I went so far as to temporarily open all Ports to rule that out early this a.m.

Please check you have all necessary ports opened and DB installed/running.

I can get everything installed but OpenMeetings is NOT reachable from the internet. You may not be familiar with AWS but when you launch a Server on AWS EC2 it gets 2 IP addresses, and a PUBLIC DNS name. There is a PUBLIC IP address that can connect to the server from the internet. However, there is also a PRIVATE IP address that is INTERNAL to the AWS cloud and NOT reachable by the internet. my example server: Public DNS: ec2-23-23-198-151.compute-1.amazonaws.com Private DNS: ip-10-76-175-149.ec2.internal Private IP Address: 10.76.175.149 Any application trying to reach my server across the internet would point their URL to the PUBLIC DNS (which by the way the 23-23-198-151 is also the PUBLIC IP just substitute DOTS for the DASHS) An application on the internet could NOT access the Private DNS ip-10-76-175-149.ec2.internal (or 10.76.175.14) as that is internal to the AWS cloud only However, ANY application running ON that server which is set to use either LOCALHOST -or- the PUBLIC DNS -or- the PUBLIC IP ... will automatically be redirected by the AWS Cloud virtualzation itself to the PRIVATE INTERNAL IP Address.... which is NOT reachable by the Internet. For example if I am logged into that openmeetings server and I ping its PUBLIC DNS ec2-23-23-198-151.compute-1.amazonaws.com... I will really be pinging 10.76.175.149 ... the internal private IP. Therefore my OpenMeeting server (and I assume xander's) is NOT reachable from the internet the way OpenMeetings is configured and I get this screen when attempting to access it. It stays at this message forever. Yes, I have checked mysql password, userID and host and they are all correct. http://23.23.198.151:5080/openmeetings/install OpenMeetings - Loading ... The server is not yet completely initialized. Please try again in a couple of seconds. If this message persists for several minutes contact your Sys-Administration. If that message stays forever you should check the logs located in openmeetings_install_dir/log folder, probably your database user/pwd/host is wrong! I have also tried changing "hostname" in these files: /etc/init.d/red5 /usr/lib/red5/webapps/openmeetings/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/persistence.xml and in the mysql openmeetings database to the PUBLIC IP address of the AWS server and restarted everything and I still end up with the above message... waiting forever. So although I can reach something on the AWS Openmeetings server... there is something in the application configuration that is not communicating correctly in the AWS cloud environment. Any ideas or other configuration items I should be checking?
