Why isn't my EC2 Instance online after reboot?

Question

I rebooted my Amazon EC2 Linux Instance today, though Amazon's AWS website. Now if I go to my website Safari says it can't find the server, AWS says my IP has stayed the same. What is wrong here?

My website is jeffarries.com and my IP is 54.213.219.247

Thanks for your effort!

@mike Never mind, used sudo service httpd start and now it's working, do you want to post your comment as an answer?? Thanks sooooo much!!!! — Emmet Arries, Apr 07 '16 at 05:12

You should make httpd service to start automatically on system reboot to avoid such failures.

on Redhat/Fedora:

chkconfig --add httpd

On Ubuntu/Debian:

sudo update-rc.d apache2 defaults
