Not able to connect RoboMongo with Amazon instance

Question

I'm not able to connect RoboMongo with Amazon instance. Tried this http://blog.mongohq.com/robomongo-your-next-shell/

Opened inbound port in the instance. Still no Luck. Anyone have done this?

Edited:

After I press test or connect it goes on and seems it's trying to connect but after a while a message pops up saying unable to connect with mongodb.

Edit

by setting the host as 'localhost' worked.

From @Stennie

"Have you tried connecting via ssh with the same credentials? On the Robomongo Connection tab, have you set hostname to "localhost"? I would try logging in with ssh, then use the same details as the Connection tab to make sure this connects, eg: mongo localhost:27017."
