Answer 1

You need to check few things in your EC2 instance first

• First check that port 4200 or any port that you want to use for Angular is added in security group to accept the traffic.

• After allowing the port run ng serve with correct domain name or Public DNS shown in EC2 Instance for example

"ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com"

Hot Fix:

If you are getting this error with localhost:4200 you can try ng serve --host 0.0.0.0

To add specific port you can execute the command as follows: ng serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 4200

Hope this will fix your issue.
