Concourse 5.0 Installation in AWS - concourse

Question

We have been trying to setup concourse 5.0.0 (we already set up 4.2.2) in our AWS. We have created two instances one is for web and another is for worker. We are able to see the site up and running but we are not able to run our pipeline. we checked the logs and noticed that worker throwing the below error.
Workerr.beacon.forward-conn.failed-to-dial","data":{"addr":"127.0.0.1:7777","error":"dial tcp 127.0.0.1:7777: connect: connection refused","network":"tcp","session":"9.1.4"}}
We are assuming worker is struggling to connect to web instance and wondering if this could be due to missing gdn configuration. Concourse 5.0.0 release included both concourse and gdn binaries. we want to try --garden-config file to see if that fixes the problem.
can somebody suggest how do we write garden config file ?

I had this same problem and solved it using #umamaheswararao-meka's answer. (Using ubuntu 18.04 on EC2)
Also had a problem with containers not being able to resolve domain names (https://github.com/docker/libnetwork/issues/2187). Here is the error message:
resource script '/opt/resource/check []' failed: exit status 1
stderr:
failed to ping registry: 2 error(s) occurred:
* ping https: Get https://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)
* ping http: Get http://registry-1.docker.io/v2/: net/http: request canceled while waiting for connection (Client.Timeout exceeded while awaiting headers)
What I did:
sudo apt-get install resolvconf -y
# These are cloudflare's DNS servers
sudo echo "nameserver 1.1.1.1" >> /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail
sudo echo "nameserver 1.0.0.1" >> /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail
sudo resolvconf -u
cat /etc/resolv.conf # just to make sure changes are in place
# restart concourse service
Containers make use of resolv.conf and as the file is generated dynamically on ubuntu 18.04 this was the easiest way of making containers inherit this configuration.
Also relevant snippets from man resolvconf
-u Just run the update scripts (if updating is enabled).
/etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail
File to be appended to the dynamically generated resolver configuration file. To append
nothing, make this an empty file. This file is a good place to put a resolver options
line if one is needed, e.g.,

it was the issue with gdn(garden binary) which was not configured. we had to include CONCOURSE_BIND_IP=xx.xx.x.x ( IP where your gdn is located) and CONCOURSE_BIND_PORT=7777( gdn's port) in wroker.env file. Which solved the problem for us.
