Express Server With MongoDB 404 Accessing API
I have an Express server to host a react build file/folder and create api routes for get and post requests. I have setup a mongodb service and a repo (the express + build) and have connected the mongohost, pass, etc variables in the repo service.
However, I recieve 404 errors when trying to access the API in my app/build
Request URL:
https://from-below-studio-react-production.up.railway.app/api/login
Request Method:
POST
Status Code:
404 Not Found
Here is my connection file for the db
if (process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production') {
const mongoUser = process.env.MONGOUSER;
const mongoPassword = process.env.MONGOPASSWORD;
const mongoHost = process.env.MONGOHOST;
const mongoPort = process.env.MONGOPORT;
connectionString =
mongodb://${mongoUser}:${mongoPassword}@${mongoHost}:${mongoPort};
} else {
connectionString = 'mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017/from-below';
}
in my server.js where db is the connection file above:
db.once("open", () => {
httpServer.listen(PORT, () => {});
});
I copied an express mongo template to poke around and saw the api looks like this
Request URL:
https://mongo-express-production-a41d.up.railway.app/db/admin/
