This site can’t be reached Amazon Ec2

Question

I have created an instance on Amazon EC2 then installed whm and cpnel. I am able to access cpanel just by using my domain name ex. domainname.com/2083 but when i go to my domain mane ex. domainname.com it gives This site can’t be reached...

I am a bit confused if site wasn't pointed properly then it should not go to Cpanel either but since its able to access cpanel then why its not displaying the website.

I have already rechecked name servers and host name.

I was also facing the same issue. while creating the instance it automatically allows port number 22(for SSH connect). Then I follow the following guidelines and install the LAMP stack on my ubuntu 20.0 AMI.

However, you can go to the associated security group of the instance and allow both HTTP and HTTPS rules in the inbound-rules list. The final rule list should be as follow

But when I again check then it was not working. So I check the URL and it is actually prefixed with HTTPS(Hate part, Google Chrome start hiding the full URL).

As SSL is not installed on the server side so I just remove the HTTPS from the URL and it starts working as expected i.e http://ec2-X-XXX-XXX-XXX.us-east-2.compute.amazonaws.com or by using the Public IPv4 address but without HTTPS.
