Can't access port 80, 443, 5432 from ec2 aws even though fully set up

Time:08-02

I am new to aws and created an EC2 instance to start migrating my source code from DigitalOcean. The problem is that I can't access any open ports on my EC2 other than port 22 through the ssh client. Here are some of my configurations. Do I need to restart ec2 to make these changes ? Thanks for the help.

  • EC2 inbound rule:
sgr-id  5432    TCP 0.0.0.0/0   launch-wizard-2
sgr-id  80  TCP 0.0.0.0/0   launch-wizard-2
sgr-id  22  TCP 0.0.0.0/0   launch-wizard-2
sgr-id  443 TCP 0.0.0.0/0   launch-wizard-2
  • EC2 outbound rule:
sgr-id  All All 0.0.0.0/0   launch-wizard-2
  • My EC2 instance:
$ sudo ufw status

AWS EC2 instances have a virtual firewall infront of each instance called a security group. See : https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-security-groups.html

A security group acts as a virtual firewall for your EC2 instances to control incoming and outgoing traffic. Inbound rules control the incoming traffic to your instance, and outbound rules control the outgoing traffic from your instance. When you launch an instance, you can specify one or more security groups. If you don't specify a security group, Amazon EC2 uses the default security group. You can add rules to each security group that allow traffic to or from its associated instances. You can modify the rules for a security group at any time. New and modified rules are automatically applied to all instances that are associated with the security group. When Amazon EC2 decides whether to allow traffic to reach an instance, it evaluates all of the rules from all of the security groups that are associated with the instance.

You need to check the security group on your instance and modify it to open ports for inbound traffic.

I realized that opening the port in ufw is not enough. There must be a service or application running on these ports to be able to access it. When i install postgresql my port 5432 is opened. Thanks for all the help!
