Question
SSL but no HTTPS on subdomain
Hello. I have set up a droplet with Nginx, running both a Pleroma social media server at social.url.com and a Wordpress blog at blog.url.com. I have obtained SSL certificates for all subdomains via Let’s Encrypt / Certbot, and they are working - I can go to https://blog.url.com just fine, but when I go to blog.url.com it loads over HTTP instead of HTTPS.
Here is the current server block for the Wordpress blog:
server {
listen 80;
server_name blog.url.com;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_session_timeout 5m;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/blog.url.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/blog.url.com/privkey.pem;
server_name blog.ulr.com;
root /var/www/html/blog.url.com/public_html;
index index.php;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
location ~* \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_NAME $fastcgi_script_name;
}
}
HTTPS is working just fine on the Pleroma server at social.url.com.
What have I got wrong here? Like I said, HTTPS works if you force it in the browser, but if you just type blog.url.com it brings it up unencrypted by default.
Thank you for your time. I assure you, I have Googled myself blind finding half-answers and things completely unrelated to my situation. Nothing so far has worked.
