HTTPS and ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Developer help Installation

From documentation:

Enter the URL that is used to access your publication. If using a subpath, enter the full path, https://example.com/blog/ . If using SSL, always enter the URL with https:// .

My ghost config:

“url”: “https://site.ru/”,
“server”: {
“host”: “127.0.0.1”,
“port”: 8000
}

Nginx config:

location / {
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8000;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
}

And now on front-end always error: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS

Maybe in the ghost config should specify the http protocol?

fix: proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;

I’m having this issue as well but the X-Forwarded-Proto was already set correctly. Ports match nginx and ghost config… I’m starting to lose my mind.

I’m also getting this when hosting my domain with Route53 and siphoning requests through a CloudFront distribution.

I am having this issue in heroku, deployed using the following heroku button: GitHub - SNathJr/ghost-on-heroku: One-button Heroku deploy for the Ghost 3.2.0 blogging platform.. How can I fix this in heroku?

I had this issue because when adding a redirect from www to the naked domain I had incorrectly added a line redirecting from naked domain to naked domain in the file mywebsite.com.conf in /etc/nginx/sites-available when configuring SSL. This resulted in an infinite redirect loop.

Updating this and then confirming the config change with sudo nginx -t and reloading with sudo nginx -s reload resolved it. I am using cloudflare so I also switched off proxies, switch on development mode, purged the cache and even after clearing cookies and browser cache I wasn’t able to view the site only in incognito would it show again. I’ll wait a bit for it to show again in the browser but I’m fairly satisfied that this is now resolved.
