linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I have a t1.micro Amazon Linux AMI instance running. Now, I want to access it using VNC so that I get the GUI. I came across Guacamole and the installation instructions for the server side configuration. So, I get it that we need to setup Apache Tomcat on the Linux machine and then install all the required dependencies, edit the configuration files for Tomcat. But, how do I access it from Windows? What is the client side configuration? From what I understood so far, instead of using a VNC Client like TightVNC or VNCViewer, we can use the Web Browser to access the Amazon EC2 instance. I am (HowTos)

Stories similar to Access Amazon Linux EC2 over VNC using Guacamole

I'm on a Linux machine and am trying to replace an Apache2 instance with a Tomcat 6 instance. I shut down the Apache instance by running a kill on the appropriate pid, but when I try to access any pages, I get an error 504 instead of 404. Additionally, when I run the Tomcat 6 instance, I still get the error 504. Requests to port 80 get returned much faster than requests to port 8080.

I have configured SSL in Tomcat 7 on a Red Hat Linux machine.

The problem is that I can access the secure port of HTTPS from that machine only, all the other machines that are connected in network with that machine showing that server is not found.

If I establish the Tomcat in a Windows 7 machine then, I can access it from all the computers.

I have created an Amazon EC2 micro instance, running Amazon AMI. I logged into the server using ssh client. Once it logs in successfully, if I issue the "top" command, the top output never shows up and the command never returns. It constantly waits. I have to kill the ssh session and re-login.

Am using JDK 1.6, tomcat 7.0.32, and Red Hat Linux.

I am running Amazon linux Micro instance.I have configured php,apache and phantomjs in the instance.

When i first accessed the server from a browser 'Avast' antivirus threw me a popup that this site has trojan.

Please help me out.

Maybe I'm missing the point, but I'd like to setup simple VPN access with software VPN to access my private network on Amazon VPC. I thought OpenVPN would be a great solution for this, and I thought it might make sense to put this on the NAT instance that comes with VPC so I don't have to spend money on another instance.

I have an Amazon Linux AMI setup and successfully running code deployed via eclipse and various tools contained on the instance. One of these tools generates a file on the instance and I would like to be able to provide a web link to this generated file and have anyone able to access it.

Any idea how I got about this? Please be specific with each step.

If you use Amazon Web Services EC2 for virtualising your infrastructure, you may find that once you have a few instances started, that it may be hard (especially if you aren't using a configuration management tool) to trace back 'which machine belongs to what security group?' or 'which AMI did I use to bring up this instance?.' Well theres a few quick tricks you can use to get some info out o

We run a simple server using a Linux EC2 instance, which includes a Java applet with a .JAR and associated assets .ZIP file. We're seeing some issues on the client side which suggest the applet is trying to access files from the ZIP directly on the server, e.g http://our-site.com/resources/graphics/sprite.png instead of assets.zip/resources/graphics/sprite.png.
