Problem with "euca" tools execution over the community cloud

Hi guys,

I was trying to execute some of the "euca" tools over "http://ecc.eucalyptus.com:8773/services/Eucalyptus/", e.g. "euca-describe-images" failed with the following:

[root@localhost nikola]# euca-describe-images -a -U http://ecc.eucalyptus.com:8773/services/Eucalyptus/
Warning: failed to parse error message from AWS: :7:2: mismatched tag
Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/euca2ools/__init__.py", line 1079, in display_error_and_exit
dom = minidom.parseString(msg)

parser.Parse(string, True)
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: mismatched tag: line 1, column 110

=====================================================

Does anyone have idea what could be wrong ?

Regards,
Nikola.

Not sure, but you should have

Not sure, but you should have to specify the URL with the "-U" option if you just run ". eucarc" after unzipping the credentials that you downloaded from the web site (there should be a file called eucarc in the zip).

Hello, I suspect neil wanted

Hello,

I suspect neil wanted to say that you should NOT have to specify the URL after sourcing the eucarc.
