VistasHow to deploy react app with 2 different ports
I am trying to serve a build on my network with 2 ports.
1 for frontend which is localhost:3000 and 1 for server with localhost:3001
I currently have the build for my frontend, but the problem here is i wanted to access the localhost:3001
On localhost:3001 which is for development and not for deployment . As you can see in the image, I can communicate with localhost:3001
But when i try the **BUILD FRONTEND WITH 192.168.254.100:300 ** It can't find my server (port 3001)
EDIT
I'm successful on solving the first problem. But, another problem is i can't access the site on using a mobile phone without cors extension from chrome. And as well as the COOKIES ARE NOT SETTING in order to be authenticated.

This problems occurs due to the CORS policy. Basically, when you send a request from a URL that is different from your server URL, you'll be blocked. For example, if you communicate to your server using its own URL (localhost:3001), it works fine. However, if you do that from your frontend URL, CORS policy will block that. Therefore, in your server, you have to add Access-Control-Allow-Origin in your HTTP response. In Express, you can add the cors middleware.
First, go to your server folder and install cors:
npm i cors
In your entry point file of your server (server.js, index.js, or whatever), insert this line:
app.use(cors()); //This allow any websites to communicate to your server
If you want to only allow your frontend url to communicate and not others:
app.use(cors({ origin: "http://192.164.254.100:3000" })
app is of course from:
const app = express()
Restart the server and it should works fine.
