How to redirect http to https?

Regular Pleskian
Hi,
I have bought ssl certificate but if I open my site I think it is redirect to http because I dont see https. I use nginx like web server. Anyone can help me to redirect please? Tjanks
 
Hi Manuel_Caramia,

you have the choice to add additional webserver - settings directly over the Plesk - Control - Panel at: Websites & Domains > YOUR_DOMAIN.COM > Web Server Settings

For apache you could use:
Code: 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule (.*) https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI}

For nginx you could use:
Code: 
if ($scheme !~* ^https ){
rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

Hi, I have tried both settings but I receive this error:
ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS
I have error of loop.
How is it possible?
 
Hi

please redo your changes over the Plesk - Control - Panel for your nginx directive and save the settinsg without any additional nginx directives.

Afterwards, please make a copy of your current "nginx.conf" ( or "last_ip_default.conf", if this is the standard domain for your defined IP ) with the command:

mv /var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/conf/nginx.conf /var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/conf/nginx.conf.saved_for_backup​


To continue, open the file /var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/conf/nginx.conf and add the following lines after each of these definition:

error_log "/var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/logs/proxy_error_log";
​

Code: 
    if ($host ~* ^YOUR_DOMAIN.COM$) {
        rewrite ^(.*)$ https://YOUR_DOMAIN.COM.de$1 permanent;
    }

Save your edits and reload/restart nginx, please. Report any issues, please.

Hi, I have tried to add that lines after: error_log "/var etc" but with no success.
This is what I added:
if ($host ~* ^orderhosting.it$) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ https://orderhosting.it.de$1 permanent;
}
Thank you
 
Hi Manuel_Caramia,

for further investinations, please post your current "nginx.conf" ( or "last_ip_default.conf", if this is the standard domain for your defined IP ).

Hi Manuel_Caramia,

did you notice, that you defined for port 80 only http instead of the rewrite to https ?

if ($host ~* ^orderhosting.it$) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ http://www.orderhosting.it$1 permanent;
}
Click to expand...

Please be aware, that if you would like to have a rewrite to HTTPS, it is necessary, that you use the rewrite rule as well for port 80 and not only for port 443.

Please be sure to reload/restart your nginx as well, after your changes, because otherwise your changes never will be set, due to the case, that nginx didn't reload the configuration files. At the moment, your redirection in your configuration is defined as followed:

If any of the files for "orderhosting.it/*" is requested by a browser, then SSL should be redirected to "https://www.orderhosting.it", but afterwards you define for port 80, that all requested content should be redirected to "http://www.orderhosting.it" ( as you can see... NO https, so NO SSL! ).

Hi, I have pasted it without your configuration only to controll the correct configuration of nginx.conf.
Now in nginx.conf I added this strings:
if ($host ~* ^orderhosting.it$) {
rewrite ^(.*)$ https://orderhosting.it.de$1 permanent;
}
As you said and after error_log "/var/www/vhosts/system/YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/logs/proxy_error_log";
I have reloaded nginx but with no success.
Thank you.
 
Hi Manuel_Caramia,

sorry... but the suggestion is absolutely correct and will work, if you put the mentioned lines directly into "nginx.conf" ( or "last_ip_default.conf", if this is the standard domain for your defined IP ). Please contact your server administrator, or consider opening a support - ticket ( Parallels - Support ).
