I've got some large problems with my ruby on rails deployment on EY. Support has said I need to SSH in to clear the errors... but I get the following:
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
@ WARNING: REMOTE HOST IDENTIFICATION HAS CHANGED! @
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
IT IS POSSIBLE THAT SOMEONE IS DOING SOMETHING NASTY!
Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.
The fingerprint for the RSA key sent by the remote host is
80:4c:5f:dd:98:bb:cb:01:6c:a9:11:41:29:56:66:86.
Please contact your system administrator.
Add correct host key in /Users/jameshughes/.ssh/known_hosts to get rid of this message.
Offending key in /Users/jameshughes/.ssh/known_hosts:1
RSA host key for ec2-184-73-167-153.compute-1.amazonaws.com has changed and you have requested strict checking.
Host key verification failed.
[Process completed]
How do I add the correct key to the Known_hosts file?
Please see @womble's comment below and my reply. As @womble notes, if you use StrictHostKeyChecking no
you will be open to man in the middle attacks. I've talked with EngineYard about this (last time I checked, StrictHostKeyChecking no
was what they were recommending in their help documentation). I believe using StrictHostKeyChecking=ask
is a better alternative. Does anyone else know if there is a better solution than using StrictHostKeyChecking=ask
?
I ran into the same issue and this seemed to work for me. You just need to add "StrictHostKeyChecking no" to after "'~/.ssh/config'':"
Engine yard has a pretty good article on it. The Man in the middle issue is near the bottom. http://docs.engineyard.com/ssh-keys-and-configuration.html
Now when I SSH I still get the warning, but am able to access the server. I started getting the warning after I stopped and restarted my instance.
