CodeDeploy: Script at specified location: scripts/stop_server run as user root failed with exit code 1

Question

No matter what I put inside the stop_server file the CodeDeploy ends up with the error as above. I even commented out all the lines to simplify debugging, so now it looks inside like this

#!/bin/bash
# pkill -f node

My appspec.yml:

version: 0.0
os: linux
files:
  - source: /app.js
    destination: /home/ec2-user/node-website
  - source: /package.json
    destination: /home/ec2-user/node-website
  - source: /public/
    destination: /home/ec2-user/node-website/public
  - source: /node_modules
    destination: /home/ec2-user/node-website/node_modules

permissions:
  - object: /
      pattern: "**"
      owner: ec2-user
      group: ec2-user

hooks:
  AfterInstall:
    - location: scripts/install_dependencies
      timeout: 300
      runas: ec2-user
    #- location: scripts/codestar_remote_access
    #  timeout: 300
    #  runas: ec2-user
    - location: scripts/start_server
      timeout: 300
      runas: ec2-user

  ApplicationStop:
    - location: scripts/stop_server
      timeout: 300
      runas: ec2-user

Any sugestions highly appreciated!

When you do a deployment, it will actually use the ApplicationStop from your last successful deployment, not your current deployment. I resolved the problem by deleting the application that I have problem with and creating a new one.

Thanks for sharing this. It took me a while to figure that out. It's possible to redeploy ignoring errors from stop script. With AWS cli: aws deploy create-deployment --ignore-application-stop-failures, AWS web console offers a toggle too. So no need to delete the app per se.

You can check the code-deploy logs to find more details, the logs is normally located in:

/opt/codedeploy-agent/deployment-root/deployment-logs/codedeploy-agent-deployments.log

Find more detailed error logs and let me know if you still cannot figure it out

@shareef you need to clean up everything inside that folder. use sudo rm -r -f * and restart the codedeploy-agent again.
