Does the API connection indicator in the top right show that you are successfully connected?

Have you created the default tenant?

12/10/2020, 3:58 PMHi Michael, checked the API connection, it isn’t “Couldn’t connect to Prefect Server at http://localhost:4200/graphql”

Yep! So you’ll need to update the UI to point to the apollo deployment on your EC2 instance

If you go to the home page there be a tab that lets you set the api url

Yep!

Julio Venegas
12/10/2020, 4:02 PMOk, so what is there to change, I have not made any changes to the default
config.tomlz

The box where it says “Prefect Server GraphQL endpoint”

Julio Venegas
12/10/2020, 4:03 PMok ok, got it, let me try that out

When you’re using the UI, your browser is sending requests directly to the API (pretty standard modern javascript) so your browser is trying to hit the api at
localhost:4200/graphqlj

12/10/2020, 4:07 PMThanks! It’s odd, because as part of my initial user-data script for the instance, I changed the toml so that the actual EC2 instance host is set for graphql
Julio Venegas
12/10/2020, 4:07 PMwill destroy the instance and recreate it, I probably have an issue changing the config.toml at launch

Do you also update the
apollo_urlZanie
12/10/2020, 4:09 PM
Copy code
[server.ui]
host = "<http://localhost>"
port = "8080"
host_port = "8080"
endpoint = "${server.ui.host}:${server.ui.port}"
apollo_url = "<http://localhost:4200/graphql>"j
Julio Venegas
12/10/2020, 4:09 PMyep, exactly that line. Actually, I’m only changing that line.

12/10/2020, 4:15 PM@Zanie all good, I had a typo in user data script, it works now 😄
