I am trying to follow THIS tutorial to set up a LAMP on my ec2, with the eventual goal of setting up a WordPress blog on the instance. I've set the security group as follows: LINK TO PICTURE OF MY SECURITY GROUP INBOUND RULES
I've completed the setup via PuTTY and am SSHing into the instance just fine. I ran the chkconfig --list httpd command, which output httpd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off just like it should, and then I tried entering the public IPV4 address into my browser, it doesn't give me the apache test page, but rather this: image of port 80 not actually being open, after all
I am using the following AMI: amzn-ami-hvm-2018.03.0.20190611-x86_64-ebs
Help!
EDIT var/log/httpd/error.log doesn't exist, so checking it won't help.
Did you install WordPress on your EC2 instance?
If you have not, find your User Data in your EC2 instance settings and add the following:
#!/bin/bash
yum -y update
yum install httpd php php-mysql -y
cd /var/www/html
echo "healthy" > healthy.html
wget https://wordpress.org/wordpress-5.1.1.tar.gz
tar -xzf wordpress-5.1.1.tar.gz
cp -r wordpress/* /var/www/html
rm -rf wordpress
rm -rf wordpress-5.1.1.tar.gz
chmod -R 755 wp-content
chown -R apache:apache wp-content
wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/bucketforwordpresslab-donotdelete/htaccess.txt
mv htaccess.txt .htaccess
chkconfig httpd on
service httpd start
I hope this works out well for you.
