Nodejs Loopback how to access api end points on live server?

I'm trying to deploy a Loopback project to live server, all works well on local. On server, after running node ., I get the console log of: Web server listening at: http://domainname:3000 Browse your REST API at http://domainname:3000/explorer

So it looks like the server is running.

Problem is that I get no response from the server. Neither from domain:3000 or /explorer or any endpoint I created.

Does anyone know what might be the issue?

Thank you very much

I had a similar problem when I was trying to deploy my code. Some of the possible solutions to the problem depending on where and how you are deploying it-

  1. Check if your security group allows connections on port 3000. AWS EC2 by default closes all ports except port 80. You might have to add an exception to your security group and allow port 3000 to be accessed from everywhere.

  2. If you are using a container, check if your container has the ports open and if the container port is accessible by the hardware hosting the container. On Azure, I faced this problem as Azure Web App Container Service by default only listens to port 80 and 8080. So I had to modify my code such that it can use the default NODE_ENV.PORT or 8080.
