Route53 domain name not working

Question

I successfully pushed a Rails app to an EC2 instance and gave it an elastic IP. Then I created a hosted zone for the instance and copied the nameservers to my registrar, name.com. This was about 18 hours ago and I still wasn't able to connect to the site (capstonesavings.com), and the AWS "health check" that I instantiated keeps saying "Failure: The health checker could not establish a connection within the timeout limit." After deleting the record sets and the hosted zone, I started all over again and get the same results. It has been a couple of hours and still nothing.

This is my first time doing this, so I need to know how long does it usually take for a domain to propagate? I've heard everywhere from 1 minute to 72 hours. Is there something I've done wrong? Do I have to be more patient? If so, what do I do to expedite this process?

My current whoIs...

Hosted Zone info....

Record sets...

Record for the A-Name...

Thanks to anyone who can help!

Answer 1

From what I can see, your DNS is OK, but the website/webserver is not responding.

The domain is resolving to the Ip address you specified, but the even when accessing the site by IP nothing comes up. I don't think you are having a route53 issue.

BTW: In my experience, from the US anyway, adding records to route53 DNS they usually get propogated within 10-15 minutes at most.
