I have a log nodejs backend code here and it runs on port 8080.

process.env.PORT = 8080 in the environment varisbles.

var port = process.env.PORT;
app.listen(port, ()=> {
    console.log("Port is", port);
})

It connects to the databse as I see the output in the log file :

Port is 8080

I get an error in the log file with the following.

/var/log/nginx/error.log
----------------------------------------
connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: 777.77.7.777, server: , request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://111.1.1.1:8080/", host: "666.66.66.666"

Does anyone know why it errors? Should the host: be my elastic beanstalk url by any chance?

If you need any additinal info let me know!
