Hi Mick,

What do you get when you try http://46.xx.xxx.xx/ ?

Also, have you checked the Amazon Firewall on port 80?

Nacho,

I’ve fired up your Mage AMI to give it a go as I’ve been trying all day to make a web accessible instance. I’ve then asigned an elastic IP and I do see Mage in /var/www/html but I just can’t figure out how to access this through the web.

I though an elastic IP only takes a few mins. to propagate?? Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks,

Mick

Hi there, I worked for a company with 2 instances. One for MySQL and one for Apache. I’ve never used RDS, it could be a good thing to try!!! :-)
What I’m working now is implementing Mysql Cluster between instances for Magento with elastic load balancers ELB

nacho, thanks for this write up. Can you talk more about how many instances you needed to run Magento? It sounds like you have 1 instance for the content and 1 for the database. Is that right? Are you using RDS?

In my experience we had to split Magento on files / database Medium (5CPU) instances for a company with 30k customers and 250 order/day.
Does it help?

Thanks for this quick run-through on how to install Magento on EC2. We have been using osCommerce for our e-commerce sites, but are thinking about switching to Magento. My question is: how has your experience with Magento on EC2 been so far? Do you use a small instance or a large instance? And do you think running multiple Magento installations on a small instance will impact the server performance?

Thank you! :)
