Here are the instructions on how to get MySQL Workbench up and running on Amazon EC2 after creating a "Getting Started on Fedora Core 8" AMI instance.

1. ssh into your instance forwarding port 3306
ssh -i ~/ec2key.pem root@your-ec2-ip-or-hostname
I normally put localhost instead of 127.0.0.1, but OSX gives me grief by
2. Install MySQL
yum install mysql-server
3. Configure MySQL to start on startup
ntsysv
check "mysqld"
4. Start up MySQL
/etc/init.d/mysqld start
5. Set root password
mysqladmin -u root password new-password-here

Now, Launch MySQL Workbench

So I just went through a few hours of pain moving Trac from my old faithful FC 6 (3 years uptime!!!) to Centos 5.4. I tried to battle SELinux for a while, but finally surrendered to it as I will discuss later.

Problem 1: ImportError: No module named genshi
Problem 2: Permission denied: 'path-to-trac-projects/projectname/VERSION'

Problem 1 occurred because I installed Genshi before installing python-devel.
The installation will go fine if you don't, but
YOU HAVE TO INSTALL PYTHON-DEVEL FIRST OR YOU WILL FACE THE SAME PAIN.
