I am super new to Nginx and CF and I have deployed my website to example.com and it is working perfectly and it redirects to https as well. But I want to redirect to www all the time. Right now if I type in example.com it doesn’t redirect to www.
This is one of the million solutions I tried where I added www.example.com in the return statement:
server {
if ($host = www.example.com) {
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = example.com) {
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
server_name example.com www.example.com;
listen 80;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
But it isn’t working. What is wrong here?
Here’s the full nginx config for the website:
server {
root /var/www/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
location / {
proxy_pass http://localhost:3000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $http_cf_connecting_ip;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $http_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
real_ip_header CF-Connecting-IP;
}
server {
if ($host = www.example.com) {
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = example.com) {
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
server_name example.com www.example.com;
listen 80;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
I have enabled Development Mode in CF, tried a million things, asked in Reddit, StackOverflow and ServerFault, none seems to be working. Someone please help me.
