Vercel with AWS EC2 Elastic IP

[syongkheng]

Summary

Hello everyone,

I have a domain with Vercel i.e. domain.dev which serves my frontend. The project settings is linked to the frontend repository.

I have a separate backend server which is in NodeJS and the instance is running in AWS EC2. I am able to access the address and receive the following response:

I want to link the NodeJS server as a subdomain i.e. api.domain.dev, and have done the following:

(added A record with the IP pointing to the Elastic IP of the EC2 Instance).

However, when I tried to navigate to the page i.e. api.domain.dev, I encountered "The site can't be reached, api.domain.dev refused to connect". Removing the sub domain i.e. domain.dev shows that the frontend is still up and running.

I am unsure of how I can proceed from here, do I just have to wait it out for the DNS to be configured?

Thanks in advanced and any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Example

No response

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create EC2 Instance in AWS and assign elastic ip
2. Server is accessible through the IP
3. Added A record under DNS of my Vercel project
4. Accessing the subdomain results in the page refusing to connect
