Go to the directory to protect and type in the shell

htpasswd -c -m .htpasswd webuser

-c means create file.
-m MD5 algorithm.

htpasswd -n -bm  webuser 123456

I created two cluster servers and one management server for MySQL Cluster

AMI: Minimal Fedora Core 8, 32-bit architecture, Apache 2.0, and Amazon EC2 AMI Tools
MySQL Cluster version 7.1
Fedora Version: 8
Security Group: default

1) Download RPM files
From http://www.mysql.com/downloads/cluster/#downloads all rpm files for Red Hat & Oracle Enterprise Linux for (x86, 32-bit).

2) In each instance

yum --enablerepo=remi erase mysql mysql-libs mysql-server mysqlclient15.i386
rpm -iv MySQL-Cluster-gpl-*

3) Config Management Server
Server IP ( ec2-79-11-111-11.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com )

vi /var/lib/mysql-cluster/config.ini
[NDBD DEFAULT]
NoOfReplicas=2
[MYSQLD DEFAULT]
[NDB_MGMD DEFAULT]
[TCP DEFAULT]
# Managment Server
[NDB_MGMD]
HostName=ec2-79-11-111-11.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com		# the IP of THIS SERVER
# Storage Engines
[NDBD]
HostName=ec2-79-22-222-22.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com		# the IP of the FIRST SERVER
DataDir= /var/lib/mysql-cluster
[NDBD]
HostName=ec2-79-33-333-33.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com		# the IP of the SECOND SERVER
DataDir=/var/lib/mysql-cluster
# 2 MySQL Clients
# I personally leave this blank to allow rapid changes of the mysql clients;
# you can enter the hostnames of the above two servers here. I suggest you dont.
[MYSQLD]
[MYSQLD]

ndb_mgmd -f /var/lib/mysql-cluster/config.ini

The Management Server is now ready, you can check the conexions with the other servers doing this

ndb_mgm
ndb_mgm> show
Cluster Configuration
---------------------
[ndbd(NDB)]	2 node(s)
id=2	@79.22.222.22  (mysql-5.1.44 ndb-7.1.4, Nodegroup: 0, Master)
id=3	@79.33.333.33  (mysql-5.1.44 ndb-7.1.4, Nodegroup: 0, Master)

[ndb_mgmd(MGM)]	1 node(s)
id=1	@79.11.111.11  (mysql-5.1.44 ndb-7.1.4)

[mysqld(API)]	2 node(s)

id=5	@79.33.333.33  (mysql-5.1.44 ndb-7.1.4)

4) Config Cluster Servers
Cluster Server IPs: (ec2-79-22-222-22.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com and ec2-79-33-333-33.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com )

/etc/my.cnf
[mysqld]
ndbcluster
ndb-connectstring=ec2-79-11-111-11.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com     # the IP of the MANAGMENT SERVER
[mysql_cluster]
ndb-connectstring=ec2-79-11-111-11.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com	# the IP of the MANAGMENT SERVER

/usr/sbin/ndbd --initial

/etc/init.d/mysql start

5) Testing
You can check in FIRST or SECOND server this and it will be duplicated in both servers.

mysql -u root -p
use test;
CREATE TABLE ctest (i INT) ENGINE=NDBCLUSTER;
INSERT INTO ctest () VALUES (1);
SELECT * FROM ctest;

6) Starting and Shutting down the MySQL Cluster
Starting
Management Server: db_mgmd -f /var/lib/mysql-cluster/config.ini
Cluster Servers: ndbd

Shutting down
Management Server: ndb_mgm> shutdown

Notes
Error: ERROR 1005 (HY000): Can’t create table ‘test.ctest’ (errno: 157)
Try to track the error with SHOW WARNINGS; When I have this problem I had disabled SELinux with “setenforce 0″.

Error: There is no populating changes trough the cluster servers.
Make sure they are connected each other, you can check this from management server with ndb_mgm> SHOW
Also double check all servers are in the security group “default” to leave the ports open. (see image)

How to create an instance for Magento in Amazon Cloud EC2

You can also get this ebs Image in Amazon EC2. Choose “426063643107/Magento 1.4.x on Fedora 8″
when you launch an instance in the tab “Community AMIs”
MySQL Admin Username: root Password: 123456

Once the image is initialized
a) Install Magento 1.4.1.1 (For demo store follow 5.1)
In your browser go to: http://YOUREC2NAME.compute-1.amazonaws.com/magento/
b) Install Magento 1.4.1.1 DEMO Version
In your browser go to: http://YOUREC2NAME.compute-1.amazonaws.com/magento-demo/

1) Choose the simplest Instance Fedora Core 8 (AMI Id: ami-df1e35ab)
Minimal Fedora Core 8, 32-bit architecture, Apache 2.0, and Amazon EC2 AMI Tools.

2) Installing Remi Repository with Apache, MySQL and PHP

wget http://rpms.famillecollet.com/remi-release-8.rpm
rpm -Uvh remi-release-8.rpm
vi /etc/apt/sources.list.d/remi.list # Uncomment: repomd http://rpms.famillecollet.com/ fc$(VERSION).$(ARCH)

# Installing MySQL
#
yum --enablerepo=remi install mysql mysql-server mysql-devel

# Installing Http Server with PHP
#
yum --enablerepo=remi install php php-mysql php-common php-gd php-mbstring php-mcrypt php-devel php-xml

# Config MySQL
#
/usr/bin/mysqladmin -u root password '123456'

# Config Apache
#
# /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.con on Line 326 change
AllowOverride None
# to
AllowOverride All
# inside <Directory "/var/www/html"> ... </Directory>

# /etc/php.ini Activate this line to read <? tags
short_open_tag = On

#Try it out with the usual script in /var/www/html/test.php
&lt;?php
phpinfo();
?>

3) Installing Exim Mail Server

yum install exim
/etc/init.d/exim start
mail -s "testing" your@emailaddress.com
Testing purpose!
.
Cc:
# Your Mail Server should be running properly

4) SFtp Server Access

# Just using a SFtp Client Server Vicomsoft Ftp Client
#  configure a new connection without password and use
#  the option "Use SSH keyfile (SFTP only)" to add your
#  .pem file
#  Or just use
sshfs -i MYSECRETKEY.pem root@YOUREC2NAME.compute-1.amazonaws.com:/ /

5) Using ntsysv command choose the next services to start automatically
sendmail
httpd
mysqld

6) Optionally you can give NFS support to share files between images

#Server1
[root@server1]# vi /etc/exports
/var/www/html *(rw)

[root@server1]# /etc/init.d/rpcbind start

[root@server1]# /etc/init.d/nfs start
#Server2
[root@server2]# mount -o nolock ec2-79-xxx-xx-xxx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:/var/www/html /mnt

7) Download and uncompress Magento versions in /var/www/html

CHANGELOG
File /etc/php.ini change short_open_tag = On
