如何将客户端连接到Elastic Beanstalk（AWS）上的PHP应用程序

Question

I'm trying to create a basic Client-Server environment.

Here are the details:

Client: I created an Android app that opens an HTTP connection:

        String url = "http://MYAPPNAME.elasticbeanstalk.com"; 
        DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient(); 

        HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);

        HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);

        httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();

Server: I created:

1. RDS instance with one table called "users".

2. Elastic Beanstalk application. I deployed a PHP file (in a Zip file). The PHP file contains a connection to the DB (RDS) and executes the statement: "SELECT * FROM users"

I Get an error in the first connection between the client and the PHP application:

The security group allows everyone to get to this instance:

80 tcp 0.0.0.0/0

Is someone knows what could be the problem?

Answer 1

You are trying to access to the root directory ("/"). If you could access in that easy way, everybody could. Nobody (without authentication) should be able to access.

Change the path to your path ( http://MYAPPNAME.elasticbeanstalk.com/ ....." and/or define an entry point.

I hope this helps ;)
