This is a demo for building scalable web applications using various AWS building blocks.

The demo code only contains two PHP files: config.php and index.php. The aws-sdk-for-php contains AWS SDK for PHP version 2.7.17.

A step by step tutorial is available in the wiki.

web-demo's Issues

Remove $ symbol from each command in wiki

it would be helpful if $ symbol removed before running command. I got below command when I clicked copy button.

$ sudo apt-get install awscli apache2
$ sudo apt-get install php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql php-curl php-xml php-memcached php-mbstring

(7) level 6, Kinesis Agent not starting

Hi John,

When I follow the wiki doing (7) level 6, it worked all good on one ec3 instance. However after I create a new AMI from the working instance, and then create a new launch configuration to edit the autoscaling group, the new instance launched by autoscaling group cannot send logs to Kinesis. I ssh into the new ec2 instance, and found that the kinesis-agent was exit, and the error is

• Failed to create or connect to the checkpoint database

I googled the error and found a discussion here
awslabs/amazon-kinesis-agent#39

I followed the suggestion, and it solved the problem.

Just let you know this issue, and please ignore if you do it on purpose and leave it to us for troubleshooting.

Thanks,
Sida

RDS Master Username Update

In Level 1, Step 3:
$ mysql -h [endpoint-of-rds-instance] -u root -p

The default master username of a MySQL RDS instance is "admin", not "root".

Suggest updating this step to either specify to change the default master username in the create step, or use the correct default in the connect step.
