I deployed my application in AWS ec2 instance and it is working well with instances's IP address. Instead of using IP address I bought a domain from godaddy and connected to my ec2 instance with load balancer and target group. And also generated a SSL certificate for https. Now my domain http://example.com is working fine but while I changed http to https it is working with port number like https://example.com:5005
How can I remove that port number in url? Do I need to add anything in target group or load balancer?? Can someone help me to resolve this.
thanks in advance!
If you don't provide the port number in the URL , the standard port for the protocol is used, which in your case will be 443 for https.
You need to create a standard HTTPS listener on your load balancer, which can forward the traffic recevied on 443 to your instance(s) port 5005 as part of the target group.

Recently, I purchases a domain from google domains namely, neurocognition.app. I initialized an EC2 instance from AWS (Free tier), got an elastic IP. added the A record, with the same elastic IP at the google website. Its been over 2 weeks but the site still won't work
What could be the possible reason? Do I have to setup my instance in a separate manner for HSTS domains. ???
So, looking at the dns: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#A/neurocognition.app your domain points to 65.0.156.79 which responds on http, but not https.
http://neurocognition.app redirects to https://neurocognition.app
this could mean one of the following:
your security group does not have port 443 open
your web server does not accept connections on port 443
Network Access Control Layer have been modified to block port 443
I would focus on the first two, which are most likely the issue here.
Check your security group, whether it has https port added in route.
I have set up a load Balancer to my elastic beanstalk app. It has provided a DNS / URL which works on http.
I have set up my domain on Route 53. I'm trying to make it work with HTTPS for a subdomain app.example.com
I have set up a wildcard certificate using ACM *.example.com.
I have enable HTTPS and port 443 on the loadBalancer. But I can't access it using the domain name https://app.example.com but works with http://app.example.com
In Route 53, I have created an A record with Alias set to the load Balancer DNS Name.
I have gone through tonnes of answers on stackoverflow but nothing worked for me. No idea what I'm missing.
You do not need to map 443 of the target as the TLS will terminate before sending the request to target.
Map 8080 port of the target to 443 of the load balancer.
Below diagram show SSL/TLS termination work with ALB.
SSL Certificates
To use an HTTPS listener, you must deploy at least one SSL/TLS server
certificate on your load balancer. The load balancer uses a server
certificate to terminate the front-end connection and then decrypt
requests from clients before sending them to the targets.

This is what worked for me. Changing Instance Protocol to HTTP in first row and changing Instance Port to 80.
I have a EC2 instance running a Node.Js server on Ubuntu.
My goals are:
Connect my hosted zone to the EC2 instance
Route all incoming traffic from port 80 to port 3000 (because my server runs on port 3000)
and most importantly Use an Application Load Balancer to forward all requests to HTTPS (I already created a SSL Certificate in the Certificate Manager).
Currently, I am only able to open the website with the EC2 intances' Public Ip on port 3000 (http://prntscr.com/livali). Https requests or Http to port 80 don't work (http://prntscr.com/livau2). Altought a made an A record on my hosted zone with the instances' Public Ip, it's not possible to open the instance via the hosted zone (http://prntscr.com/liv9no).
I am really confused, as I am somehow not able to get this up and running. I would really appreciate a step by step guide on how to set this whole thing up.
If you already have a SSL certificate it is secure to use only port 443 instead of port 80.
Create an internet facing Application Load Balancer that listens on port 443 and routes traffic to your EC2 instance on port 3000.
Redirect users to HTTPS when accessing your domain on HTTP
See Docs > Load Balancer Listeners > Redirect Actions
Add an A record to point your domain name to the Load Balancer's public DNS.
These are web server concerns rather than DNS concerns. You'll need to set up something like NGINX or Apache to proxy port 80 to port 3000. See Apache redirect to another port for information.
You can also force HTTPS with a rewrite rule in Apache: https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/RewriteHTTPToHTTPS
Another option for forcing HTTPS is to create a CloudFront distribution and use that. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonCloudFront/latest/DeveloperGuide/using-https.html
I am working with an AWS EC2 instance (amazon Linux, elastic IP) trying to set up SSL through ACM. The certificate is verified and the load balancer is passing the health checks listening on prot 443, forwarding to port 80. Initially, when testing https I received a connection refused. This confused me because I thought the load balancer would catch and forward this to port 80. I enabled port 443 via nginx on the EC2 instance, so now it is listening on 443 (tested via telnet), which got rid of the connection refused error, but now I get a ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR. This makes sense if it is missing the load-balancer and hitting the EC2 instance directly.
Is this the problem (missing the load-balancer)? If so, how do I fix this. I don't see a way to assign an an IP address to a load-balancer. Is a CNAME record required for this kind of setup? If so, how do I configure this?
Thanks.
Your load balancer will be the spot where SSL terminates, and then carries on to your insecure servers running on port 80. You should change your EC2 instance back to port 80.
Yes, you should point a CNAME at your load balancer from the domain the certificate was created for. You do not get an IP for ELB's, as there may actually be many load balancers behind the scenes, which you don't see, all hiding behind the AWS CNAME.
Summary:
Change your EC2 to serve traffic on port 80 again
Make ELB accept connections on port 443, and send to 80 on the instance
Assign a valid domain to your ELB that the certificate is valid for
Profit.

I'm new to aws. I'm trying to implement https with help of elb. I have configured ssl certificate on elb along with HTTPS(Secure HTTP) on port 443. I have also configured route 53 as shown in the snap shot. I have assigned elb to A-IPv4 Address. But still its not working for https, whenever I'm trying to hit https://www.mypleaks.com its not working but its its working for http://www.mypleaks.com, www.mypleaks.com, mypleaks.com.
Please find elb screen shots below:-
its showing:-
Check the Security Group assigned to your Elastic Load Balancer. I think you need to open port 443 in the Security Group.
