Installing on EC2

Pete_Clark

Hi there, I'm trying to install a Vertica cluster on a set of Amazon EC2 instances. I believe I finally got through my issues with user permissions but am running into other issues; before I go much further, thought I should ask.. is there an easier way for me to get up and running using your preconfigured amazon machine images? If so, where can I go to look for documentation on getting started that way?

Actually I'm a bit further now and seem to have gotten past my permissions issues. Now I'm getting another error: "Error parsing validation output: No JSON object could be decoded Validation output: sudo: /opt/vertica/bin/validators.sh: command not found" .. see full output below [abc123@ip-10-0-1-235 ~]$ sudo /opt/vertica/sbin/install_vertica -s agg1,agg2,agg3 -r vertica-6.1.1-0.x86_64.RHEL5.rpm -u dbadmin Vertica Analytic Database 6.1.1-0 Installation Tool Starting installation tasks...

Hi Pete, thanks for checking in! We'll let you know if there is any documentation around this to make the effort a bit easier.
