I have created a aws elastic load balancer and associated my existing instance with it. The instance is passing the health test. I accessed my instance directly using the ip:port and I am able to view the content. I have linked the same port in the aws configurations. When I try the DNS name in my browser, I do not get any response. What do you think is the issue?
Is your ELB publicly accessible? (You can see this on the ELB settings page.)
Does your ELB has the right security group?
Can you telnet into the ELB on the given port (80?)
Are you using HTTP or HTTPS?
Are you using HTTP health check?
update:
I assume your health check is on port 80, so do you have a listener for that ELB on port 80 to port 80?
Are you doing HTTP port forwarding ( not TCP)?

I face an issue in AWS Elastic BeanStalk health checking. I deployed to my NodeJS application to AWS via elastic beanstalk. Then I give permission my elastic load balancer TCP 443 port accessible for only my domain that is routed by Cloudflare. Basically, My elastic load balancer is only accessible by Cloudflare,
Due to the fact that I use Cloudflare, AWS health checks can not be able to access to the endpoint of the load balancer. How can fix this issue? I don't want to open my load balancer TCP 443 port to all world people. I want to open TCP 443 port for the only Cloudflare and, at the same time, I want to use health check of AWS :)
If somebody reads this question in the future, I thought that the health-check is being executed, externally - accessing publicly. But I have just learned that it was not :)). It is being executed directly internally. There is no problem related to Cloudflare or the security group or any other thing!
If there is an error in your ELB regarding this, the problem is probably related to your codebase, not the security group or other configurations.
We are trying to configure ALB for the AWS EC2 docker containerized Rasa Server with Port 5005.
We have attached the Rasa Server to the ALB but we are receiving unhealthy checks with 504 timeout gateway although we are getting the response from the Rasa server Ip address.
We are not able to get the health checks from the ALB after configuring the '/' path. But in the browser, we are getting the healthy response if we use the Rasa Server IP address instead of the ALB DNS name.
Private subnets, security groups and the VPC are configured as same in the ALB and the Rasa Server.
Can you help us here
The 504 timeout indicates that the Load Balancer is unable to speak to the target group.
As you're able to speak to the container (which indicates it is running), the most likely reason is that one of the security groups of the host is not providing inbound access from the load balancer.
Ensure that it can provide inbound access to your load balancer on the specific port.
Other than this check that the target group is configured to use the correct port within the target group, it is easy to accidentally set as port 80 which would lead to it attempting to either health check or service traffic via port 80
I have an application running on an AWS EC2 instance with the domain's nameservers on AWS as well. I have an A record with the public IP.
I've create a secure certificate with ACM and also created an ELB Load Balancer. My domain still doesn't show the HTTPS in front of it.
Can anyone provide some help? Many thanks
Have you tried this ?
First, you need to open HTTPS port (443). To do that, you go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/ and click on the Security Groups link on the left, then create a new security group with also HTTPS available. Then, just update the security group of a running instance or create a new instance using that group.
After these steps, your EC2 work is finished, and it's all an application problem.

The solution is pretty simple.
First of all, edit the listeners on your ELB and do the following:
443 (HTTPS) => 80 (HTTP) - and apply ACM certificate.
What this essentially is doing is tells the ELB to listen on port 443 (HTTPS) and terminate the certificate and then forward traffic internally over port 80 (HTTP) - the port the instance is listening on.
You can also add port 80 (HTTP) and forward to port 80 (HTTP) (recommended and then set up your application to redirect all users to HTTPS). You can read more about ELB and setting up listeners here Create a Classic Load Balancer with an HTTPS Listener
Second thing you need to do is update Route 53 to point to ELB.
ascisolutions.com. A ALIAS s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com. You can read more about it here Routing Traffic to an ELB Load Balancer
Let me know if you have more questions in the comments section and I'll do my best to reply.
You cannot install an ACM certificate on an ec2 instance directly, but you can install it on your load balancer and have the load balancer terminate SSL.
Create a target group and register your ec2 instances using port 80.
In your ELB, setup listeners for both port 80 and 443. You'll need to add your ACM cert to your https listener (port 443). Note that the certificate needs to be issued in the same region as your ELB.
The ELB does not handle redirecting insecure traffic to HTTPS, if needed, you will need to update your application to redirect http to https.
i configured an ELB for an ec2 instance such the load balancer receives data from http:80 send it to https:443 to instances. But when i entered ELB DNS url , it is not redirecting to https.
output of ELB is:
it is showing the output of port 80. can anyone please help to configure elb such that it redirects incoming port 80 traffic to port 443 to ec2 instacne.
Load balancer used to send and receive traffic from different ports from the EC2 instances attached to that Load Balancer. You cannot setup any redirect using a Load Balancer. For redirects you have to set that up using the Web Server of your EC2 instance attached to that load balancer.
Also as per the https goes either you add a SSL certificate to the EC2 instance or the ELB. But that SSL certificate will be for the domain you are going to use for your application, and you do not own the domain "amazonaws.com" so your load balancer URL will never work for https. You have get a Domain and a SSL certificate for that domain upload that SSL certificate to ELB or the EC2 instance and then point the domain to the ELB by adding a C-Name. Then your domain will work for https ://www.domain.com if you have set everything correctly in the web server.
It sounds like you want to redirect HTTP requests to HTTPS. This is more than just a port "redirect", it is also a protocol change. To properly redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS you will need to configure your web server to do that.
My app was easy deployed on 3 instances using OpsWorks. I can Access it using instance IP's fine.
My question is: how can I access it using load balancer?
ELB says all 3 instances are InService, but typing public DNS on browser, it loads forever and shows nothing.
Testing ELB public DNS on http://whatsmydns.com it shows IP's that aren't from my instances.
Am I doing something wrong?
I have added Public DNS to my app as hostname.
There are a couple things to check:
Check that your load balancer listeners are configured to listen
and pass traffic to the same port that the instance is listening on
(for example http traffic 80 => http 80, https traffic 443 => https
443)
Check that the security group of the webservers allows
traffic from the loadbalancer. Though if you can access your instances directly via browser, I'm guessing they are open to 0.0.0.0/0 so shouldn't be an issue here?
Check that security group of the load balancer allows access to public on all needed ports (typically 80 and 443)
Check that elb healthcheck is not failing (under elb
instances you can see if the instances are in service or not) If it
says "Out of service" that's the problem. You need to make sure that
healthcheck URL is accessible and returns 200.
The DNS of your load balancer is different from your instances - it returns the IP addresses of the instances that the load balancer is running on, AWS usually has at least 3 servers behind the scenes for that.
