Pointing A Subdomain From Route53 To CENTOS Droplet Displaying Error : This site can’t be reached The connection was reset

Posted on September 28, 2018

Am trying to point a subdomain from Route53 to a Droplet I created. I keep getting, The Site Cannot be reached the connection was reset error.

Below is my setup

I have a virtual host setup on my centOS droplet like this:

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName savings.corpreneur.com.ng

DocumentRoot /var/www/html/platform/public

<Directory /var/www/html/platform/public> Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews AllowOverride All Order allow,deny allow from all DirectoryIndex index.php </Directory>

#ErrorLog /var/www/html/platform/error.log LogLevel warn #CustomLog /var/www/html/platform/access.log combined RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =savings.corpreneur.com.ng RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent] </VirtualHost>

As for my /etc/hosts file, I have the following content:

127.0.0.1 corpreneur corpreneur 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost4.localdomain4 localhost4 139.59.150.44 savings.corpreneur.com.ng

On AWS Route53 I created A Record with the below Detail

Name: savings .corpreneur.com.ng Value: 139.59.150.44

And On My Droplet I have below

Record Hostname Value A savings.corpreneur.com.ng 139.59.150.44 NS savings.corpreneur.com.ng ns1.digitalocean.com NS savings.corpreneur.com.ng ns2.digitalocean.com NS savings.corpreneur.com.ng ns3.digitalocean.com

When I check the NS record, it shows DigitalOcean NS record https://dnschecker.org/#NS/savings.corpreneur.com.ng

When I Also Check the A record https://dnschecker.org/#A/savings.corpreneur.com.ng It shows the IP of the droplet

So could it be an issue with SELinux and not my setup?

I expect this to work but it doesn’t, am confused about this, what am I doing wrong. I need help on this. Thanks!
