Chapter 5, p134: can't create elasticbeanstalk application version if region != us-east-1

Hi,

I config my aws at ap-southeast-2, when I run the command to create an application version

$ aws elasticbeanstalk create-application-version --application-name etherpad --version-label 1.5.2 --source-bundle S3Bucket=awsinaction,S3Key=code/chapter5/etherpad.zip An error occurred (InvalidParameterCombination) when calling the CreateApplicationVersion operation: Unable to download from S3 location (Bucket: awsinaction Key: code/chapter5/etherpad.zip). Reason: The bucket is in this region: us-east-1. Please use this region to retry the request

I tried adding '--region ap-southeast-2' or '--region us-northeast-1' but both didn't work. I'm confused about the error. What do I have to modify to work? Thanks.

Chapter 6.4.2 - Allowing ICMP traffic

Hi,
When i try "ping ec2-52-5-109-147.compute-1.amazonaws.com" in my terminal, i receive the expected output of the non-working ping (Request timeout....).

The issue I'm having is that after I've created the appropriate stack with the right template (https://amazonaws.com/awsinaction/chapter6/firewall2.json, I'm still receiving the same 'Request timeout' output. The stack has completed successfully, so I'm not sure what to do.

Please help whenever you can.

Chapter 5: etherpad won't run on new AMI due to node version conflict

After deploying etherpad on elasticbeanstalk and going to the address of the application, i get 'bad gateway' error.

I check the log and in the first few lines:

npm ERR! npm owner ls etherpad-lite
npm ERR! There is likely additional logging output above.

npm ERR! Please include the following file with any support request:
npm ERR! /var/app/current/npm-debug.log

etherpad-lite@ start /var/app/current
bin/run.sh

You're running a wrong version of node, or io.js is not installed. You're using v6.10.0, we need v0.8.x, v0.10.x, v0.11.x or v0.12.x

npm ERR! Linux 4.4.44-39.55.amzn1.x86_64

A quick solution is downgrading the environment to an older version of the AMI on the web mangement interface. I used the v2015 one.

Not sure if it's my config or something else.
It strips off file extension upon upload.
Then image is blank on the page

Listing 5.1 doesn't work in Windows PowerShell without changes

You indicate that you're using the command line by prepending "$ " to the commands.

For instance:
$ aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name vpn --query Stacks[0].Outputs --output text

For the initialization of variables you need to prepend a $ to the variable identifier.

Won't work:
$ VpcId=$(aws ec2 describe-vpcs --query Vpcs[0].VpcId --output text)

Will work:
$ $VpcId=$(aws ec2 describe-vpcs --query Vpcs[0].VpcId --output text)
