'Appscale up' stuck at 'Waiting for head node to initialize'

I was trying to start appscale on ec2 instance for deploying my python app. First of all I installed appscale-tools and initiated cluster which made AppScaleFile. Then I used appscale up command which is stuck at this point Waiting for head node to initialize.... Here is the screenshot: Screenshot

It is some sort of an infinite loop. Any help?

If using Ubuntu you may be running into an issue with the version of monit that they distribute, as described here:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/monit/+bug/1786910

If so, then this AppScale blog has more information on workarounds:

https://blog.appscale.com/monit-bug-impacting-appscale-deployments

To check if you are using the broken monit (version 1:5.16-2ubuntu0.1):

# dpkg -l monit

To downgrade (on all hosts running AppScale):

# sudo apt-get install monit=1:5.16-2
# sudo apt-mark hold monit

Keep in mind that this is reverting a security fix, so may not always be an acceptable solution.
