LAMP server installation stops at 79% configuring MySQL (EC2 BitNami AMI)

I have created an ubuntu 10.04 cloud server on the Amazon cloud (EC2) I am encountering a stalled LAMP install each time I try it. I've created about 5 fresh instances. Each time The installation gets stuck at 79% on the "configuring mysql-server-5.1" portion of the install.

First I do an update (sudo apt-get update) then an upgrade (sudo apt-get upgrade) then try to install the lamp using tasksel.

I've done this before on a rackspace cloud server and it works fine. Every single attempt fails on EC2 instances. I will contact Amazon but I am also asking here in case it is an ubuntu specific issue and possibly a known issue that someone can guide me towards solving.

The region is EU West (Ireland). The AMI Id is ami-00e9d874. The instance type is m1.large.

I've tried several different AMIs though (all ubuntu x64 10.04)

If you start with a standard Ubuntu 10.04 AMI published by Canonical, then installing LAMP with tasksel works just fine. For us-west-1, the latest 64-bit 10.04 AMI is ami-81dde2f5.

The AMI you specified (ami-00e9d874) is a BitNami AMI. It looks like BitNami already has MySQL installed on that AMI using a non-standard location (/opt/bitnami/mysql). When you try to install MySQL with the standard Ubuntu tools, it does not detect the BitNami MySQL and then fails trying to run a second MySQL server:

120116  0:09:09 [Note] Plugin 'FEDERATED' is disabled.

120116  0:09:09  InnoDB: Started; log sequence number 0 44233

120116  0:09:09 [ERROR] Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use

120116  0:09:09 [ERROR] Do you already have another mysqld server running on port: 3306 ?

120116  0:09:09 [ERROR] Aborting



120116  0:09:09  InnoDB: Starting shutdown...

120116  0:09:10  InnoDB: Shutdown completed; log sequence number 0 44233

120116  0:09:10 [Note] /usr/sbin/mysqld: Shutdown complete

If you need to use a BitNami AMI, you'll need to follow their directions for installing LAMP.
