AWS CloudFront Custom domain name with HTTPS not working

1.I have a domain purchased through godaddy. I have set custom DNS and added 4 name servers generated by the hosted zone in AWS Route 53. DNS lookup through whois.net shows the correct values.

2.In Route 53, I have added an A record to the Alias Target xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.cloudfront.net. So the traffic hits Route 53 and goes to CloudFront.

3.In CloudFront, I have one distribution. As Alternate Domain Names (CNAMEs), I have the following values: *.domain.com / www.domain.com / domain.com Under origins, I have one record with the following Origin Domain Name: domain.com.s3-website.az-name-1.amazonaws.com

4.I am hosting website in an S3 bucket. All HTTP requests are set to redirect to HTTPS.

5.Lastly, I have created (US East (N. Virginia) region) and verified a single certificate for the following domain names: domain.com, www.domain.com, *.domain.com I have read some answers that I should just wait and the custom SSL certificate option will become enabled. It's been more than day now, however, and there is no sign of that happening.

My website works in http mode, but not in https url. Any solution ...Please help... PS. I am new to aws, please help me...

Also check that AWS Route 53 Registered Domain Name Servers match the AWS Route 53 Hosted Zones / Record Type "NS" "Value/Route traffic to" servers.

If they do not match, which has happened to me several times during custom domain cloudfront setup, then copy the Hosted Zones / Record Type "NS" "Value/Route traffic to" servers over to the Registered Domain Name Servers in the Route 53 tab.

For me the solution was very simple... I failed to add "Alternate Domain Name", once I did everything clicked.

For anyone else coming across this issue, the button was greyed out for me also and YES, I had requested the ACM cert in us-east-1.

The fix was to try in the Edge browser instead of Chrome.

HTTPS settings was working perfectly as cloudfront url was working as expected so I realized it was just a DNS issue. All it took was an TYPE A record pointing to it.

Solution : Add/edit proper "TYPE A" record with "Alias Target" as a cloudfront url.

Can you confirm whether you have used ACM to generate the SSL certificate? Or you are using SSL certificate from other vendors?

STEP 1: If you have generated the SSL Certificate from ACM, please make sure you did that with US East (N. Virginia) region. Because, CloudFront being an AWS service which is not tied to any specific region, it will use the certificates from US East region only.

STEP 2: 1. Use the "Request or Import a certificate" option in CloudFront 2. Select the certificate which you generated 3. Complete the setup and try

If everything else is setup fine, you should be able to access the contents with HTTPS after the above step.

Let me know in case it didn't work
