ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS agreestat.net redirected you too many times.

Hi,
I just set up SSL with my web app following the instructions provided in the document “https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-shiny-server-on-ubuntu-16-04.” But since doing it, I have been getting the error “ERRTOOMANY_REDIRECTS”. Would my NGINX file be the problem? In case it can help, here is my NGINX file:

server {
   listen 80 default_server;
   listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
   server_name agreestat.net www.agreestat.net;
   return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
   listen 443 ssl;
   server_name agreestat.net www.agreestat.net;
   ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
   ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
   ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
   ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
   ssl_ciphers AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH:!aNULL;

   location / {
       proxy_pass http://67.207.84.153:3838;
       proxy_redirect http://67.207.84.153:3838/ https://$host/;
       proxy_http_version 1.1;
       proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
       proxy_set_header Connection $connection_upgrade;
       proxy_read_timeout 20d;
   }
}

Hello, @gwet

Can you try modifying the port80 server block to:

server {
   listen 80;
   listen [::]:80;
   server_name agreestat.net www.agreestat.net;
   return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

Test the nginx config file for syntax errors:

nginx -t

If all is good, restart and try again.

Let me know how it goes.

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply. I was able to make it work on Microsoft Edge (it actually works fine there). But I am still experiencing problems with google chrome. Maybe it has something to do with chrome’s settings.

      If everything is working fine on Edge, then you can clear the browser’s history cache and clear the cookies. You can also open an incognito session in Chrome (Ctrl+Shift+N) and see how it works there. You can also open the site in third browser as well.

      Let me know how it goes.
