Here's a link to someone else having the same error with boto on stackoverflow:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/877072/httpsconnection-module-missing-in-python-2-6-on-centos-5-2">http://stackoverflow.com/questions/877072/httpsconnection-module-missing-in-python-2-6-on-centos-5-2</a></div><div><br></div><div>In short you basically need to recompile Python 2.6 with SSL support. Here's a link to a slightly older doc that does this for python 2.5 on CentOS 5.1:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2008/05/compiling-python-25-with-ssl-support.html">http://agiletesting.blogspot.com/2008/05/compiling-python-25-with-ssl-support.html</a></div><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately this is not something StarCluster or boto can fix by way of code. Either the Python install has SSL support or not. However, boto could do a better job of checking for SSL support and raising an exception with a better error message instructing the user of the *real* problem (Python install not compiled with SSL support). I've filed a bug report about this on boto's issue tracker:</div><div><br></div><div><a href="https://github.com/boto/boto/issues/249">https://github.com/boto/boto/issues/249</a></div><div><br></div><div>If I get some time I might try to hack this in myself.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope that helps,</div><div><br></div><div>~Justin</div><div><br></div><div><br><div><div>On Jul 5, 2011, at 6:58 PM, marcin joachimiak wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hello,<br><br>I'm running into trouble when starting up the starcluster example.
