A multi-node IFS Cloud remote-deployment cluster with a load balancer returns 'default backend - 404' when trying to open the landing page via the local hostname, even though pods appear to be deploying. Where should you check first?

Answer

Two configuration areas are the most common cause of this: the Load Balancer's routing/port configuration (per IFS's High Availability Load Balancer documentation, covering how traffic and ports need to be routed across the cluster nodes), and the main_config.json file's HA-specific settings — specifically that System URL, Linux Host, and the nodes array are all filled in correctly for a multi-node setup. A 'default backend - 404' at the landing page typically means traffic is reaching the load balancer but isn't being routed to a working backend, which points back to one of these two configuration areas rather than an application-level problem.
