Error while accessing tomcat installed in EC2

Question

i have installed tomcat 7 in an Ubuntu EC2 instance. It's up and running but I cannot access it using the public ip. I have also setup the security groups as specified in the previous posts. But, still no luck.

Any help on this would be really appreciated.

Answer 1

Make sure your Ubuntu Uncomplicated Firewall is controlling the traffic instead of IP tables.

sudo ufw enable

Then configure it to allow 8080.

sudo ufw allow 8080

It should work
