I'm trying to configure a WordPress site with SSL configured. I installed NGINX, PHP (7.4) and MySQL. So when I access the public IP of the server it loads the site successfully. We have set the DNS A record as well. Assume the URL is example.com and when I access example.com it loads the site successfully but not HTTPS secured. I created a new config file in sites-available and sites-enabled and added below content. I removed the config file in /etc/nginx.conf.d/ Content server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; listen 443 ssl default_server; listen [::]:443 ssl default_server; ssl on; root /var/www/html/example.com; index index.php index.html index.htm; ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot server_name example.com <ip-of-the-vm>; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; } location ~ \.php$ { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; } } I installed certbot and created the certs using: sudo certbot --nginx -d example.com -d www.example.com When I access example.com in the browser it loads the site but not secured. And also I see it redirects (It shows the public IP of the server in the URL/search bar in the browser. It is redirecting?) Modified NGINX config file. server { listen 80; server_name www.example.com example.com; return 301 https://$host$request_uri; } server { listen 443 ssl http2; server_name example.com; root /var/www/html/example.com; index index.php; # SSL parameters ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem; ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem; ssl_trusted_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/chain.pem; # log files access_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.access.log; error_log /var/log/nginx/example.com.error.log; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; } location ~ \.php$ { include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock; } }
