I just created a new environment with AWS and uploaded a .zip file into elastic beanstalk. I used to have a friend's server host my site instead of GoDaddy so I changed my custom DNS name servers from pointing to my friend's server to GoDaddy's. AWS told me that I need I need to add a CNAME record on GoDaddy and I did.
The alias is lance
and the host is lance-env.elasticbeanstalk.com
. I know that this change can take 24-48 hours to take effect but it's been a day already and when I go to my site, a default page from GoDaddy appears. I'm very new to AWS and would just like to find a way for AWS to host my site other than using Route53.
lance-env.elasticbeanstalk.com
is pointed to an IP at Amazon, but not returning. Either does the rootelasticbeanstalk.com
. First you'll need the rootelasticbeanstalk.com
to return your website - same withlance-env.elasticbeanstalk.com
. Then you can direct the root for "my site" to that, or vice versa using a CNAME. – dan♦ Jan 22 '14 at 7:18
