I am Daniel, online editor for art magazine in Hamburg, Germany. I am
setting up a river of art news. I have river2 running on an EC2,
following the EC2 for poets tutorial. The river runs nicely on the EC2
and I can access it through Remote Desktop.
Accessing it over the web does not work however. I get this error:
"Can't display the river because the request to the JSON server timed
out"
I've been working in that area for the last few days, so it's possible I broke something, and it's also possible there was a problem lurking in there. Let's figure out what's wrong and get you up and running.
I can see one problem right off the bat from doing a view-source on your river.

I can see you're using S3, and that's good, and that you've set it up to access it as a website.
A lot of stuff is working. It looks like the software is making a mistake. I'm going to run through the process myself, step by step, and probably do some rewriting of the tutorial. This is an area where it is quite weak.
So give me a little time, and we'll get this fixed.
BTW, my maternal grandmother was from Hamburg. :-)

Have a look and see how what I did compares with what you did in setting up your server to connect with S3.
Perhaps in seeing what I have done, with the screen shots I provided, you'll see something significantly different in your setup.
If not, I recommend throwing out this instance on EC2 and creating a new one. It takes very little time compared to the amount of time it takes to investigate. (I've already put a half hour into this myself.)

thanks for the reply, I'm travelling today and tomorrow, so I will
investigate on monday. Looking at your notes I did things differently
with the urls and paths for S3, so thats probably where things went
wrong. T
Thats also where I got confused in the EC for poets tutorial, notes on
that will follow as well.
