I have an application in Openshift free plan with only one gear. I want to change it to scalabe and take usage of all of 3 free gears.
I read this blog post from openshift and I found that there is a way to do it. I should clone my current application to a new one as a scalable which will use the 2 remaining gears and then I will delete the original application. Thus, the new one will have 3 free gears.
The way that blog suggest is: rhc create-app <clone> --from-app <existing> --scaling
I have the following error: invalid option --from-app
Update
After running the command gem update rhc, I don't have the error above but...A new application with the given name has created with the same starting package (Python 2.7) just like the existing one, but all the files are missing. It actually create a blank application and not a clone of the existing.
Update 2
Here is the structure of the folder:
-.git
-.openshift
-wsgi
---static
---views
---application
---main.py
-requirements.txt
-setup.py
From what we've talked on IRC, your problem was around missing SSH configuration on Windows machine:
Creating application xxx ... done
Waiting for your DNS name to be available ...done
Setting deployment configuration ... done
No system SSH available. Please use the --ssh option to specify the path to your SSH executable, or install SSH.
I've double checked it, and it appears to be working without any problem. The only requirement is to have the latest rhc client and putty or any other SSH client. I'd recommend going through this tutorial once again and double-check everything to make sure everything is working properly.
