CS on AWS EC2 - testimony & a hint
 
 

Hi All,

I just installed CS on a fresh EC2 server and wanted to share a few hints.

The procedure in ChatScript-Amazon-Server manual work well.

I didn’t compile from CS src, thus I didn’t have to install “Development Tools”. Same for Curl.
I didn’t install Apache PHP etc. It’s easier for me to have some PHP on another server.

1/ Instead of copying CS with winSCP, you may download it directly:

wget https://netix.dl.sourceforge.net/project/chatscript/ChatScript-6.91.zip
unzip ChatScript-6.91.zip 

2/ Cron:

crontab LINUX/jobs.cron 

didn’t work well.

file jobs.cron 

says:

jobs.cronASCII textwith CRLF line terminators 

see http://www.sudosu.in/2012/08/crontab-failure-emails-binsh-1.html

Thus this is what I did:

strings /var/spool/cron/ec2-user > /var/spool/cron/ec2-user.tmp
mv 
/var/spool/cron/ec2-user.tmp /var/spool/cron/ec2-user
file 
/var/spool/cron/ec2-user 

and cron works perfectly now.
