How can a single nginx virtual server deal with both port 80 and 443?

Question

I have a config file with a virtual server setup, this is running on port 443 for ssl. I would also like this same virtual server to handle non ssl traffic on port 80.

I was hoping to do the following but it doesn't seem to work.

server {     listen 443 ssl;     listen 80;     server_name example.com;     ... } 

It looks like the ssl options below these settings are causing problems for the non ssl traffic.

Answer 1

Yes, of course.

server {   listen 80;   listen 443 ssl;   # force https-redirects   if ($scheme = http) {     return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;   } } 

Here is my post, name "Nginx Configuration for HTTPS" which contains more info.

Answer 2

Remove ssl on; directive.

ssl flag in listen directive is exactly what you need.
