ApplicationStop or BeforeInstall

[fabioce]

Hello,
I tryed to use the state ApplicationStop to deregister the insance from the ELB,
but it don't works.
Whilst if I use the state BeforeInstall all works fine.
Do you are agree with me?

Hi,

Is this the first time you are deploying to the host?

ApplicationStop runs the version of the script currently installed on the box, so during the first deployment no scripts will run since nothing is installed from CodeDeploy. After the initial deployment, future CodeDeploy deployments to the host should deregister it from the ELB before proceeding.

For me also the second deployments don't worked.
Whilst in the BeforeInstall it's ok

Hi,

The second deployment will try to use the scripts in ApplicaitonStop lifecycle event from the first deployment. Do you know did the deregister script get executed during the second deployment at all?

The script stop_server for ApplicationStop lifecycle hook fails for Amazon Linux.

It should be changed as below

======
#!/bin/bash -e
isExistApp=$(pgrep httpd)
if [[ -n $isExistApp ]]; then
service httpd stop
