cant connect to my ec2 instance

Question

just created an ec2 instance and can ssh into it and everything but when i go to either its elastic ip or its public DNS url I cannot it returns a page saying "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to 23.23.205.241" I can also ping its public DNS but when i visit that url i also get a "Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to ec2-23-23-205-241.compute-1.amazonaws.com" message

I can successfully ping the ip address and get a response and i have the following security groups set up: 22 tcp 0.0.0.0/0
25 tcp 0.0.0.0/0
80 tcp 0.0.0.0/0
110 tcp 0.0.0.0/0
143 tcp 0.0.0.0/0
443 tcp 0.0.0.0/0
3306 tcp 0.0.0.0/0
8080 tcp 0.0.0.0/0
0-65535 udp 0.0.0.0/0
53 udp 0.0.0.0/0
-1 icmp 0.0.0.0/0

This instance is of type: Amazon Linux AMI 2012.09 64 bit.

I have just installed tomcat7 on it as well but i was unable to see my webpage before that installation.

Any help would be appreciated.

The Linux AMI does not include a web server by default, so you cannot see a web page at its address until you install and start a web server. You've done that with Tomcat now, and apparently you can now see the web page that Tomcat serves.
