I’m trying to migrate an instance of Discourse form Digital Ocean over to an AWS EC2. The installation of the new instance seems to work without a hitch, however the EC2 discourse instance seems to be unreachable from my browser. Any idea what this could be causing this and what a fix might be?

Have you set your security group to allow inbound https? So far as I can tell, HTTPS is enabled. I think the user interface could be a bit less fragmented than it seems to be Yeah I’ve often been pretty overwhelmed by the menus/options.

It seems like it could be an issue with the instance itself. If you haven’t done so already, verify that Nginx is running on your EC2 (or in the container) and that the port is accepting traffic. root@*****:/var/discourse# ps aux | grep -i nginx root 3337 0.0 0.0 12944 876 pts/1 S+ …

Have you set your security group to allow inbound https?

I’ve only just started with AWS… I think the user interface could be a bit less fragmented than it seems to be.
