无法 ssh 我的 aws ec2 实例，其中包含我的 wordpress 文件

Question

I have configured my ec2 instances three days back and installed wordpress and added my files in the instances. Suddenly, from last night my ec2 public ip is showing timeout when I try to open the link in browser.

My security setting are open for all traffic, I didn't change any modifications to the default settings has when creating instance. Not sure what to do, request some one help to sort it out.

Answer 1

You can try to spin up and provision a new EC2 instance with wordpress on it, then attach and mount your old EBS volume (from your old EC2 instance) to the new EC2 instance.

Just in case something bad happen, always create EBS snapshots first.

See this docs for detaching an Amazon EBS volume from a Linux instance , and this docs for attaching an Amazon EBS volume to an instance .

Answer 2

As you're not using an elastic IP address for your instance, you should attach one so that the IP address cannot change in the future (even if the instance restarts or shuts down).

Once you've done this you will need to resolve and DNS records to this new IP address and use this IP address in the browser. However this will not need to be done again in he future, and you will maintain the same instance.

Also double check that your security groups are not bound to any specific IP addresses for an inbound rule, if your IP address is not fixed. If they are then either update them to your current IP or consider another ingress method to access if it is internal to your organisation.
