Can't figure out, how to redirect http to https, on an Nginx vhost

I've tried almost all, if not all, the results I could find, to implement a redirect from http://xyz.com to https://xyz.com, and all ended in failure, with an "Internal loop redirect error" message.

Any tips on how to achieve this redirect?

This is my actual configuration for the site:

• domain: xyz.com
• auto-subdomain: www.
• ssl: CHECK
• php: php-fpm
• redirect: SEO Redirect - www to non-www
• custom nginx directives

Code:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?/$request_uri;
    rewrite ^/(en|es|ro)/(.*)$ /$2 permanent;
}

Any help, would be much appreciated.

 

Try following.

Code:

server {
       listen         80;
       server_name    my.domain.com;
       return         301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
       listen         443 ssl;
       server_name    my.domain.com;

       [....]
}

 

That was the first thing I have tried, and it resulted in the same error.

 

Using apache2, this is how it's done with phpMyAdmin:

In apache2/conf-available, there is a symlink to the phpMyAdmin config file (/etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf). In apache2/conf-enabled (because phpMyAdmin is enabled), there is a symlink back into conf-available.
(This probably doesn't matter for your question, but I thought I would include it anyway for others.)

In the apache.conf file, it has, at the very top:

Code:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  <IfModule mod_ssl.c>
  <Location /phpmyadmin>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}
  </Location>
  </IfModule>
</IfModule>

So, it's not actually redirecting, but rather using a rewrite rule.
When I try to access phpMyAdmin using http, the request is converted to https.

I'm not using NGINX on my server, but hope this helps anyway.

Nap, why would you think that would help? I'm not using Apache.

 

One of the first things I tried, if not the first... and I still get internal loop redirection issue

 

I suspected a rewrite was needed and thought I would post how I've done it, in case NGINX was similar.

 

Thanks for trying to help Nap, but it's slightly different.

Til, I was aware of the www. but, it still doesn't work. Same issue. I just don't know where else to look... so confusing

 

Ok, I got the issue fixed.

It was because my Cloudflare SSL setting was set to Flexible SSL and I've changed it for Strict SSL and I've added this nginx rule to my domain:

Code:

if ($http_x_forwarded_proto = "http") {
            return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
        }
