I created a simple web application on AWS ec2 ubuntu instance, but was unable to access the webpage by ip and port from other machines. The application binds on 0.0.0.0:80, and this port has been added into ufw allowing list. Within the aws control panel, I also added 80 to the rule lists.
Currently, I could access the port 22 by telnet ip 22 but no way to get responses from ping ipaddress, it shows request timeout. It also blocks on telnet ip 80 without any responses.
Any ideas? Really appreciate it
here are some troubleshooting tips.
Check if the web application is actually running
you can do this simply by doing a telnet ip 80 from the instance itself
disable the internal firewall
try disabling the firewall inside the instance, see whether it's working.
ping
In order for ping to work, enable ICMP protocol in your AWS security group

the Terminal just says:
ssh: connect to host xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx port 22: Connection timed out
Here are the firewall rules.
I can't ssh into the VM so I cant change the firewall rules on the VM
Please Help.
First, double-check your IP address: it must match your Oracle Virtual Cloud Public IP Address, assuming it is a reserved one (meaning it is a fixed one)
Second, check your local firewall: you cannot change the remote ones, but the local rules might still block your SSH traffic.
As mentioned here:
ust by opening the port through firewall and security lists will not allow new incoming connections. Ex: unless there is a service listening on port 443 (Tomcat etc), you will be unable to connect. Same with SSH daemon for port 22.
So make sure the SSH daemon is up and running.
Check also Default Security List
Unlike other security lists, the default security list comes with an initial set of stateful rules, which should in most cases be changed to only allow inbound traffic from authorized subnets relevant to the region that homes that VCN or subnet.
A list of authorized subnet ranges relevant to each region can be found here .
In particular:
Stateful ingress: Allow TCP traffic on destination port 22 (SSH) from authorized source IP addresses and any source port.
This rule makes it easy for you to create a new cloud network and public subnet, launch a Linux instance, and then immediately use SSH to connect to that instance without needing to write any security list rules yourself.
You can mount your machine drive to some other machine, edit sshd config and mount it back.
That helped me :D

I am trying to configure OpenVPN to my Amazon EC2 Ubuntu instance. I have opened up both TCP and UDP ports on both the load balancer and the VPC instance. I can connect if I open my putty session to the server and set a SSH tunnel on port 1194, and then connect OpenVPN on localhost 1194, but I am trying to figure out how to set my DNS entry so that I can just connect through the VPN using UDP without setting a SSH tunnel. Any advice? I have tried so many combinations and read everything I can find...
Ok, I finally worked it out. The cname has to match the actual address of the vpc directly, it cannot go through the load balancer and the aname matches the IP of the OpenVPN.
I have hosted web application (developed in PHP) on Amazon EC2 micro instance. As per default setting, i can access 80, 22, 443 and 3306 ports from remote locations means from Home(terminal window) using telnet command.
I want to open another custom TCP port XXXXX. I have added that port in Security Group. when i am trying to connect that port through telnet command it is always show "Connection refused".
I have been trying to solve this issue for 3 days but could not get successful solution.
Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Adding a port in security group (inbound) ensures that the port can be accessed from outside. Please check following
Is the port open for anywhere (0.0.0.0/0) or for a custom IP. If for custom IP, please check the IP of your machine (search 'what is my ip' on google).
Is there any application listening on the port on EC2 machine.
I have tried everything, I can get to my application using the ec2-x-x-x-x.compute-1.amazonaws.com, I cannot ping the address.
However, when I do ping the amazon DNS, it identifies with the IP address of but does not respond to ping.
When I put the IP address in the browser, it times out and gives me the Chrome "Oops", I have went through the Security vgroup several times.
I have checked the server, including the IPtables and the ports that Apache is listening to.
I don't have a lot of knowledge in this area, But I tried everything in the forum and more.
I even created another Elastic IP and associated it with the instance.
Please help.
By default, you cannot ping an EC2 instance, since it is blocked by the firewall (see why can't I ping my instance):
Ping uses ICMP ECHO, which by default is blocked by your firewall.
You'll need to grant ICMP access to your instances by updating the
firewall restrictions that are tied to your security group.
ec2-authorize default -P icmp -t -1:-1 -s 0.0.0.0/0
Check out the latest developer guide for details.
Section: Instance Addressing and Network Security -> Network Security
-> Examples
As for HTTP requests - your instance is available and looks fine (I suggest you remove the real DNS name from your post though)...
For ec2 best options is
1) open port 5060 and 10000-20000 udp on firewall(security group)
2) order and attach elastic IP.
3) in sip.conf add
externhost=elastic_ip_her
localnet=10.0.0.0/255.0.0.0
Every time you start/stop that instance attach same elastic IP.
For web access you also need open port 80 in security group
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
