When 'Stop' fails...

[rmiles]

... what should I do next?

I just deployed and ran a Grails app on a single instance architecture just fine. I then requested that the deployment stop, and I get the message:

* Stop : FAILED (8 minutes ago)
* Launch : COMPLETED (27 minutes ago)

And yep, the minutes are just ticking up... and all 3 components are still running, including the Apache Httpd, tcServer and MySQL.

So... what next? Is there a button I can use to kick the restart into 'aggressive' mode? As far as I can tell this is still racking up the cost of running, even while the deployment is 'Stopping', with no end in sight just yet...

I got my instance to terminate using the regular AWS Management Console. Would be nice to have the same sort of 'terminate now, darnit!' functionality in Cloud Foundry? Or am I missing something obvious?

Any chance you have saved the log?

[rmiles]

Attached should be the log as it is currently on the deployment that is, still, 'Stopping'

[rmiles]

Weird, but not terrible. I just deployed the same application using a number of instances and it started and stopped with no problems at all.

Anyway, keep up the great work guys, by and large this has been a tremendously straightforward experience and, imo, is just what the cloud needs!

Thank you!
