how to link new domain with amazon web services

I got got a new domain that I want to link to aws.

I've already have EC2 instance running.

I'm using Route53 for DNS, and opened 2 records: www.domain.com and domain.com

I updated the register company about the new dns servers from route53.

I do have an elastic IP I linked to my EC2 instance.

the problem is that i can't reach my web site. I guess I'm missing some parts.

did I miss anything along the way?

EDIT: I can reach my site using the public IP I got from Amazon. But I can't reach it using my domain.

how can i tell what breaks it?

Some things to check:

  1. Have you definatley set the namservers correctly with the domain registrar?
  2. Have you added the elastic IP address in Route 53?

Some other things that you could possibly check are the firewall settings. This is unlikely the case if you can access the site via the IP address.

Do you know what IP address the domain is resolving to. Is this correct?
