Can't View Apache Test Page Using Ubuntu Server AWS

Question

SOLUTION: I didn't open port 80 in the security groups. Once doing that everything worked.

I have an AWS instance running Ubuntu. I installed Apache and Ngix with the following commands:

 sudo apt install apache2 apache2-utils libapache2-mod-python libapache2-mod-php
sudo service apache2 stop
sudo apt install nginx
sudo service nginx stop
sudo service apache2 start

From my understanding, if I go to the public DNS of my AWS instance, I should be getting the Apache test page. However, it is just timing out. I viewed /var/www/html and the index.html page is there, along with another.html page.

Is there something else I need to do? Or configure in AWS?

Answer 1

Open AWS Management Console. Go to Network & Security, then Security Groups. Highlight the correct item, click Inbound on the bottom. Add HTTP on port 80.

Answer 2

You would definitely make sure port 80 is open and allowed.. open meaning your.network rules in aws, allowed meaning ubuntu can use it; sudo ufw allow 80 does it
