I had a MEAN site hosted on DigitalOcean, and now I moved it to an EC2 micro instance. I imported the database, set up PM2, copied all files and everything, and set up Nginx as a reverse proxy. No biggie.

When I "curl localhost", the site loads perfectly. But I can't connect to it from anywhere except localhost. For example, running "curl " on the old VPS gives a "connection timed out" error. And when I try to access the site in Chrome, it loads until a timeout error as well.

As you can imagine, I am confused. The following is my /etc/nginx/sites-available/default:

server {
listen 80;
server_name my-domain.com my-domain.com;
return 301 $server_name$request_uri; }

server {
listen 443 default_server;
ssl on;

server_name my-domain.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/nginx.key;

location / {
proxy_pass localhost:3000; proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}

}


Is there something I am missing here? Thanks again, just very new to AWS, and a bit confused.
