American Tower AWS Access

In order to access the American Tower servers which are hosted via Amazon Web Services, the login process is as follows:

Retrieve the .pem file from the errigal shared dropbox: cd ~/Dropbox/Errigal Shared Documents/Amazon EC2/dev keys

ssh -i atc_key.pem scotty@ec2-54-164-70-0.compute-1.amazonaws.com

ssh -i atc_key.pem scotty@ec2-54-89-235-178.compute-1.amazonaws.com

ssh -i atc_key.pem scotty@ec2-34-234-153-195.compute-1.amazonaws.com

mysql -uroot -p -h atcdb01.ckpotpvjjxpn.us-east-1.rds.amazonaws.com (password in pwSafe)

1. Permission denied (publickey): Usually this is a permissions issue on the .pem file fixed by chmod 600 .pem file.
2. errrigalatcapps1 and errigalatcapps2 do not currently have elastic ip addresses associated with the instances. Therefore if the instance was shutdown and then started back up, the public ip address would have changed. If you are having issues logging in, check the ssh address from the AWS console as follows:
   1. Login to AWS using the following tutorial: AWS Login
   2. Navigate to the N. Virginia Region
   3. Select the instance in the list you want to connect to and check its Public DNS entry on the right hand side of the column list. This is the current dns address that can be used for accessing this instance:
