I deployed a Liferay portal on Amazon EC2 windows instance how to access that on client browsers, as I am trying using public IP address but it is giving message it can't be reached.
In order:
Make sure the service is working (telnet locally on 127.0.0.1 8080)
Make sure your instance has a public IP address
Modify the local instance firewall to allow traffic on 8080 (or disable the local firewall)
4.Configure the instance's security group to allow traffic on 8080
If all of above conditions are met, then it MUST work :)
There Few Things Which You Can Check and I think Can be Issue for Windows EC2 Instance.
1) Allow Specific Port In Security Group in AWS .
2) Then You Must allow that port in Windows Firewall ( Create a Rule )

So i have created an EC2 instance in AWS and i have attached security group for this which has HTTP port 80 which comes by default .
I also has assigned public ip for this instance and which is working fine .
When i change port of my IIS serve to 8080 or 800 or anything page is not able to display .
Even i have changed to Custom TCP rule and given that port but still i am not able to access from outside of AWS .
I have tried accessing using DNS as well .
Can some one help me resolve this ..
To access any port of EC2 instance you must do below things:
On EC2 instance do not enable firewall, instead of this we have AWS service called Security Group which helps us to access respective instance ports as required.
Now, you must have a security group which has Http port 80 and ssh port 22 enabled (port 22 for secure shell), so now you can add port 8080 or any other ports in that list of inbound rules. I have attached screenshot below:
Now, try to access your ports from outside (you can put http://publicIP of ec2 instance:8080 in browser to check if port is accessable from outside), and check if its working fine. Also make sure to have openSSH on machine from where your'e going to access EC2 instance.
I have a AWS EC2 instance running and I am supposed to access the localhost URL of the instance. Whenever I try the localhost:port/index.html URL I get a server not responding error. I tried using the public IP of the instance instead, but that failed. I configured AWS by exposing the particular port number for the inbound traffic (IP : 0.0.0.0/0) that did not work either. How should I configure so that I can access the URL?
If a service is running at localhost:45984 on an EC2 instance, you cannot access that server from your browser on your local machine unless you employ port forwarding.
Here's a good article that explains the different concepts:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH/OpenSSH/PortForwarding
I believe what you want is local port forwarding, where you set up a tunnel so that you can access "localhost:45984" on your EC2 instance from some port you specify on your Mac.
I'm not a hardware guys, so I'm probably missing something simple, but I did the following:
Created a Windows VM.
Activated the web server role/IIS features (I can successfully serve a page via localhost when remote desktopped in).
Made sure outgoing port 80 wasn't blocked in Windows firewall.
Created a load balancer that pointed to the instance (to make enablement of SSL easier).
I then tried pulling up both the load balancer public DNS and the VM'w and neither of them pull up any web page. The Windows VM instance reports that it's running, but the load balancer reports that the VM is OutOfService trying to forward port 80.
What do I need to do to be able to serve my web site?
Open port 80 on the AWS security group assigned to your EC2 instance.
Open inbound access to port RDP in your security group.
This will make you to access the Windows server of your ec2-instance.
Edit the Security Group assigned to your EC2 instance and add a rule to allow port 80 in Inbound and outbount rules.
I am new to amazon web services and i want to access amazon windows instance from public-ip. I have created ec2 instance with windows server r2 2012 and add a load balancer to listen HTTP requests and also add a elastic ip to that instacne. It also has been assigned to a security group which has all-tcp, all-udp, http and HTTPS from anywhere(0.0.0.0). There is a carbon web server started as a windows service inside with (http://localhost:9443/). what i want is to access it from my web browser. i tried it with this public ip http://:9443/ but it is not accessible from browser. connection timed out,
Allowing All Traffic in EC2 Instance is not recommended.
I Suggest You Allow Specific Ports Only According to your Application Needs.
I think You have not allowed the Windows Firewall to allow traffic , Turning it off is not recommended.
Try to Create a Rule in Firewall that will allow you to Bypass the Port in the Windows Firewall.

I have followed the steps provided by Amazon EC2. I have installed a wordpress website in the EC2 Instance.
My public DNS is given as ec2-xx-xxx-xx-xxx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/
and Public IP is also given as xx-xxx-xx-xxx.
How to view the website from any other machine?
Note:
EC2 Instance is created and running now.
I can view it in the localhost as well as public DNS in the EC2 instance using RDP. (http://ec2-xx-xxx-xx-xxx.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/)
If you can see the web site from the EC2 instance, but not from other machines, there is probably one of the following things wrong:
The DNS entry is not available or is wrong. Since you can RDP using that entry, this can't be the cause.
Access to the correct port is being blocked by the security group or firewall. Since the instructions you referenced specifically say to make sure that both port 80 (HTTP) and 3389 (RDP) are open, and you know that is true from port 3389, this isn't likely, but is possible. Make sure that there are security group rules for both port numbers that look the same.
The Windows server itself is refusing to allow outside access to port 80 on that address. This is unlikely, but not impossible, and the instructions specify that you should "disable Internet Explorer Enhanced Security Configuration", and at the end cover "Making Your WordPress Site Public". Make sure that the web server isn't configured to only respond to requests from localhost (127.0.0.1) and that there are no Windows firewall rules blocking port 80.
I think that the likeliest problem is number 2, above. Perhaps you forgot to open port 80 in the security group, or typed a different port number or a different address range to open it to.
