EC2 Ubuntu: unable to access site from browser but able to access from EC2 Ubuntu terminal

Below is my virtual host setup

<VirtualHost *:80> ServerAdmin ******.com ServerName ***.***.com ServerAlias DocumentRoot /var/www/***.***.com/public_html <Directory /var/www/***.***.com > Options Indexes FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All Required all granted </Directory> </VirtualHost>

When I do curl from ec2 Ubuntu terminal, it is printing the hello world html. Working nicely.

Now When I access from a browser, it says This site can’t be reached

NOTE:

I have enabled my ***.***.com.conf.

permission also given.

sudo chown -R $USER:$USER /var/www/***.***.com/public_html

I have enabled port 80 to listen on 0.0.0.0. Also opened the port on security group as well.

netstat -nlp output

tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN -

Will you please help me figure out what I am missing?
