Redirect Woes, Too Many Redirects

pibby · August 1, 2018, 6:50pm

Hi sahsanu, thanks for your help! I’ve got the nginx directory available for download at https://milton.pibby.com/nginx-pibby.tar.gz

I don’t remember how I installed 1.15.2, I’ve been using that branch in apt for quite some time, though, ever since it started supporting http2.

I’m not getting the nginx: [warn] the "ssl" directive is deprecated, use the "listen ... ssl" warning because I commented out ssl on in all the config files.

All of my other domains are working fine except for pibby.com, my main site.

I removed it, but the redirect loop is still there.

Hi @pibby,

I’ve installed nginx mainline version 1.15.2 on Ubuntu, I’ve removed all the contents of /etc/nginx/ and I’ve copied all your conf, I’ve created the right paths to the certificates, some dh-param files, added entries on my /etc/hosts pointing your domains to 127.0.0.1 but I did change absolute nothing of your conf and I’m not able to reproduce your looping issue, it is working pretty fine from my side:

So I’ve no idea what is going on… could you please show the output of these commands (as root or using sudo)?.

netstat -ptan | grep -E '(:80 |:443 )'
ps -ef | grep [n]ginx

Cheers,

Hi @pibby,

Those outputs look fine, I see no reasons for the loop redirection. Maybe you should stop nginx, check that all nginx processes are stopped and start it again or simply restart the whole server, as I said I run out of ideas

Cheers,
sahsanu

pibby · August 2, 2018, 2:37pm

I rebooted and it’s working now!! shrug

Thanks for all your help!

sahsanu · August 2, 2018, 2:40pm

Glad this is working fine after a reboot I suppose nginx was not refreshing the conf properly
