In case you are still not sure what I am doing. i am initiating an EC2-API call from an EC2 instance such like to get the AMI to snapshot its self at regular intervals using ec2-create-snapshot via the AWS host account credentials. The account credentials definitely work as I have this working from ubuntu 12.04 running on a desktop pc into the same AWS account backing up the opensuse 12.2 box in the meantime - please help - this has a big impact for opensuse in the amazon cloud as it is preventing AMI self automation Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

From a running EC2 AMI at opensuse 12.2 1.Install java JRE 1.7.0 or 1.6.0 2.install ec2-api-tools 3.set up your environment variables as per AWS instructions 4.Run a test command like ec2-describe-images -o amazon and successfully see all the public AMI machines (images) 5.Run a test command like ec2-describe-images -o self and FAIL to see your own images, shows no output at all

Actual Results: There are no error messages the command just looks like it runs but there is no output Expected Results: I would expect the ec2-api-tools commands to be able to connect into the hosing AWS account to see the private images in the account and run self snapshots etc or varoius ec2-api-tools commands I am also using the following environment variables export EC2_HOME=/usr/lib/AmazonEC2/ec2-api-tools/ export PATH=$PATH:$EC2_HOME/bin/ export EC2_URL=https://ec2.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com export AWS_USER_ID="------------" # AWS Account Number export AWS_ACCESS_KEY="------------" # AWS Access Key ID export AWS_SECRET_KEY="------------" # AWS Secret Access Key export EC2_CERT="/------------" # Path to EC2 X.509 export EC2_PRIVATE_KEY="/------------" # Path to EC2 private key -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
