Domain name not working in AWS

I had previously hosted my domain in a different instance in a different aws account but for some reason I had to delete that aws account and create a new one. I am now trying to host my domain in the new instance. So I went to my registrar`s account and deleted all the nameservers from the domain name and added the new nameserver. Then I added my domain into the hosted zone in aws. enter image description here

After waiting for 2 3 hrs my domain is still now working but if I visit the public IP it works.

I have edited the /etc/hosts file and added domainname.com there and also I have edited the /sites-available/default and added 

    server {
#        passenger_ruby /usr/bin/passenger_free_ruby;
        rails_env development; # add this if you get error like “Incomplete response received from application” from nginx / passenger
        listen 80 default_server;
        server_name fuitter.com, *.fuitter.com;
        root /usr/share/nginx/html/maggie/public/;

        # You must explicitly set 'passenger_enabled on', otherwise
        # Passenger won't serve this app.
        passenger_enabled on;
    }

I have restarted my nginx server but still it is not working.

Solution

  • As far as I can see, your nameservers are still pointing to orderbox-dns.com nameservers.

    You need to goto the registry where your domain is registerd and tell it that Route53 is going to manage your DNS; those NS records you show above should be entered at the registrar as your nameservers.
