AWS Linux (Ubuntu) hosted application is not accessible from public ip

Question

I hosted a nodejs(express hello world app) application on AWS Linux(Ubuntu 16.04) on free-tier. When i do wget http://localhost:8080 it runs successfully and saved the output in index.html file. But when i do the same thing with the public ip (wget http://35.154.40.189:8080) of my instance, it says

Connecting to 35.154.40.189:8080... failed: No route to host.

I also used the steps given in http://www.lauradhamilton.com/how-to-set-up-a-nodejs-web-server-on-amazon-ec2 to forward all ipv4 traffic to my application but it doesn't work.

I also enabled port 8080 from aws console.

netstat -atn says

netstate -ntlp says

I tried everything which i get on internet but unable to resolve the issue. Now i'm too much frustrated. Any help would be highly appreciable.

@Rogier: added screenshot for netstate -ntlp in the question. — Jitendra Pancholi, Dec 02 '16 at 07:05
is your node running with background like we do with nohup node index.js — Adiii, Dec 02 '16 at 07:06
one more thing... if your appache is also running then try to change the port dear and every instance have two ip private and public try to access with public — Adiii, Dec 02 '16 at 07:08
No, I have not installed anything other than node. I have created new aws instance to host node js application only. @Adil — Jitendra Pancholi, Dec 02 '16 at 07:10
my node application also running in AWS but the link you follow its has lot change — Adiii, Dec 02 '16 at 07:11
@JitendraPancholi why is it port 22 (ssh) is missing? You do have access, so any change you the group is not associated with the instance? — Roger, Dec 02 '16 at 07:14
dear @JitendraPancholi watch this video you will get every thing if its first time with node and AWS its cover every thing when i was setup all these setup — Adiii, Dec 02 '16 at 07:18
@Adil: Thanks man, you saved my life. :) I was installing node by command earlier which was creating some configuration issue. — Jitendra Pancholi, Dec 02 '16 at 10:22
@JitendraPancholi : You can try by Just uploading .zip file to aws ec2. after sign in to aws click this link https://console.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/home?region=us-east-1#/applications — Supraj V, Dec 02 '16 at 10:40
@JitendraPancholi thats glad to me dear ...okay let me post bro:) — Adiii, Dec 02 '16 at 11:11
@JitendraPancholi So after just reinstalling node.js it worked? without you making any code change? — AJS, Dec 02 '16 at 12:28
@AJS: It worked without making any change in code. I just reinstalled nodejs as said by Adil. — Jitendra Pancholi, Dec 05 '16 at 03:54

MAke Your Instance in AWS first
Enable inbound rule as u mention in picutre
Enable user group after ssh connection with AWS ubuntu instance
once instance start running then Install node properly
sudu apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev g++ make
download source code of node from web node.tar.gz wih command wget link https://nodejs.org/dist/v6.9.1/node-v6.9.1.tar.gz
tar -xvf node -v0.10.32.tar.gz
now goto node after unzip .gz
./configure && make && sudo make && sudo make install

boom your node server is ready on new AWS instances

Thanks a lot Adil. Earlier i was installing the node js by Ubuntu Package Manager "sudo apt-get install nodejs" which was the issue. – Jitendra Pancholi Dec 05 '16 at 03:53
Hey, I installed pm2 and npmbox on the server and now I can not access the application from outside. – Jitendra Pancholi Dec 13 '16 at 10:15
netstat -atn says tcp6 0 0 :::8080 :::* LISTEN – Jitendra Pancholi Dec 13 '16 at 10:15
i think something messed up in iptables. – Jitendra Pancholi Dec 13 '16 at 10:29
change the listening port or let me know further – Adiii Dec 13 '16 at 13:24
i did it but no luck. – Jitendra Pancholi Dec 14 '16 at 04:54
