trying to deploy to amazon ec2 following railscast tutorial

Question

I have been following this railscast tutorial and I am pretty sure I followed all the steps correctly but when I go to run cap rubber:create_staging I get the following error.

Not sure where to even start to debug this.

 The key pair 'gsg-keypair' does not exist (Fog::Compute::AWS::NotFound)

Are you able to ssh into your instance by doing `ssh -i path/to/privatekey root@ec2-xx...com`? — Leo Correa, Mar 21 '13 at 01:13
hmm not sure where would I look for the address that is replaced by the xx.com — Cool Guy Yo, Mar 21 '13 at 01:25
that might be my problem I dont think I have created a ec2 instance — Cool Guy Yo, Mar 21 '13 at 01:33
If you are following this tutorial http://railscasts.com/episodes/347-rubber-and-amazon-ec2?view=asciicast the asciicast goes over how get the gsg keys and place them in the right directory — Leo Correa, Mar 21 '13 at 01:39
I followed the ascii tutorial but I am still getting the same error, also I cant ssh in, I get a operation timed out. — Cool Guy Yo, Mar 21 '13 at 02:14

its saying that it can't find your 'gsg-keypair', go back to the part of the video where it teaches you how to save the gsg-keypair from amazon and where to save by mkdir in your root directory.

You need to create your virtual instance. Then Download key-pair (eg xyz.pem) file and follow these commands.

$ mkdir ~/.ec2
$ mv ~/Downloads/xyz.pem ~/.ec2/xyz
$ chmod 600 ~/.ec2/xyz

To make public key version --

$ ssh-keygen -y -f ~/.ec2/xyz > ~/.ec2/xyz.pub

Then go to config/rubber/rubber.yml and change your key_name to this

key_name: xyz
key_file: "#{Dir[(File.expand_path('~') rescue '/root') + '/.ec2/*' + cloud_providers.aws.key_name].first}"

Hope this may solve your problem.
