So I have an EC2 instance on AWS, associated it with an elastic IP; bought a domain (abstron.net) from Amazon, and tried to use route53 to route abstron.net to EC2.
I created a hosted zone, put in the domain name as abstron.net, created a new record, put the elastic IP (also tried public IP) without a name, but when I try to access abstron.net, it times out or does not load.
I am running a server on port 80 on EC2; the direct URL used for SSH works just fine. Any ideas? Thanks!
