I have bought a domain example.com and am hosting it on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. To support HTTPS, I issued wildcard certificate from AWS certificate manager for *.example.com and assigned it to EB instance and ELB both. Since I bought the domain at Godaddy, I also added CNAME wildcard (*) DNS entry at Godaddy DNS and gave ELB AWS name in target value.
Doing so works for subdomains just fine and I can hit https anystring.example.com and go to index page of my EB environment. But the problem is that I cannot use https example.com (without subdomain) to go to the environment. It does not find the domain entry. And I do understand why, but not sure what to do to resolve it.
I tried adding a new CNAME entry:
Name: @
Value: ELB AWS Value
But Godaddy gave me error that the record is already present. I searched and found on SO that as long as some @ entry exists, I can't add another one.
I searched around more and did couple of more things to make progress:
1. I added a CNAME www entry and assigned ELB AWS name in target so now I can hit https www.example.com and go to env. index page.
2. I added a domain forward (forward @ to https www.example.com) so putting just example.com in URL works and forwards to https www.example.com
But I'm still not able to go to the index page using https example.com
Any advice?
