In my EC2 instance, opensim didn't seem to like the long Amazon address. 
Nebadon Izumi of OSGrid was setting up an EC2 and helped me with mine, 
it was determined that using a dns service like webhop.org (or dyndns) 
solved the issue for the External Host name, and we used 0.0.0.0 for 
internal.

So if you get all your ducks in a row using that webhop or dyndns 
address in all places where it should be, that is Regions.ini, 
config-include/XxxXxxCommon.ini , OpenSim.ini plus the login URI in the 
viewer with the example syntax of http://blahblah.webhop.org:9000/

AND have TCP open for your http_listener port, plus UDP open for all 
region ports, you should be good to go.
