# Host a Website in Amazom Web Service(aws)
## Description :
In this article I am giving practical process to host a Ubuntu Nginx server in aws Ubuntu EC2 Instance. You need a aws account and a local Ubuntu Machine.I install Ubuntu envirionment in Windows via wsl.
## aws account setup :
1. Creating an aws account from [here](https://aws.amazon.com/)
2. Creating a Ubuntu 24.04 LTS EC2 Instance and connect and run then install NGINX and run following way
* N.B : Don't forget to open port 80 and 443 port during ec2 creation process.Generally default ssh port is open but you need to check http as wel as https port also.
3. After creating Ubuntu EC2 Instances Run following commands in web based EC2 Terminal
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt autoclean
sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt install ssh
```
## Installing and Run NGINX Server in Ubuntu 24.4 LTS
### SSH Conection:
If You are in 
then don't need to install wsl but may need to install ssh by ```sudo apt install ssh``` and follow.
If you are in 
then you need to install Ubuntu system in your windows machine otherwise you are not able to access all bash commands in Windows terminal.
You need to run following commands in your Windows Terminal which is started as '**Run as Administrator**'
```bash
wsl --install
```
Which give available windows sub system option then install ubuntu by following command and install the distro in current directory
```bash
wsl --install -d
```
Then Set username and password now your machine is ready for ssh
One important thing supposo You want to change directory in a windows path "B:\Web_Projects\aws_project" then you need to type
```bash
cd /mnt/b/Web_Projects/aws_project #add /mnt/ before all windows path
```
* SSH Connection :
Suppose You have created and downloaded "keypair.pem" and your public dns id is public_dns then
```bash
cd keypair.pem_directory
chmod 400 "keypair.pem" #making executable
sudo apt uupdate #for updating packages
sudo apt upgrade -y #for upgrading packages
sudo apt autoremove -y #for remove broken packages
sudo apt autoclean -y #clean broken packages
sudo apt install ssh #installing ssh in system
sudo ssh -i "keypair.pem" public_dns #access remotely ec2
```
If You see ```ssh: connect to host ec2-**-***-***-***.ap-****-1.compute.amazonaws.com port 22: Network is unreachable``` then check network connection, keyvalue pair file location.
----------------------------------------------
## NGINX server setup
After making successfull ssh connection with your local linux machine and aws ec2 then run this commands.
1. Installing nginx
```bash
sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt install nginx
```
2. List of applications are allow by ufw(Firewall service)
```bash
sudo ufw app list
Output
Available applications:
Nginx Full
Nginx HTTP
Nginx HTTPS
OpenSSH
```
3. Allowing Traffic only on port 80 . If you want to open 443 then you need to type ```sudo ufw allow 'Nginx Full'```
```bash
sudo ufw allow 'Nginx HTTP'
sudo ufw enable
```
4. Checking Status
```bash
sudo ufw status
Output
Status: active
To Action From
-- ------ ----
OpenSSH ALLOW Anywhere
Nginx HTTP ALLOW Anywhere
OpenSSH (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
Nginx HTTP (v6) ALLOW Anywhere (v6)
```
If output is shown ```inactive``` then you need to enable ufw in your instance by ```sudo ufw enable``` . After that your EC2 instance not work in browser then you need to access the EC2 instance by ssh through Ubuntu shell.
5. Checking Web Server
```bash
systemctl status nginx
Output
● nginx.service - A high performance web server and a reverse proxy server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Fri 2020-04-20 16:08:19 UTC; 3 days ago
Docs: man:nginx(8)
Main PID: 2369 (nginx)
Tasks: 2 (limit: 1153)
Memory: 3.5M
CGroup: /system.slice/nginx.service
├─2369 nginx: master process /usr/sbin/nginx -g daemon on; master_process on;
└─2380 nginx: worker process
```
6. Get Web Server Public IP
```bash
curl -4 icanhazip.com
```
7. See Your Website on ```http://your_server_ip```
8. You will see
Success! Congratulations your public website is live.
## Add Domain in Your webservice:
10. First you need to buy a domain from domain selling portal as for example I have purchase a domain from [here](https://www.namecheap.com/) with cheap price 101 rupee for one year. You can try Godady.com . Once There was Freenom site which gave free domain for one year but now I am not able to get a free domain from there. Custom Webpage with custom domain 'your_domain'.
```bash
sudo mkdir -p /var/www/your_domain/html
sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/your_domain/html
sudo chmod -R 755 /var/www/your_domain
sudo nano /var/www/your_domain/html/index.html
```
put custom webpage ```index.html``` file inside of '/var/www/your_domain/html/'
```
(html)
Welcome to your_domain!
Success! The your_domain server block is working!
```
```CTRL+X``` to save the file in nano editor.
```bash
sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-available/your_domain
````
Change your_domain with actual domain name.
```bash
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/your_domain/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name your_domain www.your_domain;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
```
Creating a link of /etc/nginx/sites-available/your_domain into etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ location.
```bash
sudo ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/your_domain /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/
```
```bash
sudo nano /etc/nginx/nginx.conf
```
remove ```#``` in front of ```server_names_hash_bucket_size```.
```bash
sudo nginx -t #Checking nginx syntax
sudo systemctl restart nginx #restart nginx
```
## Server Log
- /var/log/nginx/access.log: Every request to your web server is recorded in this log file unless Nginx is configured to do otherwise.
- /var/log/nginx/error.log: Any Nginx errors will be recorded in this log.
