Setup Apache in Amazon AWS

I tried to setup apache 2.2 in amazon aws using amazon ami. i did installed httpd and php and congirue http.conf to use /var/www/html.

Then put file index.html on that folder. But when i tried to use browser to browse my domain which is ec2-122-248-255-181.ap-southeast-1.compute.amazonaws.com, nothing was loaded.

I did start httpd by running apachectl start, and i can see it listening on port 80.

Does anybody know what is wrong?

Solution 1:

Check that you are allowing traffic on port 80 in your EC2 security group.

Go to your EC2 dashboard and click on Security Groups. Select the Security Group that is attached to your instance. Check that there is a line that says

HTTP        tcp        80       80        0.0.0.0/0

If it exists then your problem lies elsewhere otherwise add the line using the select boxes.

Solution 2:

Might also be worth allowing HTTPS on port 443 as well:

HTTP        tcp        443       443        0.0.0.0/0
