You'll want to make sure that you've setup a redirect for the www variant of your domain.
For example, if your domain is example.com, we'd use something such as:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name www.example.com;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com;
....
....
....
....
}
The first server block handles the redirection from www to your base domain. The second server block is where you main configuration would be.
www.example.com ends up in a google search now rather than attempting to redirect. However example dot com is now naked. So fixed one thing but broke another.
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name www.example.com;
return 301 http://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
root /var/www/example.com/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name example.com;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
http://$host$request_uri;
doesn't work, i had to use
return 301 http://example.com
Because right now, your suggested change results in The page isn’t redirecting properly
In some cases you may need to hard-code the redirect, as you have done, in others either $host or $server_name will work -- both are valid.
Since you're removing the www in this case, I'd keep the hard-coded redirect in place since using the others may not work as expected.
I've changed it to return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; which worked well, all my redirects for my domain and subdomain work now.
