script stuck at "Priming connections..."

[yunesj]

Hi Joaquin el al.,
I just pip installed cassandralauncher. The script launches the ec2 instances but gets stuck at at "Priming connections..." Would you look into this? If so, please let me know if you need anything.

Thanks!

Hello Jeff,

That method only does a few commands:

ssh-keyscan -t rsa $IP_ADDRESS
ssh-keygen -l -f $KEYSCAN_OUTPUT_FILE

I've seen a single case where the keyscan command failed for an unknown reason, but we magically got around that. Could you try the script again and then check to see what the outputs are for each of the above lines? Make sure to create a new file to house your keyscan output before attempting the second line.

Once I have that information, it should shed some light into why exactly this is failing.

Thanks,
Joaquin
