Question
How do I get Nginx working for www version of my site
I have my Laravel app configured on Ubuntu 16.04.6 x64 with nginx and I keep getting a 404 page when you try load the site with the “www” prefix
It all works perfect at https://example.com, but https://www.example.com will cause a 404 error
I have A records setup for both the www.example.com and example.com pointing to the same IP address
Ideally I would like to redirect all https://www.example.com traffic to https://example.com
The nginx conf file is below, would appreciate some help debugging
I’ve tried adding a 301 redirect at the start and end of the file but it doesn’t seem to work
Interestingly I can access static files fine at www, it’s any of the laravel paths that seem to trigger a 404
server {
root /var/www/example.com/web/public;
