with the difference that I used
ec2-run-instances --instance-type t1.micro ami-7f418316 -k ec2-keypair
to create my instance. When I try going to the public dns provided (ec2-107-22-254-80.compute-1.amazonaws.com) I can't load the page. I tried running the command
ssh -i ec2-keypair [email protected]/
but received this message in the terminal:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname ec2-107-22-254-80.compute-1.amazonaws.com/: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
How do I properly set up a free micro instance on EC2?
