AWS EFS mount to EC2 Amazon linux

Question

Alright everyone, I have no idea what I am doing wrong here. I am setting up Apache on a linux EC2 instance on AWS. The install for APACHE was fine following these white papers posted by amazon

Apache Web Server

Once I get to step 3.C it hits a brick wall. I have also used the EFS mounting documents from Amazon with no luck also.

Mounting File System

Once I run:

sudo mount -t efs fs-#######:/ /var/www/html/efs-mount-point

the command line just hangs up, mount does not complete and eventually times out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Firstly would be to check the security groups. Is EFS allowing connections from the EC2 instance? https://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/accessing-fs-create-security-groups.html

Secondly, can you netcat the IP address of the EFS? e.g nc -vz EFS_IP 2049

Lastly, if you are using custom DNS in your VPC you will not be able to resolve it unless you are using DHCP forwarding in the VPC

Changed the security group to allow NFS open to everything. Still no luck – hittle08 Dec 13 '19 at 13:44
netcat was not a recognized command on this instance. – hittle08 Dec 13 '19 at 13:45
No custom DNS, just using the default – hittle08 Dec 13 '19 at 13:45
