I just launched a Windows-Apache-Postgres-Python/Django stack on EC2 using Elastic block for the postgres database storage. That install worked like a charm, and I'm running www.cuuute.com on it right now.
I had an urge to try MySQL as a database, and I found an installer bug that broke the installation and messed up my server. The installer died giving me a "MySQL can't install as a service" error, and then not allowing me to go forward. So, I did that a couple of times. I then realized that the installer had installed MySQL each time I ran the installer, but didn't complete it.
I Googled for an hour and couldn't find a resolution to the issue, just a bunch of forums= threads asking for help on the same problem for the past 9 months.
Postgres for the win. BTW EC2 + Elastic block rocks like Dokken for a WAPP setup.
