I am setting up apache on my machine to serve some static content. I am running into the following issue:
The public IP address of my instance is: 54.203.56.245 and the domain which maps to this instance is timelines.co. The DNS propagation has happened long back and when using another server, I am able to successfully access my website like this: http://timelines.co
With HTTPD, I am able to access my website like this: http://54.203.56.245 (you can try it out in your browser). However, I am not able to access it like this: http://timelines.co -- I get a 'timeslines.co refused to connect' error (ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED).
What could be the reason for this? I have been playing with Virtual Hosts, but to no avail.
This is what my httpd.conf looks like - I have added this at the bottom:
IncludeOptional /etc/httpd/sites-enabled/*.conf This is what /etc/httpd/sites-enabled looks like:
timelines.co.conf -> /etc/httpd/sites-available/timelines.co.conf This is what /etc/httpd/sites-available/timelines.co.conf looks like:
<VirtualHost *:80> ServerName timelines.co ServerAlias www.timelines.co DocumentRoot /var/www/timelines.co/html ErrorLog /var/www/timelines.co/log/error.log CustomLog /var/www/timelines.co/log/requests.log combined </VirtualHost> What am I doing wrong?
Edit 1: On my local computer, I am able to open the website in Internet Explorer but not in Microsoft Edge and Chrome.
Edit 2: I cleared all browsing data (everything) on chrome, and now the website is loading on chrome too. I have not cleared things on Edge yet and the website is not loading on Edge.
Edit 3: I cleared all browsing data (everything) on Edge, and now the website is loading on Edge as well. It seems like some sort of cache issue. Not sure what though. Maybe a clash between DNS lookups stored in browser cache.
