My ec2 ubuntu instance has apache2 working on port 80 and tomcat working on 8080. I'm not able to access them from my browser, i checked the access.log for apache2 it doesn't show the request coming in.

My checklist :

AWS Security Group , all traffic inbound and outbound enabled.
Service is running.
iptables has no rules initialized.
No errors thrown by either of the services.
access log for apache2

I've even tried to telnet to my apache2 server. enter image description here

The issue started when i added an .WAR package to tomcat

Similar: AWS ec2 - open port 8080 – kenorb May 30 '15 at 10:17
Can you ping it? Is your ssh works when using the same IP? – kenorb May 30 '15 at 10:20
@kenorb : Yes i can ping it. and my ssh works fine using the same IP – thecreator232 May 30 '15 at 10:21
Have you checked 80 or 8080 from different host, maybe it's your Windows firewall which doesn't allow you to connect to it? – kenorb May 30 '15 at 10:26
@kenorb : i checked, still getting the same issue. – thecreator232 May 30 '15 at 10:31
You could try if the issue is Tomcat specific, then run netcat (nc -lp 8888 -v) to listen on 8888, re-open this port with custom rule and check if that would work. Then re-test from other server, check your firewall sudo ufw status verbose, if still doesn't work, then disable your firewall (sudo service ufw stop) and re-try. If still doesn't work, maybe test different instance or contact Amazon Support that the added rule doesn't work properly. – kenorb May 30 '15 at 11:09
@kenorb : I checked again , even with the firewall down no request's are coming in. – thecreator232 May 30 '15 at 11:15
You tested with netcat (nc) on different port? Does it print anything with firewall disabled? – kenorb May 30 '15 at 11:17
@kenorb : yes i tested with netcat on different ports, its not printing anything – thecreator232 May 30 '15 at 11:20
@kenorb : solved the issue , just did a forced restart of the instance. Dont know the reason why , but seems to be an AWS issue. Thanks for the help. – thecreator232 Jun 01 '15 at 16:50
That's great you solved it. If you think it'd happen again, try reporting this as an issue to Amazon, maybe they've some problems. – kenorb Jun 01 '15 at 16:53
