I have a application hosted in amazon EC2 instance. My application runs at http://ec2...compute-1.amazonaws.com/index.html. We also have a domain registered as sovan.test.com. WE want to use Route53 for redirect/open http://ec2...compute URL when user used the registered domain name. How can we do this?
We are getting an error that we can not host anything with index as back. and also it do not detect http:.
Please give some advice.
Thanks
Amazon Route53 is a Domain Name Service, which can resolve names into IP addresses. For example, if a user types www.foo.com, it can return the IP address of a web server of load balancer that will respond to a request.
Note that is only resolves the domain, which is the initial part of an address. It does not resolve the path portion of a URL. For example, going to www.foo.com/index.html will result in resolving www.foo.com to an IP address, then sending a request for the index.html page to that server. The index.html portion is not part of the DNS resolution.

I have deployed a django based website on my AWS lightsail instance. the web address has a port 8000 (:8000). I own a domain on (host =fatcow.com). I have created a hosted zone on AWS and pasted the ns values to my provider(factor)'s Nameservers values. In the amazon route53, I have created a new record with a simple redirect A ipv4 and entered the resolver IP address value - my web address with port value. it doesn't work.
Also, I have read that the redirect will not work for its with port numbers. I have tried redirecting my domain to the static ip, then created another hosted zone record trying to redirect the static ip to the ip+port value - error pops up saying it is not a valid address.
I currently use the development server provided by django as it is a personal website and currently it will not have a lot of traffic - portfolio website.
Also, on my fatcow.com domain settings, the Nameservers are updated and in the whois values, new Nameservers are seen. I have only added the 4 NS values. AWS also created SOA ip values but I was not able to add them to the domain (Inputs were not taken by fatcow ).
In the NSLookup website, I can see NS values and SOA values which are on the AWS hosted zone but A records show none.
Edit: sorry for the confusion. my domain is www.chandradhar.com. I'm not a web dev but I'm trying to deploy a django based portfolio website. I have added Amazon Lightsail DNS nameservers to my domain (host=fatcow.com). the web address is :8000 port. Without the port number, the website isn't loading at all. Only with the port number along the static IP, the website loads. 'A' record isn't taking the port number. I did add a SRV record with the port number(in AWS route 53) but still doesn't work. when checked from the website nslookup.io, the nameservers are updated correctly
Not reproduceable.
> host fatcow.com
fatcow.com has address 65.254.254.33
fatcow.com mail is handled by 10 mail.fatcow.com.
Most probably your changes in DNS have already propagated.
Steps to successfully deploy one or more websites on lightsail AWS when the domain is on another website like godaddy/fatcow.
Create a dns zone in the networking section of the lightsail instance.
Copy the name servers from the dns zone and paste it in the name servers section of the domain provider (fatcow/godaddy) - it might take upto a day for the values to get updated - i used nslookup.io to see if my nameservers were updated.
Create 'A' records and SRV records pointing to the static ip of the lightsail instance.
Install Nginx
Create a simple script with the (name of the website).conf in the conf.d folder/available sites folder
Add the following script:
server
{
listen 80;
server_name domainname.com;
location / { proxy_pass http://ipAdd:PortNum;
}
}
Repeat the same code block with different domains and redirect ports. I guess we can also use 301 redirect to achieve the same.
This might or might not be the proper way of achieving what I required but it'll work.
is there any way to retrieve the user client domain from the ALB access logs?
from AWS documantation there is a 'domain_name' attribute but it is indicates the requested server domain rather than the client domain.
i know that in nginx there is a domain attribute which indicates the domain of the client,
is there a way to retrieve client domain from the alb?.
As you've pointed out, ALB access logs do not provide client's dns name. Instead they return:
client:port - The IP address and port of the requesting client.
Thus, to get the domain name of the client, you would have to parse the logs, and "manually" get the domain based on the IP. For example, if python is used, there is gethostbyaddr which can be useful in getting the domain name from an IP address.
I have a domain name lets says it is domain.com. I have created an EC2 instance with a LEMP stack to host the website. The domain name is registered at godaddy. I have created a hosted zone and also created a record set with my elastic IP. The thing is website is accessible if I type domain.com, but when I add www to it doesn't work. If url is www.domain.com it gives an error. I am unable to find a way to do this. I would be highly grateful if anyone can help me in solving this problem.
when you moved the domain to a different server,the dns will need to be updated to the new value. this is a caching issue, wait a few hours for the cache to expire and then your new ip will be retrieved.
I'm deploying my first app on EC2. I have a domain name registered, lets call it example.com. My ec2 instance has a public ip, lets say, 100.100.100.100. When I got the EC2 instance, I already have a wordpress site installed on it (the blog for my app - blog.example.com). Hitting the public ip directly goes to the blog.
My app is running on the 4000 port of this EC2 instance. I want to assign the example.com domain to this.
I'm using AWS Route 53 for the DNS. I'm clicking on create a record set, where I give the name - www.example.com to the value 100.100.100.100:4000. The type is an IP-v4. However, when I try to assign this, I get the error below:
The record set could not be saved because:
- The Value field contains invalid characters or is in an invalid format.
It's because I've specified the port of the ip in the value. How do I get example.co to point to this app on 100.100.100.100:4000? Thank you for all the help in advance!
Amazon Route53 is a global Domain Name Service (DNS).
DNS services are used to resolve DNS names (eg example.com) to an IP address (eg 100.100.100.100). However, DNS servers do not point to ports on a machine (eg port 4000).
Therefore, to refer to 100.100.100.100:4000, you would use example.com:4000.
I am new in the Amazon EC2 world, I just created an app, that is located URL like this:
http://ec2-54-123-45-678.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080
This is generated URL by Amazon EC2.
Now I would need to use my own domain name, so when I would access www.my-domain-name.com, I would like to see the content from
http://ec2-54-123-45-678.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8080
I bought the domain name on Godaddy.
Is there any way to do this in Amazon AWS dashboard or do I need to set it up in Godaddy system?
Thanks
I am answering on a more general level because I stumbled upon this thread when setting my custom domain.
In Amazon I created an instance and associated an IP to that instance. You were able to access it by typing in the amazon url
I actually used Media Temple not GoDaddy, but it will be similar. I went to the zone file and added that public url to the www
And as you can see, here is my blog actually working on the custom domain.
I set the wildcard because that way, no matter what someone types, if it is not set, then they will still see the site.
EDIT
For the root URL you should be entering your elastic IP and setting that as an A record.
First you need to set an ElasticIP for associated to that instance.
Then point the DNS entry of "www" for "my-domain-name.com" to the IP assigned in the step above.
Where you manage your DNS is another thing, can be in GoDaddy or in AWS Route53. You must adjust the delegation DNS in the "my-domain-name.com" register. Ex: your domain can be registered with GoDaddy but its delegation DNS point to Route53 so you can manage the domain from your AWS Console.
In order to setup DNS mapping you can map the existing IP 54.123.45.678 to ex: www.my-domain-name.com.
However, as you are running tomcat which is running at 8080 you need to forward the the request to the tomcat using Apache. So that you can visit www.my-domain-name.com without port 8080. If you are using linux box install Apache, apache-modjk and then configure sites.
