I have a t1.micro instance with public dns looks similar to

ec2-184-72-67-202.compute-1.amazonaws.com (some numbers changed)

On this machine, I am running a django app

$ sudo python manage.py runserver --settings=vlists.settings.dev
Validating models...

0 errors found
Django version 1.4.1, using settings 'vlists.settings.dev'
Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/

I have opened the port 8000 through AWS console enter image description here

Now when I hit the following in Chrome http://ec2-184-72-67-202.compute-1.amazonaws.com:8000, I get Oops! Google Chrome could not connect to

WHat is that I am doing wrong?
