I didn't find such guide or articles how to do it for ElasticSearch hosted on Windows server.
I have the EC2 amazon windows instance which running ElasticSearch server on port 9200, but I can't achieve it by _ec2_ip_adress:9200 outside the server.
I completely sure that all TCP ports are opened in amazon security group rules, I've turned off the firewall on the server as well.
So that is the problem in ElasticSearch configs.
Can someone help me with that?
Well but you know that then any body would be able to delete/create stuff in your index until you have shield.
If you really want to open it, also make sure that in windows firewall you opened port 9200.
So what i would do i would probably restrict in firewall on in Amazon access to this port for specific IPs (Actually in my project i am doing that :) )
There is one more thing to check on which IP is runned as soon as i remember ES will run on private IP. Look to network.host default is __local__. Try network.host: 0.0.0.0

I just launched a instance on AWS and I'm trying to open the website. So I copy the Public IPv4 address and paste it on my page. But it always returns This site can’t be reached 35.78.183.239 took too long to respond.
I've changed my firewall setting to access google chrome and set security groups HTTP, HTTPS. I can't figure out where the problem is. Any suggestions?
You didn't specify what webserver or AMI is on your EC2 instance.
You need to setup an AMI or manually install and setup a webserver for anything to show, otherwise the EC2 instance, while reachable, will not respond.
Make sure that ssh access is enabled and try ssh into the machine. If you can successfully login, then you know the instance is reachable and the problem is with your webserver software. This will help you debug.
What port is your application running on? When you enable HTTP and HTTPS it only allows ports 80 and 443 on the security group. This won't help if your application runs on a different port, so you'll need to add that to your security group to allow inbound traffic.
I'm not a hardware guys, so I'm probably missing something simple, but I did the following:
Created a Windows VM.
Activated the web server role/IIS features (I can successfully serve a page via localhost when remote desktopped in).
Made sure outgoing port 80 wasn't blocked in Windows firewall.
Created a load balancer that pointed to the instance (to make enablement of SSL easier).
I then tried pulling up both the load balancer public DNS and the VM'w and neither of them pull up any web page. The Windows VM instance reports that it's running, but the load balancer reports that the VM is OutOfService trying to forward port 80.
What do I need to do to be able to serve my web site?
Open port 80 on the AWS security group assigned to your EC2 instance.
Open inbound access to port RDP in your security group.
This will make you to access the Windows server of your ec2-instance.
Edit the Security Group assigned to your EC2 instance and add a rule to allow port 80 in Inbound and outbount rules.
I have installed IntelliJ YouTrack running on port 80 on a Windows Server 2012 t2.micro EC2 instance on AWS.
I am able to access YouTrack when I remote desktop into the machine and enter http://localhost or http:// or http://. Therefore I know the application is up and running on the expected port.
I have whitelisted my ip by adding the relevant inbound rule under the security group settings for the instance.
I was assuming that was the only necessary step to allow inbound connections to that specific port. However I cannot access YouTrack when I enter the public IP of the instance on my web-browser from the whitelisted IP. Also what I find more confusing is when I try to enter http:// within the remote desktop of the instance, I am still unable to connect.
What am I missing for enabling incoming connections to a port on my EC2 t2.micro instance?
I appreciate all the advice.
It seems that Windows firewall was running and blocking the connections beyond the security group settings. Opening port 80 within Windows firewall fixed the issue.
When I first ran into the issue I typed "Firewall" into the start search. First result was "Windows Firewall with Advanced Security". When I opened that I got the error "There was an error opening Windows Firewall with Advanced Security snap-in". I immediately assumed AWS eliminated the firewall service from the windows builds to force customers to prefer the security group controls of the AWS console.
Embarassingly I have just now tried the second option in the list "Windows Firewall" which showed the normal windows firewall being active and of course blocking incoming connections to port 80. I have added the exceptions to the required ports and the issue was immediately resolved.
I hope this helps someone else out there.
I have set up a a micro EC2 instance on AWS. Currently, I am using the free tier in Oregon. There are two problems which I am facing.
When I try to SSH the instance using the public DNS, it says host does not exist but when I try conencting it using the public IP, it connects to it. What setting is needed to use the public DNS ?
I have opened the SSH client using the IP address. I want to set up my application which needs Node.js and MongoDB. I installed Node.js using this
Next I installed MongoDB using this
Then I connected to my instance using Filezilla and uploaded my code to it. I then start my node application which uses socket.io.
When I try to connect to socket.io server using web browser, I get a message which says connection refused "error 111". I have opened TCP port 80 in instance's security groups. In iptables, I have forwarded port 80 to 8080, but still it does not work. I have also checked that the firewall is disabled in ec2. Kindly help me to resolve this issue.
Did you check if all of the necessary ports are open on Amazon Security Policy?
What you can do is to allow all traffic on Amazon Security Policy for test and see if the connection goes well or not.
You might also check if you need access DB from outside. In that case, you also have to open the mongodb port and setup mongodb correctly as well.
Other tools that might useful to test firewall and connection issue will be tcpdump and syslog file
For the dns issue, did you try to nslookup on that name and see if the IP shown matches your server IP?
As Amazon gives a long DNS hostname for the server, I always use my own domain name. It's much easier.
example : ec2.domainname.com, which points to the Amazon IP address
Hope that help.
My problem is resolved now..
For the DNS issue, earlier I needed proxy to access internet, so I guess the DNS name was not getting resolved. When I tried using proxy free internet, I was able to ssh using public DNS.
And regarding connection to socket.io, I used port 8080 instead of 80 and used "sudo node main.js" to run my node file. Now I am able to connect to the socket.io server and MongoDB.
Another thing which I want to ask is that would running the node file with sudo rights create some security issue ?
Thanks for the answer! That also worked for me. I had the same problem trying to connect through sockets (http://myipaddress:3000) to a node.js server, i tried opening ports on the actual ec2 instance and disabling the firewall through SSH but nothing worked. Had to go to Security Groups on the ec2 console and open a new inbound tcp rule enabling that port
I'm fairly new to EC2, hopefully someone can point me into the correct direction. I have a WCF Service hosted in Windows Service and would like to run this on EC2. I set up an EC2 account with Windows Server 2008 with SQL Server Express. I put my service out there and ran it, I'm able to test and connect to it from the browser with the private IP on the VM, but when I try to connect to the service from my computer with the Public IP, I'm not able to do so.
Am I missing some important configuration or am I totally off? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm testing this with port 8080 and added that to the Permission Groups. I also tried to assigned an elastic IP to the instance. Thanks in advance.
EC2 provides security groups, which are essentially a firewall external to the machine. The default security group will allow SSH and RDP connections. If you want requests for port 8080 to be received by the VM, update the security group settings for the VM. You can do this interactively from the Amazon Management Console.
You also need to configure the firewall running in the windows VM, but it appears you did this when you added the service to the 'Permission Groups'.
