I am using Nginx as Reverse proxy and Apache is the HTTP server for my php application. I want to use all the request through HTTPS. please do advice how to setup this.
I want to force all the request through HTTPS
To redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS, add a new nginx server block that looks like this:
server {
listen 80;
server_name www.yourdomain.com yourdomain.com;
return 301 https://yourdomain.com$request_uri;
}
In order for that to work properly, your other server bock that does the reverse proxying must only listen on port 443/SSL. For example:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name www.yourdomain.com yourdomain.com;
ssl_certificate ...
}
Finally, reload nginx after making the changes to the config files:
sudo service nginx reload
