I setup a letsencrypt SSL cert on a webserver running Nginx.
http to https redirect for both non-www and www work fine.
Going directly to https://www.example.com works.
https non-www does not work and the browser returns connection refused.
So:
http://example.com to https://www.example.com
http://www.example.com to https://www.example.com
work
https://example.com to https://www.example.com
does not work
my site conf is
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com www.example.com;
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name example.com;
#ssl certs locations etc.
return 301 https://www.example.com$request_uri;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl http2;
server_name www.example.com;
#ssl certs locations etc.
#rest of main block
}
The letsencrypt cert was created with the command (certbot-auto because the server is running an older linux distro):
certbot-auto certonly -n -a webroot --webroot-path=[path to webroot] -d example.com -d www.example.com --email [email protected] --agree-tos
Having looked at other similar questions, the nginx conf should work. It is my understanding that how I created the cert means that there is a cert for example.com and www.example.com.
When I load the website and view the cert both are listed under Subject Alternative Name.
