<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I am trying to get starcluster to work in
the eu-west-1b zone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I first migrated the starcluster image to
the eu zone with the kernel and ramdisk used by alestic for their ubuntu 9.10
amd server in the eu zone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I modified the migrated AMI and converted it
into an EBS image instead of an instance-store image.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I then configured my config correctly, but
when I tried to start my cluster I get the following message:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I noticed however that the python scripts
are using the variables define in the config – which is logical –
and override, amongst others, the EC2_CERT variable<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-US>I was wondering whether the EC2_URL
variable is also overridden somewhere<o:p></o:p></span></p>
