problems with Web sub stack

[mteichtahl]

I have tried to kick off the stac creation. Everything looks fine until the stack rolls back with the following error.

It feels like the instances aren't given enough time to start up.

Any guidance appreciated.

@mteichtahl we're you able to resolve this issue?

Thanks!

[ion-girloanta]

Got the error only for the first run on "wp plugin install w3-total-cache \n".
Still didn't find the reason.

[dave-gil]

w3 Total Cache fails to install on stack creation for me too... The installation itself doesn't fail but the install of the plugin does. When I attempt to do it manually I get consistent 504 timeouts, even bypassing cloudfront and going directly to load balancer.

[mandersondesign]

Looks like this is resolved in a pull request, where you have to update that command to have allow-root:

wp plugin install w3-total-cache --allow-root
