Domain Name Resolution with Amazon's Route 53

Domain Name Service of Amazon Web Services is know as Amazon Route 53. Its a great service to manage, domain names and load balancing on multiple servers. In this post, I am going how you can configure Route 53, so that your domain points to the EC2 instance you own. First of all you need to own a domain and have account on Amazon Web Services. Once you have these get ready to go for the configuration. Its not that hard to configure, but if you don't get it then you won't be able to have your domain resolved to your EC2 instance. 

First thing you need to do is open you Amazon Console and go to Route 53 Services. There you can create a hosted zone. And you'll get about 4 name server details, that you need to update in your domain registrar.The hosted zone should have your domain as example.com. And now click on the hosted zone and create record sets.
First record set should be an A record. For this name should be example.com and value should be the ip of your EC2 instance.
The Second is a CNAME record set, the name should be www.example.com and the value should be example.com. This makes sure you can access your website from example.com and www.example.com After a couple of minutes or some hours or days you will be able to access through example.com. Hope this helps you with Route 53.

Because when we select the file input field, the dialog that opens up is a system window which cannot be controlled by Selenium IDE. Therefore, clicking the input file field to select a file will not work. Also the selected file path is changed to C:\fakepath\filename.extension. So to fix this issue, we need to configure the browser to support file upload and then instead of clicking the input field we set the file using ‘type’ selenium command which is shown below. First, to support file upload in Selenium IDE, configure your browser to support file upload: Visit ‘...
