Description:
Hi. I cloned my wordpress site by creating a new AMI using the "create image" option in AWS. I launched the AMI in a new instance and got a new IP which is 54.90.0.30.

However, the IP will not connect me to my new site.

Hi @nivashen,

Is that the IP that shows in your EC2 console? Do you have a domain configured for your instance?

Hi Michiel

Yes that is the IP in my EC2 console. I have not linked it to a domain name yet if that's what you mean

Hi @nivashen,

Did you follow the steps from this guide:

Hi @nivashen,

Can you try setting the hostname to the new IP address:

sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/bnconfig --machine_hostname NEW_IP

Hi Michiel

I entered the code as follows:
sudo /opt/bitnami/apps/wordpress/bnconfig --machine_hostname 54.90.0.30 and then performed a restart. Still no luck.. Was the way I entered the code correct?

Hi @nivashen,

I've not been able to reproduce the issue. Did you add the right security group to your new instance, with ports 80 and 443 publicly accessible?

Regards,
Michiel

Hi Michiel

Problem solved! I launched a new instance with a different security group.

Thanks for your assistance. Much appreciated.

Cheers
Niv
