I am running a frontend app using Vuejs and backend app with django. I am able to successfully serve both backend and frontend on the same ip using separate nginx server blocks i.e. each app is located at /etc/nginx/sites-available/frontend_app and /etc/nginx/sites-available/backend_app. Both apps are also enabled.
Visiting frontend_app.com and backend_app.com works fine however, whenever frontend_app.com tries to call the backend_app.com api, I get nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu) 404 Not Found error.
PS. The api call works on my localserver .i.e. calling http://127.0.0.1:000/api/path. On my production server, I change this (I think) to https://frontend.com/api/path
My questions are: is this a frontend error or nginx error? What am I doing wrong?

HI @alkadelik,
You should be able to add the configuration in one file rather than creating two. That way you should be able to call different things/folders when access different URLs with the
locationpart.Your backend app, on what port is it listening on? Is it 8080 or something else. You should be able to use the following
Based on the port, just change it in the server block.
