Well, now that I looked into it, about a week ago I did fix a bug with version checking so that's probably why it's not triggering. To manually invoke the update, you can paste this into your address bar and magic should happen :)

P.S. Once the auto-checking is working, the attached screenshot shows what the masthead is supposed to look like.

Enis,


running the default EC2 AMI (2011-03-22), cluster was started for the first time about ten days ago so this is odd. I'll read up on how to manually update CM.

Thanks!

Hi Oliver,
A message in the masthead/top of the page main CloudMan console page
offering to update CloudMan should show up automatically on page refresh
when a version of CloudMan newer than the one currently running one
exists in the default cloudman bucket. This functionality was added a
few months ago now so if your instance is older, it won't work like
that. In that case, it should be fine to manually download cm.tar.gz
from 'cloudman' bucket and upload it to your cluster's bucket (replacing
the current file there - although make a copy of the current file in
case things don't work out as expected) and restart the instance.

   It's not related to an AMI but to Cloudman itself. When was it you
   created the given cluster? If it's been in the last 5 days, the link
   should be there (take a look at the most recent newsbrief - there is
   a snapshot of the admin link & interface there:
   https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Features/DevNewsBrief/2011_06_23).
   If your cluster was older than that, Cloudman should have a option
   in the masthead to update it automatically. If you are to update,
   the link should show up. Let me know if neither is the case and
   we'll work on it more.

   is there a way to update CloudMan through the older admin page as
   well (/cloud/admin)? It already has the Update Galaxy button and
   passes on the galaxy-central bitbucket URL to an 'update_galaxy'
   script, but doesn't seem to trigger anything beyond that (whether
   Galaxy itself is running or not).

   Best, Oliver

   want to revert to what you had before, feel free to pull in the
   default universe_wsgi.ini.cloud file from 'cloudman' bucket on S3
   and upload it to your cluster's bucket.
