Nginx too many redirects when redirecting http to https
Nginx too many redirects when redirecting http to https
I'm trying to redirect http to https. I use letsencrypt for ssl certificates. My config looks like this
server
listen 80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
return 301 https://example.com$request_uri;
server
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_session_timeout 5m;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
root /var/www/landing;
location /.well-known/
root /var/www/;
When I'm trying to access example.com, I get a browser error saying that there were too many redirects. The error occurs for both http://example.com and https://example.com, the server block is accessed when I go to http://www.example.com because I get redirected to https://example.com and then I get the error above.
How can I fix this?
I'm typing the url in the address bar of the browser and it works if I'm not doing the redirect so I think it doesn't have anything to do with the site content

without the redirect, your server listen to both port 80 for http requests and port 443 for https, there is no http url being redirect from port 80 to port 403, of course it "works"!

After I did wget -S https://wellcode.com I assumed that the problem was on the dns so in Cloudflare I changed SSL to full and the problem was solved
wget -S https://wellcode.com
