Hello - Having a bit of trouble setting up a permanent redirect from “www.getm15.com” to “getm15.com”. After following this article https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-create-temporary-and-permanent-redirects-with-apache-and-nginx I’m now getting this error “Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.”
Here’s the NGINX config file I edited in /etc/nginx/sites-available/default http://pastebin.com/esVxiEbu. My droplet is Ruby on Rails on Ubuntu 12.10 (Nginx + Unicorn). Any help would be much appreciated thanks.

Hello there, <br>in your second server block you need to specify a server_name: <br> <br>http://pastebin.com/Quv30UAa
Thanks Santiago, now the redirect is working but I’m getting an error I never had before “no implicit conversion of nil into String”. You can see it at http://getm15.com/. Any thoughts? <br> <br>I tried reinstalling pristine versions of my gem. Also tried adding: <br>ActionController::Base.config.relative_url_root = ‘’ <br> <br>to application.rb. Adding config.relative_url_root = “” to my Song controller also didn’t work
That’s an error with your app, it’s not related to nginx. <br><pre> {‘title’:‘<%= songscm.title %>’, ‘url’:‘<%= songscm.youtube_url %>’},</pre> <br>Either songscm.title or songscm.youtube_url (or both) is null apparently.
