So I am starting up a new neo4j instance in aws ec2 using neo4j community edition from the aws marketplace: https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/B071P26C9D
The machine comes up and I set up an elastic public IP. However, when I try logging in with the default credentials neo4j/neo4j through the web neo4j browser, I get an invalid credential error.
Anyone know if the creds are different when using the marketplace ami?
Well, this is kinda embarrassing. But I just realized that there is a tab labeled usage instructions under the ec2 instance. The text under the tab instructs me to use the instance id of the ec2 instance as the default password and that worked.

I am attempting to create and connect to an Amazon EC2 instance via FidOS. I am following the procedure demonstrated in:
How to Create Amazon AWS EC2 Instance
I logged onto the AWS Console and created a general purpose Ubuntu Server Machine image.
I configured the instance details, added storage, added tags, and configured the Security Group just as in the video.
I clicked "Review and Launch" and created and downloaded the PEM key.
I generated the PPK private key using PuttyGen.
I configured my session using the public DNS in the Host Name field and uploading the private PPK key in the Authorization tab.
After I clicked Open, a terminal window appeared, but then timed out.
I am working on a Windows machine, and trying to create a Ubuntu Linux virtual machine.
Am I missing any steps or doing anything wrong? I would appreciate any help I can get.
The problem was the corporate firewall. It worked just fine when I tried it from another location.
Problem explanation: Not able to connect to RDS-MYSQL instance from another EC2 instance. The other instance is an Amazon-Unix.
listed below are the things tried.
Checked the security group [allowed all].
Was trying to install MYSQL monitor.It wasn't successful.
Installed PHP, httpd successfully.
Updated my connect.php with the username password, dbname and with the endpoint details already.
Error message "mysql_native_passwordConnection closed by foreign host".
Do you mean Amazon RDS instance and you have MySQL DB installed on it. If that's what you are asking, you don't have access to instance level in AWS RDS, only DB level access is permitted. The instance is maintained by AWS, so that you can focus on the DB side.
I am new to AWS i am trying to federate aws access with my active directory. So far i have created a Windows Server 2008 [ec2 instance] in a VPC on aws. I have installed AD, DNS, ADFS. I followed all the steps mentioned in this link --> http://blogs.aws.amazon.com/security/post/Tx71TWXXJ3UI14/Enabling-Federation-to-AWS-using-Windows-Active-Directory-ADFS-and-SAML-2-0
I was successful in creating the Windows active directory but i am not able to access it outside the VM. I have created a elastic ip and associated it with that instance as well, since it is created in a VPC.
My requirement is to access the aws management console with my AD details in place of IAM.I am struck with this i don't know where to go from here.
I am very new to AWS, sorry if my terms are wrong.. Kindly help me with this.
I've launched a new EC2 instance, Parse Server powered by Bitnami (HVM)
After installation, The "Analytics" and "App Settings" are missing.
Also, there is no login screen. Anyone who has the IP address can just access the console and change everything.
What have I done wrong? It is a new App, so I don't have the need to migrate an old Parse DB.
You have 2 options here.
Either setup a server side password protection from apache side check this guide. https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-password-authentication-with-apache-on-ubuntu-14-04
Second option is in security group for your EC2 instance for just set this below rule so only you can check the dashboard from your local machine with your IP address also make sure HTTP is not having a rule 0.0.0.0/32 in the security group.
For setting Analytics and App Setting check this guide https://wiki.bitnami.com/Applications/Bitnami_Parse_Server
On an EC2 instance, you can get meta data from a 'local' web server by doing things like:
GET http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/
EC2 also does API key cycling and other magic here. Has anyone built a webserver to duplicate/mock this on development VM's? My Google keywords are failing me here.
Thanks.
