Route 53 to EC2 connection not working

Question

So I've followed everything I can find online about how to connect my domain name to my server's IP address via route 53 and EC2.  From what I find my connection is set up correctly.  In route 53 I've gone to my hosted zones and created a new record set.  Type A using my elastic IP address for the value.  I am able to access my server through the browser by simply putting the elastic IP address in; however, the domain is not connecting to that elastic IP address and I don't know why.

Accepted Answer

Did you ever solve your problem?  I also had the exact same problem.  My solution was that I needed to change the DNS names for my domain in the Registered Domains section to match the DNS names that were created when I made the Hosted Zone.

Hi,  
  
If you post your domain name, I'll take a look.   
  
Note that the _Route 53 Developer Guide_ also includes an extensive troubleshooting chapter:
