How does a user navigate the TurnKey Hub interface? Upon entry into TurnKey Hub, I'm launched into a admin home page with no instructions on how to access or use the installed MediaWiki appliance.
Thank you,
A.M.

I don't follow...
Could you provide some more information on what you mean by the "admin home page", and where you are getting stuck?
In general, the user experience goes something like this:
I hope the above helps, but the more information you can provide as to where you are getting stuck, the easier it will be to help.
Unregister Server, Re-registration Successful
Alon-
Thanks for your message. Unregistering the previous server and re-registering a new EC2 proved successful—and easy. Previously, I made the mistake of clicking on the Web Management page, which was disorienting.
How do I link this Amazon EC2 server to my website host to create the universally accessible "mediawiki.example.com"? I have already created said subdomain.
Thank you,
A.M.
It should be enough to just point the domain...
It should be enough to just point the domain (DNS A record) to the IP address of the server running on EC2. If not, let me know, you might need to tweak the mediawiki settings, but I doubt it.
You might want to use an Elastic IP (translating Amazon's weird lingo, that means a static IP address that doesn't change). This would allow you keep the same DNS record, even if you terminate the server and launch a new one.
Regarding webmin (the web management interface), when clicking on the link it should open up in a new window/tab - didn't that happen? Do you have any suggestions that would make this clearer for other users?
I'm at a loss regarding the unregister/reregister, but I'm glad it's working for you now.
MediaWiki Manual: Short URL
FYI: I "terminated" a server and registered my Amazon account. Webamin did open in a new window, but I'm unsure what to do: Webamin Actions Log, Webadmin Configuration, Webadmin Servers Index, or Webadmin users.
I'm writing to ask why the TurnKey MediaWiki Appliance configures the following:
http://IP Address/index.php/Main_Page
As a result, I am unable to follow the follwing directions: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL#Setup_steps
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
A.M.
