Ipcluster plugin is not working with Ipython 1.0dev

[mqlaql]

I have been running starcluster 0.94 with the ipcluster plugin without issues, however, when I try to use ipython 1.0 dev, I simply can't access the notebook. Starcluster provides the notebook url (https://ec2-xx-xx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8888) but I get a 404.

Is this a known bug or do I need to configure something else to get it to work?

Running current starcluster (develop branch) and IPython (master), the ipcluster plugin seems to work just fine.

How are you trying to use IPython 1.0-dev?

[mqlaql]

I have pip installed Ipython 1.0-dev in an AMI using the following template:

[plugin ipcluster]
SETUP_CLASS = starcluster.plugins.ipcluster.IPCluster
ENABLE_NOTEBOOK = True
NOTEBOOK_PASSWD = password

[cluster iptemplate]
cluster_user = user
KEYNAME = mykey

CLUSTER_SIZE = 1
CLUSTER_SHELL = bash

NODE_IMAGE_ID = my-ami
AVAILABILITY_ZONE = us-east-1d
NODE_INSTANCE_TYPE = m1.large
plugins = ipcluster

(I omitted aws info and global settings)

And finally run:

starcluster start -b x.xx --force-spot-master iptemplate

[minrk]

can you ssh to the cluster and try to see what's going on?

[mqlaql]

I can ssh via starcluster sshmaster iptemplate. What should I try to find out?

[minrk]

see if the notebook is running, maybe try to start another notebook instance and connect to that.

Now it's working. When I started another notebook I got an error related to Jinja. The notebook did run but with a text-based interface.

Maybe Jinja wasn't a dependency before.

It would be nice to output those errors when an instance is created.

Thank you for your help.

The notebook did run but with a text-based interface.

This would be w3m. To prevent it from opening, start the notebook with --no-browser.

Maybe Jinja wasn't a dependency before.
