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.

Enis,

> The admin interface is something that I added just last week. 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

I'd suggest using vi to check the file and make sure it follows the formatting of universe_wsgi.ini.sample for example. Then, try uploading the file again. BTW, it's required for the file to have the .cloud extension.

If you 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.
