When i run euca-run-instances -k testkey --kernel eki-F63A10EF --ramdisk eri-0ABB115E emi-DFFF107A i am getting following error.... [I] root@sam-laptop:~# euca-run-instances -k testkey --kernel eki-F63A10EF --ramdisk eri-0ABB115E emi-DFFF107A EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable must be set. [COLOR=Red]Connection failed[/COLOR][/I]

How to setup [COLOR=RoyalBlue]EC2_ACCESS_KEY environment variable[/COLOR]? Kindly some one help me.... Thanks in advance...

You need to read the documentation mate... you need to source your eucarc file to get the environment variables set up correctly, after downloading them from the interface.

login and run ". ~/.eucarc" you really need to read the document to get this going. I still have problem keeping the instances up and running, they terminate in 30 seconds or so.

Thanks Peter... I will read the documentation....

Thanks baboli....
