I have a front end reactjs being served by nginx. shown here:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
server_name website.* www.website.*;
root /home/developer/website/frontend/build;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.html;
}
location /api {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:4000;
}
}
Additionally, I have a second express app receiving requests at 127.0.0.1:4000. The front end calls fetch to 'api/something' and the express app receives that and handles it but does not respond, the client side errors with 504 (Gateway Time-out). Any ideas?
