Basic EC2 wildfly server connectivity from browser

I'm trying to access a wildfly server that I've installed on an RHEL image on Amazon EC2.

The instance is up and running.

I can connect to it through putty and I've uploaded (using pscp) and unpacked the server.

The wildfly server starts up with no warnings.

The next step is to be able to access the management console from a normal browser.

So I enter the public DNS followed by ":9990" to expect to see the wildfly management console, but no joy.

Also the security group for the instance I have set-up, I've added a rule to allow inbound http connections from any ip address.

if it matters I have 2 security groups, a default one and another which is associated with the instance.

The HTTP traffic is only for port 80. You have to add a custom TCP rule to the security group for port 9990.

Thanks for replying. I thought that that would work but it hasn't.

I think that this is something fairly simple (I'm just not getting it)

The public DNS from amazon is

ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.eu-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com

Open in new window

When I boot the wildfly server up, I get the message that

 Http management interface listening on http://127.0.0.1:9990/management

Open in new window

And this portrays my complete lack of knowledge about networks in general, but shouldn't the command entered into the browser somehow be constructed from the amazon public DNS and the IP address of the wildfly plus its port number?

So far I've only been entering

ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.eu-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:9990

Open in new window

and

ec2-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.eu-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com:9990/management

Open in new window
