force ssl for website

I am trying to force https for a site whenever someone goes to the http of the site.

I am running nginx, I also have ispconfig 3.0.5.1

I have tried:
return 301 https://www.mysite.com$request_uri;

however, that just goes into an endless loop

Thanks

 

Try this:

Code:

server {
       listen         *:80;
       server_name    yourdomain.com;
       rewrite        ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

server {

        listen *:443 ssl;
        ssl_certificate /var/www/clients/clientnumber/webnumber/ssl/yourdomain.com.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /var/www/clients/clientnumber/webnumber/ssl/yourdomain.com.key;

### the rest of your code
}

 

thanks that worked!!

 

Hi,

The above method is almost how I'd like to achieve HTTPS over HTTP. According to NGINX, It's best practise for NGINX to use:

Code:

return 301 https://$host$request_uri;

However, using this code or the above quoted method needs separate server blocks, correct? --Otherwise you will result with infinite loops.

How does one achieve this with the sites within ISPConfig 3.0.5.3 using the directives field?

Thank you.
