[Paraview] ParaviewWeb on EC2

[Evans, Llion]

Ok, thanks. I guess to get it to work on the free tier I’d need to rebuild with mesa. I’d rather not go down that path as I’m not knowledgeable enough.

That means I need to go back to trying to install on my local machine, but I was having difficulty getting Visualizer to start properly on Ubuntu 16.

I notice you mentioned a compatibility issue with 16. Will this work on a VM? If so, I could try copying some of the file structure from the AMI to a fresh Ubuntu 14 VM install?

Yes, you need a g2

I found the error below (there was a new entry for each time I refreshed the page on the browser).

I assume that this is due to my choice of machine (i.e. using the aws free tier which doesn’t have a gpu).

Did you look at the logs on the server to see if you could have some hints on what could be the issue?

Hi Seb/Claude,

Hopefully this should be an easy answer.

I’ve been trying to get Visualizer up and running on aws. I used the ami mentioned below (ami-34f3f65e) and can load the page in a browser which brings up the 'ParaViewWeb' logo and a spinning cog. After a short while I get an error message 'Session did not start before timeout expired. Check session logs.'

Other than installing a local browser I've not changed much of anything on the AMI. What am I doing wrong? I assume it's something simple that I'm missing, like do I need to drop in a dataset somewhere before it'll even load the page?

Kind regards,
Llion
