Hi Brad and All, Some more info (in case it gives you or anyone else any hints as to what I am doing wrong): If I start apache2, I can access the instance through http, so I guess it isn't with my security settings. I get: "It works! This is the default web page for this server. The web server software is running but no content has been added, yet." I am obviously missing the cloudman startup, but I'm not sure what step I skipped that does that part. I see on this page (http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Cloud/UserData) that I can specify in the userData.yaml an optional boot_script_name, but it is not clear that I should explicitly include that in the userdata when I launch the instance. Just to be safe I also tried accessing it with just galaxy2 security settings (not also including default). I can still access it by ssh, but no access to it via http. Again if I start apache2, I can access via http, but there is nothing running. If I try to connect via NX it also fails (details provided by NX below) Again, thanks so much for the help with this!

Thank you for the quick answer. Here is a screenshot of my security groups (I have 2 galaxy ones, because I've been trying various options, but neither seem to work). As far as I can tell it looks similar to yours (thanks for that, it makes it easier to check that I typed everything in OK). http://s1232.photobucket.com/albums/ff373/c_doherty/?action=view¤t=Screenshot-1.png
One difference is that I have been selecting BOTH default and galaxy2 security groups, maybe I should just select only galaxy2, I'll try that next.
Looking at it through my ssh, I think I may be missing an even bigger point because it does not seem like cloudman is running There is nothing in the /tmp file except for my userData.yaml (and it looks from various websites that I should have a tmp/cm dir) So maybe I missed a major step in the setup?
Thanks again for any advice! Colleen

Colleen;
I am having trouble setting up access to the galaxy cloud instance and may have missed something in the tutorial (I am following this one:http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Cloud)
I am able to launch the instance I can access it through ssh, but when I try to access it through firefox or chrome it just times out.
It does sound like something with the security group setting. Could you include a screenshot of what your security group looks like? As a reference, here is mine:

Did you also remember to select this security group, and not the default, when starting the image in the console? I sometimes make that mistake and then wonder for a while why I'm having connectivity issues.
Hope this helps, Brad
