[App Platform] Connect nodejs with static app

I have created app with frontend (angular) as static app, backend (nodeJs) as webservice and have created MySQL database and all attached to single app as multiple resources Now they are all together and both deployments are successful and running, but I’m unable to hit backend apis and getting 404 error.

on static app component - added environment variables as baseUrl : ${APP_URL}

I have added HTTP request ROUTES as /api, /auth for backend component what else am I missing? App url: https://ugpi-app-7jceo.ondigitalocean.app/

Hi there,

As far as I can tell your frontend is making the requests to /auth/student/login however your backend API expects the request to be: /student/login.

So when you make the POST request you get 404 with the following output:

<pre>Cannot POST /student/login</pre>

I believe that you just need to configure your backend service to use the correct endpoint: /auth/student/login rather than just /student/login.

Let me know how it goes!

UPDATE: Enabling Preserve path prefix resolved the issue.

Best,

Bobby
