I recently updated my configuration because I was missing a .com in all my redirects (whoops), so I updated my config file and ran sudo systemctl restart nginx, saw it was still redirecting to the bad domain, ran sudo reboot, and saw no changes still. I then waited over an hour for DNS to propagate in case that were the issue, but it wasn't.
Old config
server {
server_name domainA.com www.domainA.com
domainB.com www.domainB.com;
if ($host = www.domainB.com) {
return 301 https://domainA$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = domainB.com) {
return 301 https://domainA$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = www.domainA.com) {
return 301 https://domainA$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
location = /favicon.png { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /media {
alias /home/matt/project-dir/media;
}
location /static {
alias /home/matt/project-dir/static;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/domainB.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/domainB.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = www.domainB.com) {
return 301 https://domainA$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = domainB.com) {
return 301 https://domainA$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = www.domainA.com) {
return 301 https://domainA$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = domainA.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
server_name domainA.com www.domainA.com
domainB.com www.domainB.com;
listen 80;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
New config
Only difference: return 301 https://domainA$request_uri; → return 301 https://domainA.com$request_uri; repeated six times
server {
server_name domainA.com www.domainA.com
domainB.com www.domainB.com;
if ($host = www.domainB.com) {
return 301 https://domainA.com$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = domainB.com) {
return 301 https://domainA.com$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = www.domainA.com) {
return 301 https://domainA.com$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
location = /favicon.png { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /media {
alias /home/matt/project-dir/media;
}
location /static {
alias /home/matt/project-dir/static;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/run/gunicorn.sock;
}
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/domainB.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/domainB.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
ssl_dhparam /etc/letsencrypt/ssl-dhparams.pem; # managed by Certbot
}
server {
if ($host = www.domainB.com) {
return 301 https://domainA.com$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = domainB.com) {
return 301 https://domainA.com$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = www.domainA.com) {
return 301 https://domainA.com$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = domainA.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
server_name domainA.com www.domainA.com
domainB.com www.domainB.com;
listen 80;
return 404; # managed by Certbot
}
Are there any changes I can make that will actually be reflected?
Edit 1: Add /etc/nginx directory listing

lsin the /etc/nginx directory so we can see a list of all your config files. I've sometimes seen multiple inclusion files where you change one file, but it turns out that a completely different included file was the source of the problem.tree, but if you wantlsoptions like-aI can post that, too. I just thought it might be useful to include subdirectories, namelysites-availableandsites-enabled.
