Saw: 400: The requested distribution is not supported by this stackscript.; " + +StackScript is a custom deployment script that defines a set of configurations for a Linode instance (e.g. which distribution, specs, etc.). if you used algo with default values in the past deployments, a stackscript that would've been created is 're-used' in the deployment process (in fact, go see 'create Linodes' and under 'StackScripts' tab). Thus, there's a little chance that your deployment process will generate this 'unsupported stackscript' error due to a pre-existing StackScript that doesn't support a particular configuration setting or value due to an 'old' stackscript. The quickest solution is just to change the name of your deployment from the default value of 'algo' (or any other name that you've used before, again see the dashboard) and re-run the deployment. + + ## Connection Problems Look here if you deployed an Algo server but now have a problem connecting to it with a client.
