I have to do part of a college project on amazon instance. The lecturer set up the instances for the year, supplying us with the public DNS and KEY.
Having downloaded WINSCP to make it easier etc. I find that after i have created my html pages etc i cannot access them from the web.
IM assuming that that http://ec2----.compute-1.amazonaws.com/home.html should open the file ???
Any help would be apprciated
A few things.
httpd -v will tell you what version of http is installed. But it doesn't tell you whether or not its running. Use service httpd status to see if its running.
Check the apache config file and make sure you put the index.html file in the correct directory.
Verify that you can access port 80 from outside the instance. Its possible there is a firewall in amazon that the professor has not unlocked.
Download PuTTy and configure it to access your ec2 instance on terminal. Install any web server e.g Apache or you can install LAMP directly to make your file accessible on web.

I am tasked to develop a laravel project for our company. I have to deploy it within the company's network only. It is my first time to do it and haven't find any good source of instruction so far. I hope you can help me with this. I am using XAMPP for this one. And the machine runs on a Windows Server 2016.
Laravel applications are easy to install on IIS. You can use the url_rewrite extension to import the rules from the .htaccess file. Other than that it is really no different than deploying to any other server.
You can also use your company's local DNS to point to the server if you wish to access it via https://my-app.company.com.
May sure you all are one in common network
sudo php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 81 (you can change the port if you want)
Other people will be able to access with you'r IP address http://your-pc-id-address:81
My computer is OSX. I'm logged into an ssh connection (Ubuntu), and from there I'm ssh'ed into an OpenStack instance of Ubuntu 14.04. From this OpenStack instance I've been following a Docker-Compose tutorial from the Docker docs : https://docs.docker.com/compose/gettingstarted/
I'm on Step 4, and I'm successfully running a server that is running on http://0.0.0.0:5000/
However, I don't know how to view a GUI Google Chrome browser from my Macbook. Because whenever I go to http://0.0.0.0:5000/ it says server not found, which makes sense because it's not on my computer.
I read something about port forwarding, but I'm not sure that's right here. I'm fairly new, so please help!
Also, is this the right way to use an OpenStack machine? That you use your computer's web browser to view the web app?
I solved it myself. Turns out on OpenStack, you need to create a security group and then add it to your instance. When you create a security group, you can add a port that you want to provide public access to. And then you can view the web app on any computer by typing in your floating IP on OpenStack, colon separated by the public port address.
I am trying to setup an amazon ec2 instance for first time.
I've created one with ubuntu 10.4, managed to connect to ssh and installed mongodb, mysql, php and apache which need for my proyect(also python but it is already setup).
Then I associated an elastic ip to the instance, but when I try to open the IP, I can't. It gives timeout.
Could it be that the apache root is not where I think it is?(/var/www/)
You need to check the security group that is associated with the instance. Make sure that you open up port 80.
Also make sure that apache is started, and configured to start on boot.
If you're logged in, you should be able to use wget localhost to verify if apache is serving up pages.
I have a free Amazon EC2 instance. And I installed Apache web server on it. I have the DNS record for my domain point to the ip for the EC2 instance. I can not access to my website. Then I looked up and allow the http inbound. But I still failed to access my web? What might be the reason. Anybody gives me a clue?
Go to the AWS management console and look at the Security Group the instance is in. Then make sure you have the port open that you are trying to connect to (most likely 80). To open it to the world set the ip range to 0.0.0.0/0 and to open it to a specific ip (like only your house) set it to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/32.
That is almost always the reason people have problems connecting when they are new to AWS. I wrote this post, which should help get you setup.
Today is my second day of trying to use amazon and i have started to pull my hairs. I want to set up ftp with amazon. I have signed up with them and and created an instance with amazon EC2. I have downloaded the key and I am able to login with ssh using the through Terminal in my mac. I can create files in the instance through terminal.
The instance is something like following:
Public DNS: ec2-xx-xx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com
I have created a index.html file at this location via terminal. But I am not able to view it in the browser using following url:
ec2-xx-xx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com/index.html
I just want to create web services here which I will be using in iPhone.
Also I am not sure how to go forward. How will I get to my local files and upload them to server. In other ftps I could do it using lcd, get, put etc but these commands are not working here. can some one please help me how should I go ahead because at this moment I am just banging my head to wall. Someone please help me.
Thanks
Pankaj
Use scp to copy files over ssh:
scp -i key-pair-file file-to-upload ec2-user#instance-public-DNS:
Notice the colon at the end!
With plain EC2 instances, you also need to install some sort of Web server software to power your Web service, and open the HTTP port in the firewall.
Just in case you plan to write your Web service in Java, I have put together a series of articles (Part I, Part II, Part III) guiding through the basics of installing Apache Tomcat on an Amazon Linux EC2 instance.

Dmitry Leskov is actually the better one. You should use his approach.
Answer from 2012
You first have to setup a LAMP (Linux, Apache, mySQL, PHP) stack on your EC2 instance to run any kind of web service.
This means you have to go trough the following steps:
Create an EC2 instance
Setup EBS Storage for mySQL data
Install mySQL
Configure mySQL
Install Apache
Configure Apache
Install PHP
Configure PHP
If you need a detailed instruction, I'd recommend you to take a look at this: Building EC2 with LAMP.
To transfer files to your EC2 instance you can use any FTP client, which supports SFTP and key pairs (you can also enable PasswordAuthentication for SSH to login with credentials). I'm using Transmit with no problems.
On a related note, I encountered a strange problem where I could not FTP from a PHP script running under apache - but I could if I ran the PHP script as root from the command line. After a day of googling, I found this, which solved the problem.
Disable SELinux. (Security Enhanced Linux)
The temporary solution is:
echo 0 >/selinux/enforce
..which will prove the concept, but will not survive a reboot. There are plenty of resources out there that describe how to permanently disable SELinux.
