title: Connecting to EC2 Django development Server
body: <p>I am new to EC2 and web development. Currently I have a Linux EC2 instance running, and have installed Django. I am creating a test project before I start on my real project and tried running a Django test server. </p>
  
  <p>This is my output in the shell:</p>
  
  <pre><code>python manage.py runserver ec2-###-##-##-##.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8000
  Validating models...
  
  0 errors found
  Django version 1.3, using settings 'testsite.settings'
  Development server is running at http://ec2-###-##-##-##.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8000/
  Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To test that it is wroking I have tried visiting: <code>ec2-###-##-##-##.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8000</code> but I always get a "Cannot connect" message from my browser.</p>
  
  <p>Whenever I do this lcoally on my computer however I do successfully get to the DJango development home page at 127.0.0.1:8000. Could someone help me figure out what I am doing wrong / might be missing when I am doing this on my EC2 instance as opposed to my own laptop?</p>
