Unable to connect to Airflow server running on EC2 - amazon-ec2

I am trying to set up an Apache Airflow server on ec2. I managed to get it running and verify status by hitting /health endpoint using curl on http://localhost:8989. Airflow listens on port 8989 here.
The next I want is to be able to connect to the admin dashboard/UI using the browser on EC2's public IP. So I added the inbound rule in the AWS security group ec2 instance belongs to.
While connecting to Airflow, I am getting the following error
Failed to connect to ec2-XX-XX-XXX-XXX.compute-1.amazonaws.com port 8989: Operation timed out
Not sure what else I need to do to reach server running on ec2.

If you can SSH to an EC2 instance, you've added a security group rule for ingress on another port, but can't reach the instance on that port, here are some other things to check:
Firewall running on the instance. Amazon Linux and recent official
Ubuntu AMIs shouldn't have iptables or some other firewall running on
them by default, but if you're using another AMI or someone else has
configured the EC2 instance, it's possible to have iptables/ufw or
some other firewall running. Check processes on your instance to make
sure you don't have a firewall.
Network ACL on the VPC subnet. The default ACL will permit
traffic on all ports. It's possible that the default has been changed
to allow traffic only on selected ports.
Multiple security groups assigned to the EC2 instance. It's possible
to assign more than one security group to the instance. Check to make
sure you don't have a rule in some other security group that's
blocking the port.

Port open for memcache in aws ec2 instance

Hi I'm running an aws ec2 instance with Drupal 6.
I plan on installing memcached on this server. One requirement is to open up port 11211 which is default port for memcached
I want to know in aws ec2 instance how to open incoming and outgoing traffic for port 11211? Do I need to open this port for incoming and outgoing traffic?
Secondly how do I secure the aws setup so only my ec2 can access 11211 port?
Thanks!
Is your Ec2 within a VPC ? or is it classic EC2 ?
You need to make open ports on security groups and Network acl's.
If you are new to AWS , you should first understand the NACL and Security group's and setup security in your environment.

Difference in telnet of amazon ec2 instance using internal and public IP

I have a 4 node hadoop cluster on ec2. We have configured Hortonworks Hadoop (HDP version 2.4) through Ambari.
I have opened all traffic for our all four instances internally and the office external IP.
Whenever I do telnet within the cluster using internal IP:
telnet <internal_ip> 2181
It is able to connect to the specific port I have my service(zookeeper) running on.
When I use public IP of the same instance(Elastic IP) instead of internal IP, I am not able to telnet either within the cluster or from my office IP:
telnet <elastic_ip> 2181
I have already configured security group to allow all traffic. I am using Ubuntu 14.04. We are not using any other firewall except AWS security group.
Please suggest how can I connect using Elastic IP/Public IP of my instance on this port.
Please find the screenshot of Security Group of EC2:
Do you use the default VPC ?
If not, check if the VPC has an Internet Gateway, the Route table (you need a route to the Internet Gateway) and the Networks ACLs.
The Route table and Network ACLs are applied to a subnet.
The default VPC is configured to allow outside traffic, not a new VPC.
Or, the Elastic IP is linked to the same network interface ? The Elastic IP is linked to a network interface of an instance.
EDIT: you can take a look on AWS doc for a better explanation:

I suddenly cannot connect to my EC2 instance. Why? How can I mitigate this?

I had a running instance, and then I became unable to connect to it via http(80) and ssh(22). I tried to reboot the instance, but nothing went up. This has happened to me twice in the past month.
Why does it happen? Can I do anything to fix and/or prevent it from happening?
If I launch a new instance in same region, and it works.
Things to check when trying to connect to an Amazon EC2 instance:
Security Group: Make sure the security group allows inbound access on the desired ports (eg 80, 22) for the appropriate IP address range (eg 0.0.0.0/0). This solves the majority of problems.
Public IP Address: Check that you're using the correct Public IP address for the instance. If the instance is stopped and started, it might receive a new Public IP address (depending on how it has been configured).
VPC Configuration: Accessing an EC2 instance that is launched inside a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) requires:
An Internet Gateway
A routing table connecting the subnet to the Internet Gateway
NACLs (Network ACLS) that permit through-traffic
If you are able to launch and connect to another instance in the same subnet, then the VPC configuration would appear to be correct.
The other thing to check would be the actual configuration of the operating system on the instance itself. Some software may be affecting the configuration so that the web server / ssh daemon is not working correctly. Of course, that is hard to determine without connecting to the instance.
If you are launching from a standard Amazon Linux AMI, ssh would work correctly anytime. The web server (port 80) would require installation and configuration of software on the instance, which is your responsibility to maintain.

Access to public IP - Amazon instance

I'm running some node services on an Amazon instance (EC2), the service were deployed using ssh over the instance, but for some reason, I can't access to the service using the public IP, but all the services are running. Is necessary enable the public IP in the configuration of my EC2 setting or something like that?
Make sure your security group has the proper ports opened up. In the EC2 console, go to Security Groups (on the left side of the page). Find the security group of the EC2 instance.
There is a tab called Inbound. Make sure you have a row with the type = SSH, protocol = TCP, port = 22, and source = 0.0.0.0/0

Connect to Amazon (AWS) EC2 instance via browser

I am having trouble connecting to an Amazon Elastic Cloud Computer Instance via a browser.
I attempted going to ********.compute-1.amazonaws.com , but the browser returns that the connection has timed out.
I can connect via ssh and winscp. That is how I uploaded a web app I developer. I have also created a security group and added rules to open ports 22 and 80.
Do I have to assign the security group to the instance somehow?
The security group's rules also do not have a source IP, well they do its 0.0.0.0/0
I would really appreciate any and all help in getting this site ' viewable ' via a browser.
By default, your instances will only be in the default security group. If it's an EC2 instance you cannot change security groups while the instance is running, you'll have to specify them in advance. If it's a VPC instance you can change security groups at runtime.
Add the rule to the default group
You can however add the rule to allow port 80 to that default security group; just don't create a new security group as it can not be associated with the running instance.
Is the web server up?
Also, make sure that your web server is up and running. From your instance (using SSH shell access), check if the right process is listening on port 80, using the command netstat -lnp. You should then see a row with proto tcp and a Local Address ending in :80. The IP Address listed should be either 0.0.0.0 (meaning 'any IP') or a specific IP of a listening network interface.
Web server not up
If you are in need of a web server, take a look at Apache or Nginx. They both support PHP.
Hope this helps.
I had also faced similar issue with ec2 micro instance. I was using Red-Hat AMI. Despite of opening ports 8081 in security group, I was not able to a telnet to the host port. Disabling the iptable did the trick for me:
sudo /etc/init.d/iptables stop
Do not forget to disable firewall if you use windows for your server.
I faced the same issue while setting up redash AMI image on AWS. Inbound security rules should be changed when instance is not running. Let's say if the instance is running (meaning it's active and started); If you change the inbound rules of that machine you'll still face firewall issue. So Stop the machine on which you want to change the inbound rules on. Change the inbound rules. Start the machine now. Now you can hit the machine url from the ip you just opened the access to the machine to.
The EC2 instance firewall is maybe enabled.
Check it with this command:
sudo systemctl status firewalld
if enabled you can disable it with :
sudo systemctl disable firewalld
or setup rules to allow port 80 trafic
