[SOLVED] Accessing nginx index.html on EC2

Issue

I'm trying to stand up an EC2 instance with elastic search using nginx as an front end node access point. I used this tutorial to set it up.

http://nginx.com/resources/admin-guide/setting-nginx-plus-environment-amazon-ec2/

According to it I should be able to "check it by pointing your web browser to the public DNS name of your newborn EC2 instance."

But when I go to the ec2 domain in a browser I get json of the cluster status.

I have an index.html that I've place in /var/www/index.html but I am unable to access it from a browser.

Solution

I am not sure what I did wrong but I used this example instead and it's all working ok.
