I deployed my Django website on ec2 ubuntu instance. I have associated an elastic IP to my ec2 instance and it works fine when I ping the IP and it shows my website. I configured Route53 and mapped with my GoDaddy domain name. Now, when I use my domain name it is showing the Nginx default page but not my website. However, with IP it works fine.
In Nginx configuration, make sure that the server_name directive has your domain name and not an IP address.
server {
server_name example.org www.example.org;
...
}
Moreover, also bear in mind that you should not use ephemeral IPs in DNS records, please use a DNS name or a static IP.
Your website showing Nginx server installed page , that means you have correctly pointed your Go-daddy domain to your AWS Ec2 IP. and now you dont need to do anything with Go-daddy..
So Now lets look at your AWS Ec2 Nginx .
currently it showing "Nginx server installed page" which is default index.html file, which is in /usr/share/nginx/html folder. This get auto add when you installs Nginx server. successful Nginx installation shows this default page.
To show your own website page , you need to add 2 things in server block of Nginx.conf file
1) assign your domain name to `server_name` directive.
2) assign folder/path of your website directory (root directory having index file) to `root`
like below:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
root /usr/share/nginx/html/example/;
...
}
