I am trying to use a custom AMI in AWS Beanstalk. I manually launched a default Amazon ElasticBeanstalk image in EC2 (ElasticBeanstalk-Tomcat7-32bit-20110913-1132 (ami-278e4c4e)) and created my custom AMI from that. I then go to ElasticBeanstalk, launch an Environment and once it's up and running, I switch to this custom AMI in the Environment's configuration.
The health status is green. But my webapp does not get deployed on the instance:
[root@ip-***-***-***-*** ~]# ls -l /opt/tomcat7/webapps
total 0
Tomcat is running:
[root@ip-***-***-***-*** ~]# /etc/init.d/tomcat7 status
Tomcat 7 is running.
I am puzzled about why my app does not get deployed. Does anyone know what's going wrong?
