How to redirect all https requests to https www subdomain with Nginx?
I have redirects for http to https working fine. But redirects from https to https does not work. Below is my nginx config file. I would think that the if condition would solve things, but it doesn’t. https://example.com gives the error refused to connect when it should redirect to https://www.example.com. How can I fix this? Note, the ssl cert I’m using does support both www.example.com and example.com. I followed the setup from https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-secure-nginx-with-let-s-encrypt-on-ubuntu-16-04 if that helps.
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;
include snippets/ssl-example.com.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
root /var/www/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name _;
if ($host = "example.com") {
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}
add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=63072000; includeSubdomains; preload";
location ~ /.well-known {
allow all;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
