and my API end point is http://vm-parma-003.cisco.com/httpbin/
But when I try to access this it gives me 404 error. Can you please help me to solve this

Hi, do you see any output in your logs?

Can you share your API settings?

Best.

Thanks for the reply,

Hi, looks like a DNS or port issue.

Can you share the output of:

curl -v http://vm-parma-003.cisco.com/httpbin/

And just in case (is the gateway running on 8081?):

curl -v http://vm-parma-003.cisco.com:8081/httpbin/

Best.

Hi Matias,
Thanks for the reply. I don’t think the problem is the DNS name as there are other application running on this server like Tomcat. Also I tried connecting to Apache httpd server and it was working. The issue is only with this Tyk Application. It will be great if I get some help on this.
Below are the output of curl.

[root@vm-parma-003 ~]# curl -v vm-parma-003.cisco.com/httpbin/

So you have other APIs working on the same gateway, on different listen paths?

Your API settings looks good.

No I am not able to set up any Tyk API.I was mentioning other application running on the server like web application within tomcat… I don’t see any errors also in the log. I am able to setup the API using dashboard successfully . But the issue is I am not able to get any response(gives) 404 error. I am stuck at this point and not able to proceed.

I understand. Do you see any request hitting your backend during the tests?
