I have an express, node, mongo app running on elasticbeanstalk perfectly. the url value of this elasticbeanstalk is something like example.eu-west-1.elasticbeanstalk.com.
Now I also have customer domain, lets say example.com which is registered on aws route53 and in the hostedzone I have soa and ns record.
I wanted to load elasticbeanstalk when user visit my custom domain example.com. I have tried following aws docs
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/DeveloperGuide/routing-to-beanstalk-environment.html with no luck.
I have created A record with alias that targets elasticbeanstalk environment url value. I have tried creating cname record as well. Waited over 48 hours but still my example.com doesn't load any app.
I am not an expert on any of these issue. Please help me.
Please note, my example.com domain was pointing to a cloudfont and s3 bucket before.
Thanks you so much.
Make sure you've route53 NS entries in your domain provider console so example.com can resolve to your ElasticBeanstalk LoadBalancer address. After you have entered nameserver entries in domain provider console check if DNS servers are propagated successfully. MoreOver for domain entry select A record type with Alias to your ElasticBeanstalks's LocadBalancer address.

So I just bought a domain with godaddy www.abc.com (example)
I have then uploaded my flask back end and successfully deployed it to elastic beanstalk.
The elastic beanstalk has given a url as elastic-region.com.
However this url is HTTP, therefore
I have then created a certificate for www.abc.com
Now the problem is I cannot link my godaddy to my elastic bean server.
I have set up the CNAME where Name = www and Value = elastic-region.com.
As well as the certificate as name = xyz value = yzx
After all the configuration I still am not able to connect it to the elastic bean. When I enter the url www.abc.com it redirects be back to godaddy account page
I would suggest moving your DNS to route53 DNS service. You can do this by adding a hosted zone in route53 and changing your name servers in GoDaddy. In Route53 you can directly alias towards your elastic beanstalk environment on A / AAAA records.
If you want to continue hosting your DNS at GoDaddy; I would suggest using tools like https://mxtoolbox.com/ to verify if your DNS is set correctly. The method you described in your post would be sufficient to CNAME towards your EB environment.
AWS resource to create an alias towards Elastic beanstalk:

you can also move your whole domain to AWS;

I have running app in elastickbeanstalk on domain:
secret-development.eu-central-1.elasticbeanstalk.com
And I would like to route my domain into this app.
I created CNAME www to secret-development.eu-central-1.elasticbeanstalk.com
But it is not working.
What is wrong?
I created CNAME www to secret-development.eu-central-1.elasticbeanstalk.com
Unfortunately, you can't create working www CNAME record to the default EB domain. The reason is that this is AWS owned domain and you have no control over it.
If you don't want to use AWS provided domain for you EB environment, you have to create/buy your own domain, e.g. mydomain.com. This can be done in Route53, but can also use any other domain seller.
How to use Route53 to setup a custom domain for EB is explained in the following AWS documentation:
Creating an Amazon Route 53 record that routes traffic to your Elastic Beanstalk environment
If you have your own domain (e.g., mydomain.com), then you can also setup a subdomain (www.mydomain.com) for it and point it to EB environment.
Having your own domain will also enable you to setup https to your EB environment.
I registered an .link domain name with Route53 and experimented a little bit with it.
First I created an record to route traffic to my S3 static webpage. After that I deployed an Elastic Beanstalk app and tried to route the traffic to the Elastic IP of my EB instance.
I am getting the whole time "no response" messages. When I do a test on the record set, I am getting the right IP in the "Response returned by Route 53" field.
I even done an whois request on my domain name, and nowhere were mentioned the information I entered during the registration.
Did I forget something or do I have to pay attention on something?
I noticed that the Domain name status code is blank for this domain name.
Like you, I'm using Route53 to route traffic to an Elastic Beanstalk instance.
In EB, under "All Applications", I have a running application with a URL ending in ".elasticbeanstalk.com"
Then, in Route 53, I have a record which routes a particular subdomain to my EB URL:
The blank Domain name status has nothing to do with the problem. The domain name works now and the Domain name status is still blank.
The problem was that the nameservers for the registered domain not matched the nameservers of the hosted zone. The support provided me the correct namerservers, I replaced the nameservers of the registered domain and the hosted zone with the one the support provided me and everything works fine.
Kind regards
I have been trying to connect my domain with my elastic beanstalk instance.
My domain was purchased off GoDaddy and I have updated the nameservers to point to AWS and verified through dig. If dig comes up with the NS, it means GoDaddy is properly configured to point to the DNS right?
The Test Record Set function also does not show any error and has a proper response returned which has NOERROR
Problem is I still receive an ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED everytime I try to load the website on browsers even tried on different devices
I have also checked the alias used in my Hosted Zone and its up and running
What I have already done:
Initialized and created Beanstalk environment - Up and Running
Public Hosted Zone - Created A record for www.mysite.com
GoDaddy DNS NS - updated with AWS 4 nameservers
Checks I have done:
Internal Test Record for A www.mysite.com
Dig Command
What could I be missing?
UPDATE***
So I figured "www.mysite.com' was working but 'mysite.com' alone was not. I'm assuming route53 will automatically use the www A record? But seems like its not?
Hope ya'll could help
Thanks!
Got it to work.
Looks like besides creating a www A record, I had to create a record for the root domain i.e mysite.com in the Record Set of my Hosted Zone
Solved!
I am currently hosting my website on amazon elasticbeanstalk and I purchased a domain from namecheap.com then I followed the steps here. On AWS route 53 I created a hosted zone and an Alias record then on my namecheap account I selected custom DNS as my DNS servers and inputted the values I got from AWS route 53. Now after 24 hours I can access my website from www.domain.com but not from domain.com. I opened up a terminal and I pinged domain.com it says "unknown host domain.com" but pinging www.domain.com works. I don't know why.
For this you need to create an another Record Set with empty name i.e. leave the name field blank and provide the value same as www.yourdomain.com (your IP address).
Please do note that both the values on WWW and non-www should be the same.
Hope this would solve your problem!
