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!
Hi guys.. am getting a problem with elasticfox. when am attempting to add a region to set of regions which is currently empty, its not able to add any region .. even if i click add button no event is taking place.. can you please help me
I have same problem. Cant add new regions!
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
Same issue for months.. can’t add region
The same problem! Button “Add” do nothing…
same problem…sigh
Suffering from the same problem myself since reinstalling everything on a new machine – I discovered a fix after some googling – http://code.google.com/p/hybridfox/issues/detail?id=6#c7
1) Type “about:config” in the uri bar (no quotation marks).
2) Find “ec2ui.endpoints” (no quotation marks). If it isn’t there, right-click and
create new String type variable with that name.
3) Set that variable’s value to:
({‘us-east-1′:({‘name’:'us-east-1′,’url’:’https://us-east-1.ec2.amazonaws.com'}),’eu-west-1′:({‘name’:'eu-west-1′,’url’:’https://eu-west-1.ec2.amazonaws.com'})})
Restart ElasticFox and in my case all the current regions appeared in the dropdown – not just the two I’d entered.
I hope this helps someone.
Thanks Jim, that worked.
The Browser only converted a lot of the single quotes to back ticks, so anyone trying this trick should look out for that
