Aws ec-2 instance

[ghost]

I have installed Eve on Aws instance.

Should I be passing any flags such as port, no browser?

What should be appended to the instance url? /8080/editor or something else?

The server dies as soon as I try anything unfortunately.

We haven't done much work to make Eve hostable yet, so I'm not sure what will break. In theory, you need to make port 8080 accessible and then you'd go to:

http://aws-ip-address:8080/editor

Please let us know if you run into any other issues doing so (with stack traces and any other information you can provide) and we'll do what we can to support you.

Thanks for the fast reply Chris.

Just for the record: Ubuntu 14.04

The app is actually visible at the url but there is a message at the top to say that the server is dead.

Xdg wants to open a file on the installed browser presumably?

If there is anything that you want me to try or report back on just let me know.

[joshuafcole]

Yep, xdg-open relies on having some sort of desktop manager installed to open files based on mime type. I'll add in a detection flag and a warning so it doesn't pollute the logs of people using Eve remotely.

Are you running the latest stable eve? There was a bug that had a similar result for other users that has since been fixed. Please also paste the crash log from the server after you attempted to connect if the problem persists.
