Cant open ports in EC2 AWS

[DonFerretti]

I've created an EC2 intance on AWS but I cant open the ports needed to conect my ragnarok server.

 

I already edited the security group rules, but the ports still closed :/

 

 

 

Any help?

how did you check your ports, outside from network via telnet?

If AWS using OpenStack, in rare cases your situation can be happen with default security group.

You need to try to make new security group, add your rules (*aThena using TCP ports, not udp, and you need to allow / in out port).

Then remove default security group from your instance, and apply modified one.

 

But remember, it's only can be done if AWS using OpenStack, if not (i do not remember which technologies they are using) these recommendations above will not help to you. Try to ask support.

hello, i get my server working very easy on AWS with CENTOS setup, i am a linux admin and i find in my experience dealing with server and network setups, a few things, the first that comes to my mind is on what interface AWS runs the public ip, since they work with multiple network layers, i supposed that  the rathena server needs to run over the external ip, as if it only runs into the internal/local interface i will not access the server.

 

so what i do was: 

 

1 - setup an elastic ip for the server to get a fixed public ip (this is free unless you got the ip unassigned to a machine)

2 - modify char, map and login config files to run over that ip.

3- ensure that in the conf/packet_athena.conf are: enable_ip_rules: yes and  allow: all, or set it to no... to disable the ip config.

 

and always remember to set your ip rules into the Security Group you choose for the server.
