AWS EKS - cannot access apache httpd behind a LoadBalancer - apache

Question

I've deployed an apache httpd server in a container and am attempting to expose it externally via a LoadBalancer. Although I can log on to the local host and get the expected response (curl -X GET localhost) when I try and access the external URL exposed by the load balancer I get an Empty reply from server:
curl -X GET ad8d14ea0ba9611e8b2360afc35626a3-553331517.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com:5000
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
Any idea what I am missing - is there some kind of additional redirection going on that I'm unaware of?
The yaml is here:
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
name: apache
labels:
app: apache
spec:
replicas: 1

pod: apache

Answer 1

1.Check your pod running.
2.Check aws IAM and security group also may be 5000 port not open for public.Use curl command in kubernet master and check port.
3.Share a pod logs

Answer 2

check on your aws load balancer for open port of 5000 in security group for LB. as in bound rule.
check for inbound rule of load balancer.

Answer 3

If your pods are running on Fargate the load balancer service will not work: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/eks/latest/userguide/load-balancing.html
