Waste of time not working

[@ihameed]

Check your AMI, if it's not amazon linux then it won't work, for example ubuntu Debian or suse, you can't easy connect

[@deepakisanshelar3737]

thnx a lot. I was facing this issue, and now it is resolved, after watching ur video. thanks again.

[@raremoments7122]

I am getting SSH connection failed each time i connect instance, i tried alot, but didn't work for me. I have added SSH 22 TCP inbound traffic rule in my security group. Also i have checked my subnet settings is same as yours. But could not find a way to get out of it. Still in a problem kindly reply me that would be helpful.

[@PuzzleVerse155]

We weren't able to connect to your instance. Common reasons for this include: SSM Agent isn't installed on the instance. You can install the agent on both Windows instances and Linux instances. The required IAM instance profile isn't attached to the instance. You can attach a profile using AWS Systems Manager Quick Setup. Session Manager setup is incomplete. For more information, see Session Manager Prerequisites. I am getting above error how solve it

[@sjzz]

Ok this one actually fixed the issue

Hello i have Problme code Phone numbers problme Envoyer un SMS (tape 4 sur 5) [ It might take up to 24 hours to fully activate your AWS services. If you cant access your services after that time ] am w8 for 48 Hours Noting activate

[@justinfleagle]

This still didn't work. I have no idea what the heck is going on. I can terminate the instance and then in the new instance ssh into it, but after like 10 minutes I can't ssh into it anymore.

[@clueless_experimenter]

Though I did try this. This fix didn't work out for me. But with the additional step of adding a subnet association to the route table did help (the illutration can be seen kzbin.info/www/bejne/bYPGopmrgKehnK8 )

[@toxicgamer8690]

you don't have a host with a matching configuration and sufficient capacity is a target the host resource group that can automatically allocate Host on your behalf of memory at a coin new account and then try again

[@OfficialInformationMedia]

or what you can do is delete the instance and create a new one with ssh instead of putty. putty allows connection via putty only. ssh allows connection without doing all this.

Hi sir am not able to run my instance in Linux server using git bash,, while run the ssh key in gitbash it showing me port 22: connection timed out like this am trying this thing from last one day till now i can't fix it please help me what to do

connection time out normally means host unreachable, check host is online and port is open in security groups or acl

Doesnt work at all btw

[@ihameed]

did you launch your EC2 instance in a custom VPC or private subnet? you may have to do some additional work to allow SSH

[@asioud]

@@ihameed Well I launched it through SSH in cmd prompt using "ssh -i test.pem ec2-user@myipaddress" and it worked I was connected, but I still cant connect it through EC2 Instance Connect

I have been on this issue for 6 days straight. Been frustrated with all the troubleshooting i've done so far which includes tons of youtube videos, troubleshooting articles from AWS, even contacted support and left comments on some youtube videos for help but no one could solve my problem. I was already at the option of creating another instance and manually installing lots of programs from the beginning until something in me asked me to give it one last try. What a number can do.... I mean, just the number "0" solved my 6 days of frustration. Thank you very much for the effort you put in getting this video out here. I appreciate a whole lot.

[@ihameed]

What do you mean by 0? Changed port?

[@chidikevincent3061]

@@ihameed I edited routes and added zero “0” just like you illustrated in the video. (The last route you added)

@@ihameed Hi! I am sorry i'm here again. I have been able to log in multiple times since resolving the issue but I tried logging in today and got stuck with an error message yet again. "We couldn't connect to the remote PC because the session couldn't be established in time." I don't know why this keeps happening but the only change that has occurred with my MacBook is that I shut the computer down yesterday and back on today. I am referring to my local computer and not the EC2 Instance. Please I need your help to gain access. Thank you.

[@ihameed]

@@chidikevincent3061 the only thing I can think of in this scenario is check the range of ip address you have allowed to connect from in your console.

[@immasud]

By-mistake I disable firewall (port) for my instances and after rebooting the instances , can't ssh to that instances This is my AWS instances Is there any option to solved this

[@ihameed]

Login to your aws console and manage firewall from there or if firewall installed on that vm then use easy connect from within aws console to connect and resolve

[@immasud]

@@ihameed Thanks for your reply I can't connect from aws console either Do I need to install firewall on that VM or it is by-default installed

[@ihameed]

@@immasud no you create a vpc and assign a security policy to that vpc, that security policy dictates which ports (like 22 for ssh) are open and then you are able to connect to that ec2 instance

This is only happening with ubuntu machine. Not with Amazon linux.

[@Nikhil-ni8yb]

Also I received an email that ibhave used 85% usage limit. Maybe that's why I am not able to connect

[@ihameed]

@@Nikhil-ni8yb yes Ubuntu if you are unable to ssh, use easy connect and update/patch Linux machine No usage simply telling you that you have used 85% of free quota since its only 17th of the month my guess is you are running more than one ec2 instance I would shut them down when not working/ learning aws as it will incur charges after 100% of free usage
