return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
All is good. it is working perfectly. But I want to add another seperated server block and add a site siteE.com to that server block seperately. I made a directory /var/pm
and added index.php there. Below is the nginx setting for this new block.
server {
listen xx.xx.xx.xx:8080;
server_name siteE.com www.siteE.com;
root /var/pm;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location ~* .(woff|eot|ttf|svg|mp4|webm|jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico|css|js|mp3)$ {
expires 365d;
}
location ~* \.(pdf)$ {
expires 30d;
}
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args ;
}
location ~ /favicon.ico {
access_log off;
log_not_found off;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
}
access_log /var/log/nginx/$host-access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/pm-error.log;
}
Now I can access this new site by typing IP:port but I cant access it by typing siteE.com
it redirects to https://siteE.com which it should not. This domain was added through cloudflare. there is only an A record in cloudflare siteE points to xx.xx.xx.xx
(no port here), and the digitalocean>networking>domain has below settings
an A record: siteE.com to xx.xx.xx.xx
2 Cname record: *.siteE.com, www.siteE.com are alias of siteE.com
3 of Digitalocean NS added by default.

Hi @Sykat
Modify your siteE top configuration to this:
server {
listen 80;
server_name siteE.com www.siteE.com;
And restart Nginx with this command sudo service nginx restart
