So i've had some problems getting SSL to work on my Nginx server. After some time trying and following tutorials i've finally got it to work.
Then when i wanted to access the hipchat server i got suprised with a message that says: "the page isn't redirecting properly".
When i look at the network tab in inspect elements i see the following.
Status code: 301 moved permanently.
Before i got SSL to work, the website worked. But after i got SSL working it keeps looping.
Here is the content of my .conf file that i've put in the /etc/nginx/sites-available folder.
# This is your Hipchat node's DNS name
upstream chat {
server hipchat.example.nl:80;
keepalive 32;
}
# HTTP to HTTPS redirection
server {
listen 80;
server_name hipchat.example.nl;
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
}
#
server {
listen 443;
server_name hipchat.example.nl;
ssl_certificate /example.com.chained.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /example.com.key;
ssl on;
ssl_session_cache builtin:1000 shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers HIGH:!aNULL:!eNULL:!EXPORT:!CAMELLIA:!DES:!MD5:!PSK:!RC4;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
location / {
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Connection "";
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
proxy_read_timeout 90;
proxy_pass http://chat;
}
}
This might just be a starters mistake since i've never done anything like this, but can someone help me with fixing this problem?`
edit:
So i've just come a little bit further (maybe). But now i cant seem to find the chat.
First i've changed my proxy pass to http://127.0.0.1:8095;
After that i have restarted nginx, then when i try to connect to the website i get access to a standard Atlassian Crowd page. Which is weird because i am supposed to go to hipchat, which works when i remove all references of SSL.

This is your Hipchat node's DNS name
It was basically fixed when i changed the proxy pass to localhost and changed my connector in Tomcat's config. Here you can read more about it if you need it guide
