title: AWS Linux Instance: Access JBoss Wildfly console
body: <p>I am trying to start a JBoss Wildfly Application server in AWS Linux. As you can see in the log given below, the application server is started and it is listening in port 8080.</p>

  <p>I got a descent response when I tried to <strong>curl</strong> to <strong><a href="http://localhost:8080/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost:8080/</a></strong> from the same machine.</p>

  <p>But while trying to access it from my laptop using the <strong>IPv4 Public IP</strong> it failed to connect throwing an error "<strong>refused to connect</strong>".</p>
  
  <p>Given below are my security group settings.</p>

  <p>Can anyone tell me what could be the possible reasons for this? Some people say that along with the security group settings, the firewall needs to be opened for this port too. But I am not sure how to do that as I am pretty new to AWS.</p>
  
  ####UPDATE
  
  <p>I started a Tomcate server on the same instance and it is accessible outsite.
  So is that something to do with the Wildfly?</p>
