Install Magento on Amazon EC2 ( Error The requested URL /magento/ was not found on this server)

Question

I try to install Magento 1.9.1.0 community edition (I follow these steps : http://www.comtechies.com/2014/03/how-to-install-magento-on-amazon-ec2.html ) but when I try to connect a Magento I get this error : Not Found The requested URL /magento/ was not found on this server.

The folder /var/www/:

root@ip-168-30-60-81:/home/ubuntu# ls -l /var/www/
total 61208

 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1117975 Aug 30 09:35 composer.phar 
 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 29 18:46 html 
 drwxrwxr-x 13 ubuntu ubuntu 4096 Nov 5 2014 magento 
 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 23822215 Nov 21 2014 magento-1.9.1.0.tar.gz 
 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 Aug 29 19:15 phpmyadmin -> /usr/share/phpmyadmin 

The folder /var/www/html/ contains just index.html

• Fabian Schmengler: Please show your virtual host settings. If you did not change them and want to install Magento at /magento, you will have to move magento to html/magento. If you want to install Magento at /, delete html and rename magento to html instead
• Atika: @fschmengler Thank you, it works when I moved magento directory to html/magento
• paj: In magento did you set your base urls to "yourdomain.blah/magento" or in apache / htaccess your default directory should change to /var/www/magento

Answer 1

If you did not change the virtual host settings and want to install Magento at /magento, you will have to move magento to html/magento.

If you want to install Magento at /, delete html and rename magento to html instead.

Answer 2

I would first check few things:

• Is apache running? Go to your public ip and check.
• Do you see the folder magento on /var/www/ ? Usually I install magento on /var/www/html.
• Did you open the port 80?

• Atika: yes , Apache is running and I see the folder magento on /var/www/
