I've been experimenting with EC2 for a couple days and have been banging my head against simply even being able to access the sample site I've hosted. The stack is Rails 3.1.3 with Thin and Nginx.
I've tried several different configurations and finally ended up running the Nginx auto install script, which does return a webpage when I do a curl http://ec2-107-20-143-179.compute-1.amazonaws.com/. However, when I point my browser there, it hangs forever before saying the page cannot be found.
I have assigned an Elastic IP address, and I've enabled HTTP access via port 80.
I don't much experience with the sysadmin side and I'm basically stumped at this point. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/ . Select an AMI and an instance type that supports IPv6, and choose Next: Configure Instance Details. On the Configure Instance Details page, for Network, select a VPC and for Subnet, select a subnet. For Auto-assign IPv6 IP, choose Enable.
Verify that your instance is ready Check your instance to make sure it is running and has passed its status checks. Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/ . In the navigation pane, choose Instances, and then select your instance.
For accessing internet from EC2 instance in public subnet using Internet Gateway, the instance needs to have public IP address. Either one can configure the instance to have public IP address or attach EIP.
Did you enable the http port to all ips? That would be done by going to:
EC2 -> Security Group -> Default (or your custome one) -> Inbound
And then Create a new rule for HTTP and as a source, you should assign: 0.0.0.0/0
That should do it.
