When trying to add an 'A' record for the Lightsail Load Balancer in Route 53, getting the following error message:
Bad request. (InvalidChangeBatch 400: AAAARRDATAIllegalIPv6Address (Value is not a valid IPv6 address) encountered with 'https://22f2ec0f554a3ed19cd86f967a233d31-1611969460.eu-central-1.elb.amazonaws.com/'')

Hey,

I have setup to migrate from old server to new server via whm migration process but now the smtp port is not working and able to send the mail to client domain.

Any Resolutions?

Using Route53 to handle split-horizon DNS for EC2 and Lightsail (LS) instances. Would like to use LS instance private IP to facilitate data transfers to/from EC2 without data transfer costs. I can ping between the LS and EC2 just fine with the privates. FQDN resolves OK from EC2 to LS but does not work in the opposite direction. I guess the issue is how do you get LS to participate in a private domain zone in Route53. Lightsail DNS does not seem to support private domain zones. Couldn't find any articles on this type of situation.

Hi,

The method detailed in this doc appears to be deprecated and replaced by the following doc:
Deprecated: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-using-lets-encrypt-certificates-with-wordpress

Updated: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/linux-lightsail-ssl-bitnami/

The updated doc uses a mechanism that makes it easier to auto-renew at 90 days

Thanks!
Greg

Hi there I'm trying to connect filezilla to my lightsail instance that's running windows server so I can transfer files.

I have created a pair of keys and followed the instructions on this but no luck.
https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-connecting-to-linux-unix-instance-using-sftp#connecting-to-linux-unix-instance-using-sftp-prerequisites

I guess my question is how do I confirm what my default user name is? I made the assumption "ec2-user" Is correct.

If that's true then its something else??

Thanks for any tips ...not much good having a server if you can't get data to it??

I've just tried to follow the doc amazon-lightsail-using-lets-encrypt-certificates-with-wordpress.md, for a new bitnami wordpress (debian) instance - but at the end the Really Simple SSL Pugin failed to find the certs.

On closer investigation, it seems like the locations for htaccess.conf and wp-config.php are outdated in the doc.

I have not been able to figure out what paths I'd need to use for it to work - but I then checked out the Bitnamis doc for SSL on AWS which not only worked, but provide a much more elegant solution - a script that helps you set SSL up alot easier than outlined in the docs here. It also seems like this script provides automatic renewal via a cronjob.

Possible solutions: Either update the doc to the correct paths or link to the Bitnami docs?

Hey I was looking at this doc which deals with how to configure ssh keys for accessing your lightsail instances. I found out that AWS Region keywords are missing and the sentence becomes incorrect. I tried other language translations (Japanese, French & German) and all seem to have the AWS Region keyword as expected.

en_us translation (English)

de_de translation (German)

fr_fr translation (French)

ja_jp translation (Japanese)

P.S. - The github markdown is correct so it seems like an issue with translation. Somehow those keywords are being omitted in en_us version.

Interacting with a customer, I came across an issue where the customer is unable to find out what happens to the data transfer quota when there are multiple lightsail instance bundles.

After reaching out to the engineers internally, I found the following details:

if you create and then terminate an instance, any data transfer consumed by this first instance will count against the data transfer allowance of the next instance you create. For instance, let’s say you create a $3.50 bundle (“Bundle 1”), run up 500 GB of data transfer, and then terminate the instance part way through the month. The next day, you create a new $3.50 bundle (“Bundle 2”) and use another 500 GB of data transfer. Bundle 2 will then have reached its 1 TB data transfer allowance (the 500 GB consumed by Bundle 1 + the 500 GB consumed by Bundle 2). Once this 1 TB allowance is reached, any data transfer out of Bundle 2 before the end of the month will be metered and billed as an overage.

However if they were to create a 0.5TB quota instance and a 1TB quota instance, and they used 1TB of data transfer on the 0.5TB quota instance, they'd incur an overage.

Can this information be included in the FAQs page so that the users have more insights to this rather than having to reach out to CS team for it?

Thank you

After changing the mysql mode to 'data import mode' is available, I tried to import the data into lightsail mysql.
But system said that
' Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER, SYSTEM_VARIABLES_ADMIN or SESSION_VARIABLES_ADMIN privilege(s) for this operation'

the document I referred are below .

What problems?

HI,

All the directories in this instruction do not exist in my instance.

my directories were stack/wordpress is where I found the config file.

When I got to the stage to change from http to https I managed to make the edit to the config file, but can't restart getting a ctlscript.sh command not found error

Hi all,

Following this guide which has been updated on 25th of October, the bitnami instance is not starting anymore after installing a certificate with certbot

The tutorial for attaching a domain to a lightsail instance says to click on the Create DNS button under the Networking tab, but it looks like the UI has changed since that was written and there is no button to Create DNS under that tab.

When walking through: https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-using-lets-encrypt-certificates-with-wordpress to setup my Wordpress site as SSL getting an error when executing the sudo apt-get update command.

Getting the below error output:

On googling looks like an issue with certbot and the version of Ubuntu:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60249177/e-the-repository-http-ppa-launchpad-net-certbot-certbot-ubuntu-focal-release

Please provide guidance on how to proceed to correctly set this up in LightSail

Hello, I tried to setup a action-specific and resource-specific policy using the document. I've copied it exactly as the example shown, just replacing the ARN. However the user continues to get 403 error when signing in to the Lightsail console.

In another documentation on permissions I see this note:

Important

Action-specific and resource-specific permissions are not currently supported in the Lightsail console. If you configure a policy that grants access to specific Lightsail actions or resources, the user will get a 403 error when signing in to the Lightsail console.

So is this still the case?

Hi!

Firstly, apologies if this isn't the right repo to report this, there aren't many options to contact aws to provide developer feedback to help improve their services.

There is an ongoing thread over at terraform-provider-aws about the partial support for lightsail in terraform, particularly the missing features of firewall and block storage.

I noticed on your lightsail docs that port 443 is enabled by default on application blueprints but not operating system blueprints.

Is there a reason for this? the internet has moved away from 80 and almost all sites are now required to use SSL on 443.
It seems an odd decision to include 80 but not 443, I could see a reason to have neither or both, but it seems unusual to only have 80.

I've also been searching for the source code for the lightsail blueprints (to see what's installed in the application blueprints), where are these published?

Thanks!

Hello everybody,

I used the following guide, updated on December 20, 2021, as the tutorial says, I tested my instance and got the approach A, but it doesn't work.
https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-using-lets-encrypt-certificates-with-wordpress#complete-the-prerequisites-lets-encrypt-wordpress

I had this issue before and it was solved following this solution:
#63

But it does not work anymore, when I try this one I get this error:

That's my Apache config. :

Thank you for your help.

Hey,

Thank you for providing this elaborate guide, by following the guide, I came across two questions:

1. In the guide, it's saying "don't use a prefix if using an apex domain." In DNS Zone, I can't create an A record for the top level domain eg. abc.com, I have to input at least character in front of the domain, maybe @ for the apex domain?
2. In Route 53, I can't input a text value(the Load Balancer created in Lightsail) if I want to create an A record with Alias enabled, and I have to select resource from drop down list which I couldn't find lightsail.

Please see the snapshots for more info.

Thank you.

PLEASE FORGIVE ME

When I execute the commands to create user and give privileges what I need all be great.
But when I put exit on mysql-cli and try to connect with the new user was created previously refuse my connection cause the access is denegate.

Someone knows how can I get access with other user created previously? or how can I fix it?

Please help!

And thanks!

In the article Tutorial: Using Let’s Encrypt SSL certificates with your WordPress instance in Amazon Lightsail it says in Step 9 that the certificate needs to be manually renewed every 90 days.

After I followed the instructions in the article, I found that the certbot tool had installed a cronjob at /etc/cron.d/certbot that attempts to renew my certificate twice a day.

With this cronjob, do I still need to manually renew the certificate every 90 days? And if not, does the article need to be updated to reflect this fact?

After creating Distribution with my instance as the origin. I am getting ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS.
I went through the docs and configured everything as required.
has anyone seen this before.

Hi, we having a store running on woocommerce. We recently tried to use multiple instance for same website with lightsale managed database, we set website on different zone like zone a b and c and used load balancer to spliot the traffic

now isssue is that when we tried to install woocommerce and check its working or not and it works on one server but when we looked on another one, its says aplugin deactivated due to aerror and does not exist. Then looking on previous on and now its deactivated there as well

what we need is that every information is the server should reflect on another as well, any solution why this happens

Let's briefly compare some service providers of the same type:

Container log css in Win10 (at least) seems way off.

I am seeing some missing text that is shown in https://github.com/awsdocs/amazon-lightsail-developer-guide/blob/master/doc_source/amazon-lightsail-downloading-bucket-objects.md but not in the published web page. The string "AWS CLI" is missing in several places in several pages.

An example is https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-downloading-bucket-objects#downloading-bucket-objects-aws-cli. The heading simply says "Download objects using the".

CentOS 8 & Ubuntu 16.04 went END OF LIFE, may need to be removed from selection list.

AlmaLinux and Rocky Linux are available on EC2, when will we be able to install these Linux versions on Lightsail as well?

Debian 11 was released on August 14, 2021, but Lightsail doesn't support this version yet (June 20, 2022).

The OS versions on Lightsail are too old, and updates are very untimely.

For this section of the tutorial, I believe for approach B the path to the lets encrypt certs should be:
/etc/letsencrypt/live/$DOMAIN/privkey.pem
/etc/letsencrypt/live/$DOMAIN/fullchain.pem

Full code for that section:

sudo ln -s /etc/letsencrypt/live/$DOMAIN/privkey.pem /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server.key
sudo ln -s /etc/letsencrypt/live/$DOMAIN/fullchain.pem /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/server.crt

This was an issue I ran into when adding certs to a wordpress bitnami image 12/16/2021

Would instructions to ssh into a lightsail instance via Terminal on macOS and Ubuntu and puTTy on Windows be beneficial?

i have disable the banner. Now for some reasons, I want to re-enable the the bitnami banner. Kindly tell me how can i re-enable the banner.

Tutorial for Getting started using WordPress from your Amazon Lightsail instance is outdated.

The steps to login to admin console should be done through access http://{Public IP}/wp-login.php to log in to the admin console.

I cannot seem to find the markdown for PrestaShop Quick start guide (https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-quick-start-guide-prestashop).

Within step 6 (configuring the SMTP) email, I would suggest placing a note there to navigate to the "Shop Parameter > Contacts and to adjust the contacts accordingly. Otherwise, email setup will always throw the following error: "Your domain example.com is not allowed in header 503-From" 503 Valid RCPT command must precede DATA"

I just set up my first WordPress site on Lightsail using the Quick Start Guide. I did not see any instructions on how to set up the SSL certificate for the site after step 4, mapping your domain to the site. I was able to find the instructions in the Bitnami documentation and they worked great. Could you please add a link to those instructions in the Quick Start Guide?

Thanks,
Michael

I think it would be nice to have translated documents on GitHub, too.
The version of the translated document can be viewed on the Lightsail documentation page, but not in this GitHub repository.
So, I wonder if you can display the translated documents on GitHub as well.

This page details using the WordPress MU Domain Mapping plugin

It is no pre-installed as suggested. Perhaps Wordpress has now found a solution?

Please advise.

Thanks

The lightsail instance seem to be running extremely old Intel Xeon CPU from 2015.
My instance seem to have CPU E5-2676 v3, which was released in 2015 and has poor single threaded performance compared to modern Intel CPU.

When will Lightsail be upgraded to modern CPU like the rest of EC2?

The menu/section options on these pages do not match any of the available ones in the current interface (2023).

We have a production MySQL database in AWS Lightsail Database Instance. We can see metrics about CPU usage, storage, etc, but can't see any memory data. Even inside database, performance_schema DB's all tables are strangely empty! Did u guys configured these DB instances not to store any performance data?
Then how can we see/analyze memory matric?
