Access a MarkLogic Server instance

This section describes how to use the Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) URL to access an instance of MarkLogic Server in EC2. The ELB URL will direct you to any available instance of MarkLogic Server in your cluster. If you want to access a specific instance, as you would when running the mlcmd script described in Using the mlcmd Script, then use the Public DNS for that instance.

You can access the MarkLogic Admin Interface through the ELB by clicking on the URL in the Outputs portion of the Cloud Formation Console, as described in step 8 in Creating a CloudFormation Stack Using the AWS Console.

This section describes how to access MarkLogic Server through the ELB from the EC2 Dashboard.

1. In the EC2 Dashboard, click on Load Balancers .

2. Select a Load Balancer from the list and copy the URL from the DNS name.

You use the URL to access the MarkLogic Server. You can access any of the ports you have defined as an ELB port. For example, if the URL is DLEE-CF-L-ElasticL-OCCR192PW0OO-925510329.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com, then, to access MarkLogic port 8000, the URL you enter into the browser would be:

http://DLEE-CF-L-ElasticL-OCCR192PW0OO-925510329.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com:8000
