title: Setting up Nginx on a new micro-instance on AWS
body: <p>I'm trying to figure out how to set up Nginx on a micro-instance on AWS. </p>
  
  <p>The micro-instance is set up and running. I've associated an elastic IP to it. I SSH into it, make a new user run <code>apt-get upgrade</code>, then <code>apt-get install nginx</code>. Nginx gets installed. Then I run <code>sudo service nginx start</code>. It looks like nginx is started. I can see the workers as running processes. </p>
  
  <p>So I try to access the server through the public IP ie. elastic IP via my browser in hope of seeing the 'Welcome to Nginx' screen. But all I get is the message that the server can't be found.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm clueless on how to continue. </p>
