Cannot connect to ghost server on ec2 instance

I am following the basic Ghost server installation on an ec2 instance, so far I can run ghost server via npm start and I can see that ghost server is up and running:

Ghost is running... 
Listening on 127.0.0.1:2368 
Url configured as: http://54.187.25.187/ 
Ctrl+C to shut down

Here is the ghost config config.js:

// ### Development **(default)**
development: {
    // The url to use when providing links to the site, E.g. in RSS and email.
    url: 'http://54.187.25.187/',

    database: {
        client: 'sqlite3',
        connection: {
            filename: path.join(__dirname, '/content/data/ghost-dev.db')
        },
        debug: false
    },
    server: {
        // Host to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`
        host: '127.0.0.1',
        // Port to be passed to node's `net.Server#listen()`, for iisnode set this to `process.env.PORT`
        port: '2368'
    }

At the end, I cannot access to anything when I type http://54.187.25.187:2368 on the browser. I really appreciate guidelines on how to setup ghost properly.

EDIT: The problem is solved already, it was a EC2 SG issue that ports remained closed after I have set them to open.

For Amazon EC2 we have found you need to change the port to 0.0.0.0
