Redirecting to SSL using nginx

Question

I have http:// and https:// on the same host like the following:

server {

    listen   80;
    listen   443 ssl;

    ...
    ...
}

What I need to do is redirecting users who access my shop to https://. The problem is I have many languages:

https://mydomain.com/en/shop https://mydomain.com/fr/shop etc...

I tried this and it didn't work (nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed):

if ($server_port = 80) {
    location (en|fr)/shop {
        rewrite ^ https://$host$request_uri permanent;
    }
}

Answer 1

It would also be more of an NGINX best practice to do a 301 redirect instead of using the if statement (see Server name on http://wiki.nginx.org/Pitfalls). I created a gist with an nginx.conf configured for SSL, Rails and Unicorn

Here would be the relevant section for yours.

server {
    listen      80;
    server_name domain.com;
    return 301  https://$host$request_uri;
}
