Https rewrite for subdirectory only

Server NGINX
1

Hi,

I’m a noob.

How to rewrite http to https in /admin location only ?

I put something like this in nginx.conf :
location /admin {
rewrite ^(.*) https://$server_name$1 permanent;
}

But I always get error message “The page isn’t redirecting properly” in
Firefox when I browse http://$server_name/admin

Thanks.

Best regards

Gunawan

…how about posting the full config file you’re using.

Attached is the nginx.conf file, no separtion between server 80 and
server
443.

If I make separation between server 80 and server 443, it’s ok.

Thanks.

That’s the problem.

Also it’s recommended to make separate block for http and https.

Here’s what happens:

  1. access http://$server_name/admin
  2. matches /admin { } block, nginx redirects to
    https://$server_name/admin
  3. matches /admin { } block, nginx redirects to
    https://$server_name/admin
  4. repeat for infinity

Firefox sanely stops following redirection when it detects such loop.

tip: use

rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri?$args permanent;

instead of

rewrite ^(.*) https://$server_name$1 permanent;
