Getting Elasticfox to work with Amazon’s new US west coast location
6 Comments · Posted by Patrick Lightbody in Uncategorized
We’re excited about Amazon’s new AWS location. So much so we’ve already started development to bring its benefits to our customers by next week. As such, we had to quickly figure out how to adapt our tools to work with it.
In their announcement, Amazon stated that Elasticfox already worked with the new location. While that’s true, if you tried looking for a new Elasticfox release you’d be in for a surprise: there isn’t one. That’s because it doesn’t need an update to work.
Instead, just fire up your existing Elasticfox installation and click on the Regions button in the upper left corner:

Then add new region with the following endpoint details:
- Name = us-west-1
- URL = https://us-west-1.ec2.amazonaws.com

That’s all there is to it. You’re now ready to use the new location with Elasticfox!

there is a new version of elasticfox (1.7.112) that supports the us-west-1 region out of the box. run the extension update feature of firefox to get the update and let me know if your problems have been resolved.

I tried the latest version of Elasticfox (1.7.000112) and I am still unable to add any regions… Harrumph!

I have the exact same problem. Clicking “Add” does nothing. Using latest 1.7.113 on FF 3.6
