"This site can’t be reached " -> Using Lightsail with a wordpress instance and a Route53 Domain Name

0

Hi all,

Firstly wordpress is running fine on the static ip assigned but I cannot get my Route53 Domain to point successfully at the static ip - I am stuck in Name Server difficulties.

Ive actually spent nearly 3 days trying to figure this out, watching videos, checking support, looking at stack overflow and am actually pretty sick of it all

Im still very confused here are the steps I am taking

  • USING a Domain name which was registered by Route53
  • No Hosted Zones in Route 53
  • Created Lightsail DNS Zone
  • Copied 4 Lightsail DNS Name Servers
  • Pasted 4 Lightsail DNS Name Servers in the Registered Domain Name Servers
  • Assigned Static ip currently running wordpress instance
  • Checked both http and https and www, and root Domain
  • Response is This site can’t be reached / DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

All help gratefully received

Here are a few things to check:

Make sure that the DNS zone you created in Lightsail is for the correct domain name.

Verify that the name servers you copied from Lightsail are the correct ones for your domain. You can check this by comparing the name servers in your Lightsail DNS zone with the ones that are listed in the Route53 Registered Domain Name Servers.

Confirm that the static IP address you are using is the correct one for your WordPress instance.

Check if the domain is propagated, it might take some time, you can use online tools to check the propagation of your domain.

Check if you have set up the correct records in the DNS zone, like A record, CNAME record, etc.

Verify that your firewall or security group rules are not blocking traffic to your instance.

check if you have set up the correct records in the DNS zone, like A record, CNAME record, etc.

Try to use the IP address directly instead of the domain name to check if your instance is accessible.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or if you need more help troubleshooting.

The steps and checks provided by jayamaheizenberg are pretty comprehensive. The issues you are describing indicate an error in setting up the DNS records. The most likely cuplrits are typos, copy-paste errors, or using the wrong record type for the NS registrations in the domain name registration or the static IP in the Lightsail hosted zone.

I would like to add a few words with the above answers which are actually comprehensive.

Please flush your local computer DNS cache, the browser cache, restart the computer and router. Release and renew the IP address. Thanks
