Host in AWS keeps hanging at the "Installing Rancher agent" stage

Help! Total newbie here, trying to set up a proof of concept with Rancher and AWS. Launching a host in AWS keeps hanging at the “host.provision” stage. I can see the EC2 at AWS, I can see the security group and it seems to have the correct ports exposed. Any help??

AMI ID
rancheros-v0.7.1-hvm-1 (ami-dfdff3c8)

I’m in the same AZ as the rancher-server.

process showing a lot of:

ID Name Resource Exit Reason Start Time End Time Run Time
1pi264 agent.disconnect agent:1a2 DONE 2:18 PM 2:18 PM -
1pi263 agent.reconnect agent:1a2 CHAIN 2:14 PM 2:18 PM 230 sec
1pi262 agent.disconnect agent:1a2 DONE 2:14 PM 2:14 PM -
1pi261 agent.reconnect agent:1a2 CHAIN 2:10 PM 2:14 PM 232 sec


*** UPDATE:

I deactivated and deleted the rancherOs EC2 I was attempting to launch above.
Started again with the default Ubuntu image (the default provided in the rancher UI)

This host is also hanging at the same stage “Installing Rancher agent”

I ssh’d onto the ubuntu EC2 and I see the following:

ubuntu@r-host1:~$ sudo docker ps -a
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE                  COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS                         PORTS               NAMES

When rancher creates the host, docker-machine should install docker and then run the rancher-agent container?

From the rancher/server container logs:

I’m unsure what else to look at, to find the error. Could it be an error in my config of either rancher server or the host? Newbie, I have no idea ! If anyone could point me in any direction it would be greatly appreciated.


**** UPDATE 2

ok thx to a reply on a different post I realized I had to sudo my docker command on the newly created ubuntu host.
Now I do see the rancher-agent container running there.
And an error in the docker logs for that rancher-agent container.

ok getting there. Any input on what this error might indicate? We are running rancher server behind an ELB (as per the rec) and that ELB is not in the rancher-machine security group, maybe it needs to be?

thanks, Tommy
