Sorry, I misread your first comment on OpenSRF.

My initial problem was that following the installation instructions I have
come to point "11. Testing connections to Evergreen" where it says to login
as egadmin using srsfh and this failed with "Received no data from server".

I the hindsight is seems that OpenSRF was not running at that moment. I
have noticed that OpenSRF does not start automatically when I restart the
server and It is possible that I have restarted the server during the
installation procedure.

What is the proper way to make OpenSRF start automatically after server
restart?

I have then proceeded with the troubleshooting instructions (
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=troubleshooting:checking_for_errors)
and finished in "Step 7 Start OpenSRF C services and check for errors"
where it says "If the C services do appear to have started, then let's
double check by grepping the log files for errors like so: grep ERR
/openils/var/log/*.log. If you encounter any output from that command,
please stop here and contact the development community as stated above." I
encountered some errors so I have stopped and contacted the development
community. I get errors like these:

/openils/var/log/osrfsys.log:open-ils.pcrud 2013-03-29 08:58:27

Anyway, I have now tried to ignore these errors and was able to
successfully login as egadmin using srsfh.

Yes, the hostname matched at the script creation time.

I don't think that AWS has anything to do with the problems. It's most
likely my lack of experience and probably some holes in the documentation.

 I have now been able to successfully run "/openils/bin/autogen.sh -c
/openils/conf/opensrf_core.xml -u" and it has only complained that "illegal
option -- c" but otherwise ran ok.

I do not know how to check that the database has data in it but opac access
through web browser is working.

I will now go on to install the staff client.

Thank you for your help.

Petr

P.S. Do you think that I should worry about the errors in osrfsys.log?
