Access Amazon EC2 via Public IP get timeout

Currently I just create an instance on Amazon EC2 and I can ssh to the server. I installed Apache2 server and it is up but when I try to access via its public ip, then the browser come with timeout error. I have no idea related to EC2 and your idea would be worthwhile for me.

Thanks

By default all traffics port are blocked for security reason. You need to add Inbound rules for allow http traffic(port 80) You can add inbound rules by following these steps: From EC2 Dashboard find "Security Groups" and then "Create Security Group" Add inbound rules aws ec2

Give a security group name and description and rules like shown in picture and then create security group. Now you can access your ec2 public IP from anywhere.

From EC2 Docs:

If you are unable to see the Apache test page, check that the security group you are using contains a rule to allow HTTP (port 80) traffic. For information about adding an HTTP rule to your security group, see Adding Rules to a Security Group.
