If your site is running properly in your machine, and if you have node/npm installed in your EC2 instance and you are not receiving any errors, looks like your project is running without issues.

So the problem can be that you are not connect to your site using HTTP.

Take a look on the security group attached with your instance to check if you allow users to connect on HTTP (80) or HTTPS (443).
