Question

With the help of open stack commands I have made instance in HP cloud. After creating instance and associating with floating IP when I try to run lamp commands on instance means try to install mysql, apache etc on instance then I am getting error

unable to resolve host "instance_name"

I have implemented commands from following link.

and Link of HP account https://horizon.hpcloud.com/
