'How to fix "503 Service Unavailable" error on Postman for server hosted on heroku
If I host this server locally, it works perfectly on Postman (and stores the data on MongoDB), however, once hosted on Heroku, it gives me a 503 error. Does anyone have any ideas about what to do?
I've heard from other's that it might be a CORS error. Not sure about the relation between CORS and Postman however. Here's my package.json, just in case:
{
"name": "login_server",
"version": "1.0.0",
"description": "",
"main": "server.js",
"scripts": {
"test": "echo \"Error: no test specified\" && exit 1"
},
"author": "",
"license": "ISC",
"dependencies": {
"bcrypt": "^5.0.1",
"cors": "^2.8.5",
"dotenv": "^16.0.0",
"express": "^4.18.1",
"mongoose": "^6.3.2",
"nodemon": "^2.0.16"
}
}
And, here's my server.js:
//mongodb
require('./config/db');
const app = require('express')();
const port = process.env.PORT || 3000;
// cors accesss to enable application on different hosts to send request
const cors = require("cors");
app.use(cors());
const UserRouter = require('./api/User');
// For accepting post form data
const bodyParser = require('express').json;
app.use(bodyParser());
app.use('/user', UserRouter);
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Server running on port ${port}`);
})
Thanks so much in advance. Cheers.
