Using custom DNS name to point to my EC2 machine using route 53 A record?

I have a custom domain: develop.yp-uae.waveaxis.co.in

i have created a record set with a record of A name type that points to my elastic ip for my ubuntu machine.

Questions :

  1. Is being added to the domain name develop.yp-uae.waveaxis.co.in.

  2. I have a app running on my server. When i used my elastic ip on address bar all work good i am landing on its index page. But when i used my domain name I am getting develop.yp-uae.waveaxis.co.in server IP address could not be found.

Solution

  • You don't have a record setup for that domain, just the root level domain.

    I ran a DIG command and here's what it returns

    id 40482
opcode QUERY
rcode NOERROR
flags QR RD RA
