I'm trying to get a site secured with SSL, using nginx on Ubuntu 14.04.
Here's what my server block file looks like:
server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
listen [::]:443 ssl;
server_name www.example.com;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php;
location = /favicon.ico { log_not_found off; access_log off; }
location = /robots.txt { log_not_found off; access_log off; allow all; }
location ~* \.(css|gif|ico|jpeg|jpg|js|png)$ {
expires max;
log_not_found off;
}
location / {
#try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
#index index.php index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$is_args$args;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
location ~ /\.ht {
deny all;
}
location ~ /.well-known {
allow all;
}
}
The 3rd block is the "main" block which serves the www url with https (works fine). The 1st block redirects any http and non-www requests to the 3rd block (works fine).
The second block does not work. What I'm trying to achieve here is direct any https and non-www requests to the 3rd block, but attempting to access the site this way yields "example.com refused to connect" (different from what Chrome calls ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED in that no error is shown in the Network tab for the request and it's simply an empty request).
I've tried many things and I'm at a loss as to why this is the case.
Additional info: the nginx access logs show a 200/OK response when accessing the block 2 url (https without www), but the response is simply empty.
