How to use lightsail instance snapshot and point it to different IP
Hi there,
I took a snapshot of an instance to deploy it on a new instance which I did but whenever I write out the IP address of the new instance and adding :2087 as the port it takes me to my old instance console login (I use cpanel).
My goal is to enter the new instance to extract a database file and then terminate the new instance.
Would love to get some help to solve this issue.
Thank you!
Did you try a different browser and/or private mode? You might have been seeing cached info?
You need to access the new instance using the IP address that is assigned to it. When you create a new instance from a snapshot, it's not given a static IP.
I assigned a new static IP address and changed the hostname file, I don't have a lot of knowledge in computer networking if I did I would probably solve this problem quick, will try more stuff.
