Done thanks Creating hosted zone in route 53 with our domain name Creating A record (pointing our domain to our IP), CName record (for www) Change the name servers for the domain to be amazons name servers through godaddy (don’t include dot at the end) 5:29 configuring Apache server to serve only www. Version of the website
Great Video! Still useful as of October 2020, interface is slightly more polished but everything is still relatively same place. Quick question. Whats the downside of having the server "serve up" both versions of the website? www and without www
I'm working from Mac's Terminal, and have some issues on the last step. The Server' Configuration File window is empty. I don't see any commands, where I have to type the three lines of code. Any suggestions, please?
What do you mean? Wouldn't it be 'transferred' when he puts the name servers from AWS onto the name server section from the domain name provider? I'm trying to do this myself but an not sure if this will completely work.
@@julianreyes3114 If you purchase a domain on AWS, the service will automatically create a Hosted zone for that domain. But if your domain is sitting with a different registrar and you want to point your AWS hosted application on it, you'll need to created a hosted zone for that domain on AWS and it will provide you with Nameservers. You'll need to copy and update the provided nameservers to your domain registrar(Same like this video) . However that does not mean you have transferred the domain to AWS. If you had emails running on that same domain, once you update the provided nameservers fromyour created hosted zone your emails will stop working. You'll need to copy the MX Records from you registrar and updated them to your AWS Hosted Zone to get your emails working. You can request transfer domain on AWS Route53, meaning your domain won't be sitting with a different registrar. It'll be like purchasing the same domain again.
So I came to route 53 from lightsail dns zone. I made the mistake of adding the @ sign in from the domain name in the A record. In lightsail it requires the @ to be in place of the domain name. Thanks for the video it helped me figure out what I did wrong.
Hi , awesome tutorial. Straight to the point and simple. I would like to know what are the lines of code to only show the version without ""WWW"". Thanks for you help.
You need to change your WordPress URLs to the preferred version of your domain. Check out step 7 of this tutorial: onepagezen.com/free-ssl-certificate-wordpress-google-cloud-bitnami#step7
what happen if the domain service provider account is closed? will the domain being setup in aws still works? I have this problem where we use bluehost as our domain provider.. our gmail is also using the domain in bluehost... Now we are using aws and we want to migrate our domain from bluehost to aws because we want to close our account in bluehost.. will this tutorial works on that? and when the account is closed in bluehost, will our domain still works? our email still works?
Your technique worked well. But there is one issue I am facing. After changing DNS my domain is working fine. but now I have 2 websites running. One on my domain and other on the public ipv4 address. Please guide me how should I map the public IP to my domain name.
Hey, so my DNS name servers in lightsail are different than the nameservers on the page that you just did. Like when I did exactly what you did I got totally different nameservers than what was on lightsail. (These were obviously different than your nameservers)
In Go daddy domain - DNS management - I just put ip in Value - and now it's happen good Without changing in DNS Name server Thank you Your video teaching style is good and best
Did you still have to create an instance in EC2? Did you still create the hosted zone and CNAME? Trying to do this myself and had to restart when it didn't work the first time.
I have what might be a simple question. I have three domains that all have DNS hosting with Amazon Route 53. I happened to do a Reverse IP Lookup and noticed that all three domain IP addresses are almost identical. Example: 205.251.193.XX. Why are they all practically identical? Are they all practically Identical because I'm using my AWS Route 53 account for DNS hosting?
This is not a domain transfer video. You have just added your EC2 instance IP in route53 & replaced AWS NS in DNS Control Panel. My question is, how to transfer domain name registrar say from Net4 to AWS.
Each time, I restart server, the IP is changing - this is pretty inconvenient! Is it possible to assign a static IP to a EC2 instance similar to what we can do in an Lightsail instance? Also what is Elastic IP?
AWS Elastic IP is a static IP. You need to set up your EC2 instance with a static IP otherwise as you've seen you will get a new IP every time you restart the server
I congratulate you on your videos. A request please, if you can make a video about the cache wordpress settings in google cloud bitnami version. Thank you
How to do same for subdomain?Example abc.1pagezen.com . But thing gets tricky here, I want to keep main domain 1pagezen.com to my other hosting nameserver and subdomain to aws hosting. Is it possible,?
After restarting your server, check that certificate is configured correctly: www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html If it is, check for insecure content errors (part 1 of the following tutorial): www.onepagezen.com/fix-ssl-certificate-errors-google-cloud/ Let me know if you have questions!
Ran into an error with my domain. So my domain was purchase via weebly and I was able to change the nameservers, however instead of redirecting me to: --> ec2-18-219-8-36.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/favr/home.php it redirects me to --> ec2-18-219-8-36.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com/favr/home.php/ (forward slash at the end) it then says the object isn't found.. I don't know how to resolve this issue
Hi Solomon, When you create an instance, make sure to select the auto assign-public IP options as shown here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vFbpQkFfwiA.htmlm48s You will need for your website to be accessible via an IP address before you're able to configure your domain as it's shown in this tutorial. Let me know if you have any questions, Joe
wanted to say thanks for the video, but I'm having a little issue with the rewrite rules. I thought it was me because I'm a noob LOL but I noticed that your video and text instructions are different. Do I stick the rewrite under
Yea - I had the wrong link in the description - fixed. Anyways, put the rewrite rules under the DocumentRoot line. Use the following three lines if you want your website to display your domain with www in front (replace example.com with your own domain): ServerName www.example.com ServerAlias example.com Redirect permanent / www.example.com/ Remember to login to WordPress and change your site URLs to your preferred domain as well. It's a bit tricky with Bitnami, as you can't edit the site URLs from the admin dashboard. Open your wp-config.php file for editing: nano /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/htdocs/wp-config.php Then add the following lines of code at the bottom - remembering to replace example.com with your own domain name: define('WP_SITEURL', 'www.example.com/'); define('WP_HOME', 'www.example.com/'); ^^ Copy and paste this code from the code block in the link below. Don't copy and paste from RU-vid as the ' character is formatted differently: www.onepagezen.com/domain-name-configuration-wordpress-google-cloud/ Let me know if you have any questions, Joe
never mind! I got it Thank you sooooo much!! I wouldn't have figured it out if it wasn't for you! I watched all your videos for AWS. You should link to the google cloud one about wordpress in the AWS posts too because I didn't even realized I was supposed to do that step. I would of spent another 6 hours googling to figure it out. Anyway, many thanks Joe! Keep up the great tutorials. You helped me migrate my entire blog from bluehost to AWS . Yes, AWS has a learning curve, but i did it thanks to you and now my site is 100x faster. wooohoo
what if my domain name provider have only two name servers , which two should i take to replace the 2 in my nameservers ?? (godaddy domain name only has 2 name servers)
Didn't work for me, I can't even access my website. When I go to the domain, it gives me the "register at namecheap" page thing. Is this still applicable today? Edit: It worked now, it took almost 1 hour before I was able to access the site. Thanks!
Hi Graciela, The IP address is assigned to the instance when it's created, as shown in this tutorial: www.onepagezen.com/install-wordpress-aws-bitnami/
Hi Daniel, Your Google Cloud nameservers are located in your “Cloud DNS”. To view them, first create a new “DNS Zone”. Let me know if you have questions, Joe
Hi Eliana, I would go through the steps again and make sure everything was configured properly. Also - try restarting your Apache server and see if you get any error messages.
thanks for the awesome tutorial. First thing, i'm unable to find any code to change domain from "www.mydomain.com" to "mydomain.com". I've tried code manually but does not show any thing on SSH. How do i resolve it. I want show my url as "mydomain.com" regard, Zoey
Hi Zoey, Look at the bottom of this tutorial (www.onepagezen.com/transfer-domain-aws/), in the section titled "Optional Configuration". This will walk you through how to serve the preferred version of your domain by editing your wp-config.php file.
Hi Tyler, Typically your server will show an error message if there is an error in one of your configuration files. Alternatively, check your Apache log files at /var/log/syslog for more information regarding the problem.
Thank you for this. I watched this several times as my server didn't want to load. Turns out I had to just be patient for the nameserver to reflect from GoDaddy side.
Got my domain from porkbun, followed all instructions, put the servers from AWS into "authoritative nameservers" in porkbun, and... epic fail. Freaking AWS is so complicated, I'm amazed I even made it to this point, because everything so far has been far more complicated than this tutorial, this is the simplest part so far in the whole process, and it doesn't work for me.
