My site's cloudfront distribution was working fine but now it shows this:
This site can’t be reachedCheck if there is a typo in www.myteachercircles.com.
DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN // my site is www.myteachercircles.com
I am using only AWS services:
The website is hosted in an S3 bucket. The URL given by the S3 bucket works fine: http://myteachercircles.com.s3-website-sa-east-1.amazonaws.com. I am using CloudFront, a custom SSL certificate and Route 53.
I am not an expert but everything seems to be properly configured. I followed this checklist given to my by ChatGPT and
Verify your domain's DNS settings in Route 53:
- Make sure your domain is properly registered with Route 53 or another domain registrar.
- Check the hosted zone for your domain in Route 53 and ensure the correct name servers are configured. //I GOT THE DOMAIN IN ROUTE 53 SO EVERYTHING HERE SHOULD BE FINE
Check your domain's DNS records:
- Ensure you have an "A" record or an "ALIAS" record pointing to the CloudFront distribution. // CHECKED
- Alternatively, you can use a "CNAME" record if you have a subdomain pointing to the CloudFront distribution. // CHECKED
Check the CloudFront distribution settings:
- Ensure your distribution is enabled and properly configured. // I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS "PROPERLY CONFIGURED" BUT AS I SAID MY WEBPAGE WAS WORKING UNTIL RECENTLY
- Make sure your distribution's "Alternate Domain Names (CNAMEs)" field includes your domain name (e.g., www.myteachercircles.com). // CHECKED
Confirm the SSL/TLS certificate settings:
- Ensure the SSL/TLS certificate is valid and associated with your CloudFront distribution. //YES
- The certificate should cover your domain name (e.g., *.myteachercircles.com or www.myteachercircles.com). //YES
Thank you! You pointed me in the right direction. The problem was that I had not verified the email associated with the new url and the aws emails warning me they would pull the site down had gone to spam
