Data Science Workbench installation instructions - clarification neded

[#1]

I'm reading through the installation instructions for CDSW at https://www.cloudera.com/documentation/data-science-workbench/latest/topics/cdsw_install.html and found the section to set up a Wildcard DNS domain.

In this section, it references a master IP address.  I need to understand if this master IP address is the IP of the Cloudera Manager master node, or if it is the IP of the CDSW master.  I'm assuming it's the CDSW master, but I don't want to set up a Wildcard DNS domain incorrectly.

Thanks,

David Webb

Hi David,

This should be the IP address of the master CDSW node.  We will work to clarify this in the documentation.

Thanks,

It is for the CDSW master IP.

Hi 

My installation worked fine but I am not able to open the workbench using the URL. I am sure i have not done the wild carding correctly. 

I simply added the following in hosts file. 

Did i do this right? Or is there some other step? I am using a RHEL EC2 instance on AWS

cdsw.thedatafactory.com   IN A 172.31.37.124

*.cdsw.thedatafactory.com   IN A 172.31.37.124

hi 

do you have a step by step detail for the Wildcarding of DNS? I am stuck at that point. I have an AWS EC2 instance on which I have installed the workbench. However i am unable to open the URL.
