First time bitnami user here. I’m having some problems after installing this bitnami ami (ami-b7a29cc3) which is WordPress MU.

I have a site residing here on amazon EC2 obviously.

I’m struggling with adding my domain to it rather than the default DNS of the EC2.

The domain I’ve pointed at it is topmmorpg100.com.

Just not having a lot of luck with it. Seems to be a routing issue of some description as the domain is pointing to the EC2 just fine.

MacBook-Pro:$ ping topmmorpg100.com PING topmmorpg100.com (176.34.127.170): 56 data bytes

Not sure of the answer, I have followed this guide and updated the URLs in the database and made the changes this document suggest I need to.

    A tracert reveals that the problem is somewhere in your Amazon EC2 config: 

    tracert topmmorpg100.com

Tracing route to topmmorpg100.com [176.34.127.170]
over a maximum of 30 hops:

    Are you sure you’ve either set up an A record in your DNS server pointing to the Amazon Elastic IP associated with the EC2 instance you’ve set up, or to your Elastic LoadBalancer (ELB)?

    You can also try using a CNAME and pointing it to ec2-176-34-127-170.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com but this is strongly dispreferred, because this address will change when you switch instances, etc. Much better to use an Elastic IP, or an ELB if your traffic requires load-balancing.
