So…I want to put the Web Server on one EC2 instance and the MySQL database on a separate EC2 instance. Which I can do, but how would I point the web server over to the other instance that I am using for MySQL?

You know Amazon do offer a specialized MySQL instance instead of standard instances, just gives backups, etc.
I’m not sure whether you mean how do you expose MySQL service as a port, or how to identify the database instance.
You can expose MYSQL on a machine port as service and access through telnet or SSH (usually SSH). The default is 3306, I believe.
To get the IP of the database instance, create and assign an elastic IP to the DB instance and use that.
