Unable to run Strongloop Loopback on Amazon ec2 instance from browser

I'm running Strongloop Loopback from Amazon ec2 instance. I've installed node and have setup a loopback application via the command line on my ec2 instance. I've also added a model. When I go to deploy arc "slc arc" I get this message "StrongLoop Arc is running here: http://localhost:42099/#/ NOTICE: Arc seems to have been launched from a remote connection. Depending on your network setup, Arc may not be accessible using the address above."

The documentation says that I should run it using my ec2 ip which I try like this: http://my-ip-here:42099/#/ no success. I also try this ec2-my-ip-here.us-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com:42099/#/ also no success.

I went into my security groups and made inbound rule "All traffic" Port range all. Still nothing.

I went into server/config.json and changed the ip from 0.0.0.0 to my ec2 ip to see if that would work and nothing also. I also tried running it and just testing explorer and it didn't work. Neither arc nor explorer. Any ideas?

Arc appears to be binding to localhost only by default. Try running it as HOST=0.0.0.0 slc arc and then hitting the displayed port on your instance IP like you have been trying.
