Since multiple things could be going wrong, it's best to try and diagnose the issue by progressing incrementally. By default the firewall is disabled so unless you enabled it, that shouldn't be an issue which leaves the web server and the EC2 security groups.

Test the EC2 security groups first. Use netcat to listen on port 85 and then make sure you can connect to it remotely. If that doesn't work (and you don't have a firewall up) you know it's the EC2 group.

# make sure your iptables firewall is disabled
iptables --list 

# listen on port 85 with netcat
netcat --vvlp 85
