Ec2 Launching an Instance.

Question

Hi everyone. Just got a quick question about AWS. In any Region I can launch an instance and have a dummy hello world website with basic code get it to work. yum update -y yum install -y httpd systemctl start httpd systemctl enable httpd echo "

Hello World from $(hostname -f)

" > /var/www/html/index.html It works in all regions except for Africa ( cape town - af south 1 ). When I create it, it just tries to load. So I assumed it's a security group issue. I have checked security groups ( even with new security group ) and have allowed http in allowed inbound list and have tried to compare to other regions security group but only thing I can think of is that I have to manually change it to have a public IP ( other regions this is set to public ip as default ) and then it needs a subnet. No other regions need subnets. What else can I check? Thanks Lionel

Answer

I would change the inbound and outbound rules. If that doesn't work, create a support ticket with AWS

Hi, Niko.

The Instance starts fine without any errors. But it's when I put the public IP address in the web browser that I get no web page loading from it.

When I launch the same instance from another region with the same html code it launches fine. I can launch an instance from any region besides for south africa.

But will keep on trying to figure it out.

Answer

I would not assume its a security group. 
You can try using describe-instances CLI like so - https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-launch-issue/ to see if you can understand the error in more details.
Let us know how it goes
