problem running a startup zip

[marstonstudio]

Hello,

I'm trying to launch wowza with a User Data zip file, but I keep getting this error message and have no luck with my script:

ec2: -----FETCHING USER-DATA SCRIPT-----

I've got a pretty basic startup zip file for testing which I can send/attach. I created it on a mac, but didn't have any better luck doing in with a file created on a windows machine

Here's the command i'm using to launch

ec2-run-instances ami-XXXXXXX --region us-east-1 --instance-type m1.small --user-data-file startup.zip --key gsg-keypair --group default --group devrecognizer

any advice?

Are you using one of the AMIs on the Wowza EC2 Support page?

Also see this post regarding startup package zipped on a mac, that might be the problem.
