How do I get port 80 to actually open on AWS ec2 instance?
I am trying to follow THIS tutorial to set up a LAMP on my ec2, with the eventual goal of setting up a WordPress blog on the instance. I've set the security group as follows: LINK TO PICTURE OF MY SECURITY GROUP INBOUND RULES
I've completed the setup via PuTTY and am SSHing into the instance just fine. I ran the chkconfig --list httpd command, which output httpd 0:off 1:off 2:on 3:on 4:on 5:on 6:off just like it should, and then I tried entering the public IPV4 address into my browser, it doesn't give me the apache test page, but rather this: image of port 80 not actually being open, after all
I am using the following AMI: amzn-ami-hvm-2018.03.0.20190611-x86_64-ebs
Help!
EDITvar/log/httpd/error.log doesn't exist, so checking it won't help.

I was able to fix this by adding the following to the user data in the instance settings: #!/bin/bash yum -y update yum install httpd php php-mysql -y cd /var/www/html echo "healthy" > healthy.html wget tar -xzf wordpress-5.1.1.tar.gz cp -r wordpress/* /var/www/html rm -rf wordpress rm -rf wordpress-5.1.1.tar.gz chmod -R 755 wp-content chown -R apache:apache wp-content wget mv htaccess.txt .htaccess chkconfig httpd on service httpd start
