Non-www redirect to www is not working on my server. Here is the following nginx configuration that I’m using. When I try on mobile or on a desktop browser it doesn’t connect and says webpage is unavailable. In mobile gives an DNS look-up failed.
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name example.ca;
return 301 https://www.example.ca$request_uri;
}
server {
server_name www.example.ca;
listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;
include snippets/ssl-www.example.ca.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;

Have you setup a DNS an A-record for non-www also known as @ ? And since you’re using HTTPS, then you might want to redirect non-www for HTTPS too. If your certificate allows the non-www of course. And then we want to redirect www to HTTPS as well.
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
server_name example.ca www.example.ca;
return 301 https://www.example.ca$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2 default_server;
listen [::]:443 ssl http2 default_server;
include snippets/ssl-www.example.ca.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
server_name example.ca;
return 301 https://www.example.ca$request_uri;
