Hi,
I was trying to run COMSOL on amazon.
While file following the link "www.comsol.com/shared/downloads/RunningCOMSOLOnTheAmazonCloud.pdf",
I face errors when trying to install COMSOL on the AMI. When I try to install COMSOL into the remote terminal: " cd ~/Private/comsol/COMSOL43b_dvd/setup ami", i get this error:
"bash: cd: /root/Private/comsol/COMSOL43b_dvd/setup: No such file or directory"

Hi Arpita,

I apologize for your troubles. We now only support running version 5.0 on the Amazon cloud, and have made the process much easier through Amazon's CloudFormation. For instructions on how to accomplish that please see this user's guide document: cdn.comsol.com/doc/5.0/RunningCOMSOLOnTheAmazonCloud.pdf

I hope this helps.
Best Regards,

Thank you for the link, it helped!

I was trying to follow the steps given in the pdf.
While making the cloud formation stack, it's asking for a key-value pair.
Every try is giving the same error:
"Template validation error: Parameter KeyName failed to satisfy constraint: can contain only alphanumeric characters, spaces, dashes and underscores."

Could you possibly give a few sample key-value pair names that might work?

You bet, I am going through the procedure right now. I created a key called "mp" and one called "COMSOLAWS". You can name you key anything you like, just do not include any special characters in it.

Robert
