title: Tomcat on Amazon EC2
body: <p>I have created a JSP / servlets application running in Tomcat 7.  It runs fine on my development machine, and I deployed it as a WAR file to my Windows Server Amazon EC2 instance after installing Tomcat.  I can access it locally (localhost:8080 etc) on the EC2 instance, but I cannot access it externally at all.  I've done the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Set up Elastic IP for the instance</li>
  <li>Open port 8080 in a Security Group</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I tried going directly to the root address (i.e. not my application url) and got a default IIS page.  So I disabled IIS, thinking it might be getting in Tomcat's way, but no dice.  I've searched around a fair bit, and everything I've found seems to amount to what I've already done.  Any suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>++++ EDIT ++++
  Never mind.  It was Windows firewall.  I can't close the question yet because I'm too new.</p>
