I just installed Monit on my server. I want to access to the web interface to manage it but the web is not accessible.

The machine is an instance in AWS, the port is open. I have tried many configurations:

set httpd port 2812
    use address localhost  
    allow localhost        
    allow admin:monit  

set httpd port 2812
    use address [instance-public-ip]  
    allow [instance-public-ip]        
    allow admin:monit

set httpd port 2812
    use address [instance-private-ip]  
    allow [instance-private-ip]        
    allow admin:monit

Not working with any of the above. If I do monit status with the internal IP, the output is:

System 'ip-172-[...]' status OK
monitoring status Monitored monitoring mode
active on reboot start load average
[0.00] [0.00] [0.00] cpu 0.5%us 0.4%sy 0.0%wa memory usage 143.1 MB [14.6%] swap usage 0 B [0.0%] uptime 1d 23h 25m boot time

I know I must be doing something wrong or missing something. Any help will be appreciated.

Your configuration denies access by IP address to everyone except, apparently, the IP addresses of your instance itself. If you intend to connect from a different IP address, you also need to allow it.
