I am trying to make an api request to my backend server but it is giving be pending/timeout error. Everything is working as expected in localhost but when I am using it in production it is not working. In production I am using my domain.

My client server is running on port 3000 and my backend node server is running on port 5000 and nginx at port 80

Here is my Nginx code for location /api

This will be my AXIOS URL :

The request should reach my backend server but I don’t know why it is not working.

What I tried?

I tried adding my application load balancer DNS to my proxy_pass something like this :

proxy_pass http://myCompanyDev-3345035.us-east-4.elb.amazonaws.com:5000;

also

proxy_pass http://myCompanyDev-3345035.us-east-4.elb.amazonaws.com;

but still it failed to work.

I thought there is something wrong with my AXIOS_URL so I added this

REACT_APP_AXIOS_URL = http://myCompanyDev-3345035.us-east-4.elb.amazonaws.com

again it failed…

Could really use some help here.
