When you create an AMI from an instance, Amazon EC2 powers down the instance before creating the AMI to ensure that everything on the instance is stopped and in a consistent state during the creation process. If this is causing an issues you may want to manually shutdown the instance and create a snapshot that you then turn into an AMI.
The below link has details on how both turn a running instance into and AMI and how to turn a snapshot into an AMI.
