Nginx: Redirect everything to http://example.com

Question

I would like to understand what the proper Nginx configuration is to redirect everything to http://example.com/ ... Namely:

Need to redirect to http://example.com/ automatically. How do I configure that?

This question is asked and answered literally every week or so. For https you'll need valid certificate, other than this it's 3-line config — Alexey Ten, Jan 23 '15 at 06:51

You can do something like this:

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.example.com;
    return 301 $scheme://example.com$request_uri;
}
server {
    listen   80;
    server_name example.com;
    <your other nginx settings>
}
server {
    listen 443;
    server_name www.example.com;
    return 301 $scheme://example.com$request_uri;
}
server {
    listen 443;
    server_name example.com;
    return 301 http://example.com$request_uri;
}

Your first server block is a redirect loop – Brian Bowles Jan 23 '15 at 18:51
The last line of the first block should look like this: `return 301 http://www.example.com$request_uri;` Thanks to @Brian Bowles for catching it. This is a winner otherwise. – λ Jonas Gorauskas Jan 25 '15 at 20:20
I also changed the third block to use this: `return 301 http://www.example.com$request_uri;` – λ Jonas Gorauskas Jan 25 '15 at 20:28
