Question

i have setup a nodejs and mysql stack on the same ec2 instance. Ive checked the connection to the server via the public ip dns from workbench on my workstation with no problems. I also ssh into the ec2 server from the terminal with no problem. I have two simple html pages (index and register page) and then a subfolder for the server file (server.js) to connect the database in MySQL. I tried to check if i can register a user on the registration page and redirect back to the home page, but i was unsuccessful i get an error (Not Found The requested URL was not found on this server.) then i added a virtualhost : GNU nano 6.2 /etc/apache2/sites-available/web-app.conf ServerName DocumentRoot /home/ubuntu/application ProxyPreserveHost On ProxyPass / http://localhost:3006/ ProxyPassReverse / http://localhost:3006/ ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/error.log CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/access.log combined and i tried to register a user and then i got the error: cannot get / i am simply trying to connect the frontend to mysql db on the same ubuntu ec2 instance. ----index.html----

Answer

Hello.

Are there any logs output to Apache's error logs or access logs that can help identify the cause?  
Also, it seems that you are proxying to "http://localhost:3006/", but is it possible to access it directly using curl command etc?
