Amazon ec2 Server Setup

	@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
	UPDATE:
	I used 'sudo tasksel install lamp-server' instead of 'sudo tasksel' (then selecting) to stop the SSH problems I've been having with ubuntu 12.04
	@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

	Create a amazon aws account (http://aws.amazon.com) and enter the AWS management dashboard (https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/home). Select the EC2 tab at the top of the dashboard.

	1) Create a Security Group that allows HTTP connections and limited SSH to configure the instance. Click on Security Groups > Create Security Group
