    Hello,

    I want to redirect to www and htttps, would this code be correct to add to the config?

    Code:
    server {
    listen 80;
    server_name mydomain.com;
    # add ssl settings
    return 301 https://www.mydomain.com$request_uri;
    }
    When I add this i get this error when restarting nginx

    Code:
    nginx: [emerg] "location" directive is not allowed here in /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedhandler.conf:3

    I have https fixed so it always redirects to https, but I can not figure out how to make it so that the naked domain is redirected to www.

    default vhost has commented out example of how to do that just change $scheme to https
    Code:
    # redirect from non-www to www
    # uncomment, save file and restart Nginx to enable
    # if unsure use return 302 before using return 301
    server {
                listen   80;
                server_name newdomain.com;
                return 301 https://www.newdomain.com$request_uri;
           }
    
    server {
            listen 443 ssl spdy;
                server_name www.newdomain.com;
    
    # ngx_pagespeed & ngx_pagespeed handler
    #include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeed.conf;
    #include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedhandler.conf;
    #include /usr/local/nginx/conf/pagespeedstatslog.conf;
    
    rest of your normal nginx vhost below

    above example redirects in post 4, should only redirect from

    Code:
    http://test.net
    to

    Code:
    https://www.test.net
    there's no way it would redirect to your forum url by itself unless you are telling your site to do so via nginx vhost redirects.

    that is intentional, I don't even know why I created a forum folder when i have nothing else hosted on my site, I could have just put it in the home folder.

    So there is no way for it to redirect straight from

    test.net

    to

    https://www.test.net/forum/

    without going through all those redirect steps?

    You said that test.net should redirect straight to https://www.test.net but for me it goes through an extra step:

    test.net

    https://test.net

    https://www.test.net

    Is there any way to remove the redirect in the middle?

    you need a live domain for me to see what's going on and where are you viewing these redirects in browser ?

    You can try
    #nginx.conf
    Code:
    map $scheme:$host $redirect {
         #~^https:www.(.*)            1;    
         ~^http:(.*)             1;
                        default        0;                     
    }
