don't save cloud preferences

[TopNub]

hi

I try to run my first cloud rendering

After filling in all the settings I get the error:

An error occurred running a Python dialog callback

If I understand correctly I am missing some Pythonic libraries for the cloud. Right? Where to find them? Please help.

P.S. I use Mac OS Lion

Ok. I get it. The problem was the antivirus.

But now I get this error:

OptinRequired: You are not subscribed to this service. Please go to http://aws.amazon.com to subscribe.

However, I went through all the steps in this guide http://www.sidefx.com/images/stories/news/HQueue_Cloud/hqueue_cloud_guide_09nov12.pdf , and Amazon has received $2 from my credit card.

What is the problem?

upd

so..., well, another dollar because the session has ended. OK, understood, understood.

I think it works, but my browser does not show me this, I do not see Process

Maybe I'm not exactly put it.

After starting the renderer, the browser does not appear and does not show task manager.

Can you help with anything?

And how to read log file?
