Cannot access AWS domain purchased with Route 53

0 votes

I recently purchased a domain on AWS mydomain.com with the intention of creating a record set which can forward traffic to an EC2 instance which I also have running. However, when I try to access mydomain.com from a web browser, I get the error that the site cannot be reached.

The record set I created for this domain was myapp.mydomain.com. I configured this to point to my EC2 instance. When I try to access this domain from a web browser, I get a 502 bad gateway error.

Can someone explain what is going on here?

You will need to start by creating a zone in Route53 for the domain - so mydomain.com, NOT anything else.

Once that has been created, there will be 2 records: SOA and NS.

Using the "Registered Domains" screen, click on the domain and make sure that the name server records match the NS records in the zone you created.

Once that is done, you should be able to create a new A record in the mydomain.com zone for myapp.mydomain.com that points to the IP address of your EC2 instance.
