OK, this will sound dumb however before you start, make sure you have an instance of httpd (apache web server) running
#sudo apachectl status
is one way to check that. You can also replace "status" with "start" if "status" isn't configured in your mods. If it's already running, apachectl start gives you an "already loaded" error.

If the server is running, it has to be configured to listen to a port on a specific IP address, the default is port 80 on "localhost", if I recall.
Localhost isn't a public internet address, it's a local shortcut for unix pipes (mostly) so you can't browse a server that's monitoring the IP 'localhost' except from the server upon which the Apache instance resides (Where the address 'locahost' is actually...um...local).
The easiest test I can think of is secure shell to your web server and try
#curl -XGET localhost:80
If you get a response, your server is pointed at 'localhost', go into your httpd.conf and replace that with the public IP you're trying to listen on.
If you don't get a response... post back, we'll try something else.

Is port 80 open in the Security Group assigned to the instance?

Yup
If you see "<html>" in the response, you're talking to a web server (most likely).
To read the output, it looks like you already have a service using port 80 on your instance....

What else might you have installed that's providing a link to phpMyAdmin on your webserver?If you are able, from the instance, try to open a browser and point it at localhost port 80

telnet is a nice connection testing tool. can you connect to port 80 of the public address of your instance.

if that fails see post #3 by Habitual, above.

sorry for the late reply because of poor connection.

I already assign http port which is 80 to anywhere IP (0.0.0.0).
but my instance's IP still cannot response in browser.

Ooh, I wouldn't use 0.0.0.0/32 until after testing and host security has been evaluated.
Best assign your home IP there, unless it's dynamic?

This is a different question. Create a new thread for it.
