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,

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?

Michiel

Hi Michiel

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

Thanks for your assistance. Much appreciated.

Cheers
Niv
