Cannot Access Website Hosted in cPanel via Port 80

Hi guys & gals, I have a CentOS 6.6 running cPanel & WHM in AWS and for the life of me I cannot get to a demo website hosted within a cPanel account. It just won't let me access that domain over port 80. I've created a test site (wordpress), uploaded the files to the www folder, created the database, changed the wp-config.php file, but when I navigate to the site (either by domain name or IP) I get that the "connection attempt was rejected" - ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED. Here's some background info about my setup: [LIST]

cPanel and WHM run on AWS t1.micro instance (free tier)

Apache 2.2.29, PHP 5, WHM 11.46 build 12

WHM (port 2087) and cPanel (2083) can be accessed using valid wildcard SSL cert (GoDaddy)

FTP is working over port 21 or SFTP on port 22

MySQL is working, and I created a WordPress user and database

Within CentOS I checked ipTables and HTTP is present / accepting from anywhere

AWS security groups are allowing access to all necessary ports, 443, 80, 21, 22, 2083, 2087

DNS is with Amazon Route53, and the A Record resolves to the AWL instance Public / Elastic IP (48+ hours)

Within WHM i can validate my internal IP to the external IP

DNS (BIND) is running in WHM

There's one IP mapped to one NIC (eth0) shared by both WHM and cPanel

I'm still running the 15 day Trial cPanel

All services are up

The test domain (blog.example.com) and host (cpanel.example.com) are on the same domain. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Andrei
