Unable to browse to site - could be an issue with the file transfer to EBS

Sorry for posting in the screencast comments, I think this is the right place for this issue.

I also received the same errors above when trying to install Drupal 6.8

In opening the console output I have the following error

05:33:12 (2.78 MB/s) - `drupal-6.8.tar.gz.1' saved [1074294/1074294]

Thanks for posting this AMI and I would appeciate any assistance on what I could be doing wrong.

Thanks

Hi folks,

We were able to reproduce the problems described here, and believe we have fixed them in the new version of this AMI, which you can find referenced by ID ami-2a8a6d43. Please try booting this AMI out and update this issue if the problems persist.

I am having a similar issue with the new AIM:

moving existing document root to ebs volume.
moving existing database to ebs volume.
moving my.cnf to ebs volume.
moving existing httpd to ebs volume.
ln: `./httpd': cannot overwrite directory
moving existing php.ini to ebs volume.
moving existing php.d to ebs volume.
ln: `./php.d': cannot overwrite directory

Is there any fix for this?

I can confirm that this error still exists with the latest AMI.

I receive the same error as simonyost.

Any guidance would be appreciated

Thanks
Gregg

bump... this would be so cool to get working...

Not sure if anyone still needs this help but I was having the same problem and thought if I fixed the problem I would come back and tell you how I fixed it.
Used fdisk /dev/sdj to create my partition
Used mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdj
Used mkdir /ebs1 to create mount point (forgot to do this the first time)
and then Mounted the EBS with mount /dev/sdj /ebs1

Now if you get an error while using fdisk like i did after trying to reformat my ebs volume, you will need to go ahead and type reboot to restart the server and then proceed with the install.
