Can someone help me please?

You can try finding logs about the error you can get the logs here by accessing the System Console (either via the amazon web console or elasticfox) and check for any errors/messages that might help you arrive at the cause of this.

Rest you can also check for the internet connection and you can check for the configuration of your security groups. Mostly due to lack of permissions in security group this error is generated.

Hope this helps.

Downvote it, if you don't find it useful. But I honestly don't see anything wrong with the answer. Most of the times users come across this error when their security groups aren't configured correctly which is mentioned in the answer.
