Nginx error 500 for wildcard over SSL

Question

My problem is: going to https://{www,whatever}.mysite.com I got error 500. going to http://mysite.com works fine

upstream my_server { server unix:/webapps/server/run/gunicorn.sock fail_timeout=0; } server { listen 80; server_name site.com www.site.com; return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; } server { listen 443; server_name site.com *.site.com; ssl on; ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/ssl.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/ssl.key; location / { proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for; proxy_set_header Host $http_host; proxy_redirect off; if (!-f $request_filename) { proxy_pass http://my_server; break; } } }

Please advise.

nothing - this is the most interesting... I only see get 500 in access.log — Przemek

change server_name site.com *.site.com;

to server_name .site.com;

according to nginx doc

Wildcard names

A special wildcard name in the form “.example.org” can be used to match both the exact name “example.org” and the wildcard name “*.example.org”.

it was worth a try, if you have no other logs sorry, i have no further idea. — Dennis Nolte

Sounds like the problem may be on your backend handling the extra domains.

Maybe hardcode the original domain, prior to passing the request to the backend?

 proxy_set_header Host site.com;
