EJBCA in EC2

[jasoncallaway]

Apologies ahead of time if this is the wrong forum.

Has anybody been able to successfully install EJBCA in Amazon EC2? I seem to be having trouble with the Elastic IP NATing with regard to JNDI naming.

I'm using the 12.04 LTS AMI (ami-3fec7956 in the Eastern region), and I'm using EJBCA 4.0.14 and JBoss 5.1.0.GA (which seems to be the latest version supported by ejbca.org).

ant bootstrap completes without errors.

Relevant failure from ant install:

Thanks!

Sorry that last error was not representative of what I normally see. This is more like it:

Solved by EJBCA support folks. See https://sourceforge.net/p/ejbca/disc...read/71db197e/.

I have the same problem with Ubuntu 12.04 / openjdk-6-amd64. When lauching the ant install it fails as mentioned. The link provided above refers to the installation sequence that I stritcly followed step by step. It doesn't solve the problem.
Many similar issues exists on the web and I've never found any valuable answer. It's very disapointed
