How to get PHP site live on amazon EC2 instance?

Question

I have already installed ubuntu14, lamp, phpmyadmin on the EC2 instance. The site is running fine with the public dsn:

http://ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com.

Now I need to make it live for original domain like

http://example.com

I did not register example.com through amazon aws, but through the separate domain service provider. In Route 53, I added a hosted zone with example.com that created two record sets. One with NS and one with SOA. I noted NS, name server/Delegation Set provided by amazone route 53 and replaced the existing name server from registrar from where I purchased domain.

How to i link Route 53 hosted zone with my ec2 apache www

What is next step? I don't know.

Answer 1

In AWS Route 53. You need to create an A type record in you hosted zone. Click on Create Record Set and in the right panel use the following values:

Name: <leave blank>
Type: A - IPv4 address
Value: <your elastic ip>

Then hit Create button.

If you want www.example.com create another record filling field Name with www.
