So for some reason I cannot access my Amazon EC2 server through a web browser, or ping. But, I can SSH into it with the Public DNS address given to me.

I used Nmap on it, and following are the results.

Starting Nmap 5.50 ( http://nmap.org ) at 2011-02-13 18:00 Central Standard Time    
NSE: Loaded 57 scripts for scanning.

Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking our ping probes, try -Pn
Nmap done: 1 IP address (0 hosts up) scanned in 6.71 seconds    
           Raw packets sent: 8 (304B) | Rcvd: 2 (80B)

How can I view my server's web host through a browser?

Running a port scan on your IP(50.16.96.100) SSH is the only port responding are you sure you have a webserver running , if your sure you have Apache installed then run

service httpd start

to see if it is offline.

It is online and enabled. Do you know how to open up ports from Amazon EC2? – Chiggins Feb 14 '11 at 0:14
What OS are you running? – Jacob Feb 14 '11 at 0:16
