Question
Getting "Invalid Host header" when trying to deploy React app.

Asked by tathyagarg
I’m making a website with React.js, and built and deployed my app. Though the build and deployment were successful, opening the test domain does not render the website and instead just displays a message of “Invalid Host header”. Note: This is not a static page, as the javascript has to send some requests to my Python FastAPI backend.

Hey!
Even though the app would be making requests to a backend service, you should still deploy it as a static website. All of your JavaScript functionality will still be available.
