title: Blank page after configuring ec2 instance and installing tomcat7
body: <p>I created a new AWS account and started a new tier 2 instance. So I did following things afterward : </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Created elastic IP and associated it with the instance. </li>
  <li>Configured the inbound security groups for http, https and custom TCP rule:8080</li>
  <li>Installed tomcat7 using "sudo yum install tomcat7" </li>
  <li>Started tomcat using "sudo service tomcat7 start"</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Finally, i tried to check the tomcat, by hitting <a href="http://elastic-ip:8080" rel="nofollow">http://elastic-ip:8080</a> from the browser but a blank page comes up.
  I guess this is a 404 error. Please help me which part have i missed.</p>
