Amazon ECS image "First Boot" is not possible (it's been booted)--how do I get passwords?
I am pulling my hair out! Please before I jump....
From Amazon EC2 I started the appliance/image of:
turnkey-vtiger-11.3-lucid-x86.ebs
The issue is there is no "first boot" access. The image from the library had already been booted. I have tried everything with regards to passwords for PHPMyAdmin, MYSQL and most importantly vTiger. I could change the Linux root password but that was it (using Amazon Key Pair) to login. I was hoping they (image creator) would have set admin/admin or admin/password etc since with EC2 you can't "boot" off a install disk--there is no console for this.
How can I recover/find the application passwords that were set during first boot and the "inihooks" process?
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Reply 1This is whats needed I think
Reply 2I believe that after first boot you need to run "turnkey-init" , to allow you to enter the usernames and passwords that are required .
Take a look here: /docs/ec2
Or launch via the Hub
Reply 3IMO the Hub is your best option. Then you can preseed passwords via the WebUI when you launch the server.
Guys,
That worked... I had to dig to find the root in the log, then ran the init scripts. I am NOT an Linux admin by any means but I got the job done.
GREAT project by the way. I am always willing to support your kind of efforts. Do you guys do Linux consulting support on the side for your instances at Turnkey...
Please advise.
