@tom: the first place I'd look is your ec2 security groups
bhagany: localhost should works anyway
Today I have weird issue, my app was running but health-check was unhealthy
@tom: localhost may not work if your app is only listening on a single network interface, e.g. eth0 or if your app is running in a container. investigate which processes are listening on which ports with "sudo lsof -i"
@lowl4tency: you're right, of course
Funny thing is how redirects (say, from http to https) are considered an unhealthy app by the ELB health check.
First, I checked port is listened, second try to connect via telnet. third take a look on log-file
jaen: it's not funny, it's hurt
Well, yeah, "funny"
I've got ELB and S3 bucket with maintenance page, when ELB is not available I've got ssl error instead the page 😞
I had to to special it so that ELB's user agent doesn't get the redirect
Well, that's sad
