I had a perfectly running lamp stack VM on my own ESXi server, this stack was set to backup to S3.  Since i'm in between servers i thought I'd get my feet wet with tklbam Ec2. I followed the tklbam prompts to get Ec2 up then spawned an EC2 instance of my LAMP stack from an S3 backup.  problem is that the status of this server in my hub has been "installing updates" for over 24 hours.  I've tried accessing the web console, webmin and ftp using the reported "external dns" address and appending the proper ports, but no luck.   Pardon my frustration, but ARRRGGGH!!!!!!!!!!!!
