Keep getting 500 error after enabling SSL
I spun off a new droplet & migrated the DNS. The website worked fine, went ahead and added SSL from Lets Encrypt following the steps here:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tools/nginx
Managed to successfully follow all the steps, but now my website keeps giving an HTTP 500 error ->
rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.nginx-debian.html", client: 49.207.200.121, server: www.epichiringcourse.com, request: "GET / HTTP/2.0", host: "www.epichiringcourse.com"
My conf file for the same:
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name www.epichiringcourse.com;
set $base /var/www/epichiringcourse.com;
root $base/public;
# SSL
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/epichiringcourse.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/epichiringcourse.com/privkey.pem;
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/epichiringcourse.com/chain.pem;
# security
include nginxconfig.io/security.conf;
# logging
error_log /var/log/nginx/epichiringcourse.com.error.log warn;
# index.html fallback
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.nginx-debian.html;
}
# additional config
include nginxconfig.io/general.conf;
# handle .php
location ~ \.php$ {
include nginxconfig.io/php_fastcgi.conf;
}
}
# non-www, subdomains redirect
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2;
server_name .epichiringcourse.com;
# SSL
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/epichiringcourse.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/epichiringcourse.com/privkey.pem;
ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/epichiringcourse.com/chain.pem;
return 301 https://www.epichiringcourse.com$request_uri;
}
# HTTP redirect
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name .epichiringcourse.com;
include nginxconfig.io/letsencrypt.conf;
location / {
return 301 https://www.epichiringcourse.com$request_uri;
}
}
I have also confirmed that var/www/html/index.nginx-debian.html exists!
Not sure, what I am missing.
