I'm attempting to serve a static file using nginx over https.
Setup
DNS correctly points subdomain to AWS IP:
subdomain1.website.com -> correct IP
Working config
I've found the following simple server setup to be working completely correctly. However when I modify it to forward to https, it fails without error.
# /etc/nginx/sites-available/default
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server ipv6only=on;
server_name subdomain1.website.com;
root /usr/share/nginx/temp-content;
index index.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
Attempting to redirect to https

return 301 https://$server$request_uri;
}
I'm completely lost as to why this is failing. Nginx just return's 301 and error.log
has no relevant logs.

Edit: Just want to include that the permissions on the files served from /usr/share/nginx/temp-content
are identical to the (working) files in /usr/share/nginx/html
.
