Question
How to set up access to website hosted within VPC?

Asked by StephanH
I want to host my webserver inside a VPC. I do not plan to have it redundant and therefore I do not need load balancing.
I set a gateway as described here.
I also set up a webserver within the VPC. However, I cannot access it through the gateway.
I cannot find any documentation that explains how to provide access to a web server within a VPC from the internet.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
There are at least two configurations that allow you getting your web server from behind an internet gateway (from the internet):
The latter solution seems to be more convenient for configuration where internet gateway is intended just for securing VPC (firewall).
