I’m having trouble with my app’s URL, https://fairsprint-server-production.up.railway.app/

, which isn’t working as expected. It’s showing the error DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN, indicating that the domain is not resolving.

Here’s a brief overview of what I’ve done:

The app is deployed and running with the status "Starting Container" in the logs.

The logs show the following output after starting:

npm warn config production Use --omit=dev instead.

> server@1.0.0 start

> node server.js

rocket emoji Server + WebSocket running at http://localhost:8080

Environment: production

Please Help

I have the feeling this is a local DNS issue since i can reach your service. try the following depending on your system. after this try doing nslookup fairsprint-server-production.up.railway.app and let me know what the output is if it didnt fix the problem

  • Windows: Open Command Prompt as administrator and run ipconfig /flushdns.

  • macOS: Open Terminal and run sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder.

  • Linux: The command varies by distribution. Common commands include sudo systemd-resolve --flush-caches or sudo /etc/init.d/nscd restart.
