XF 2.0 SSL Issues In NGINX

So I've started by getting XF 2 working on Nginx without SSL, all fine and dandy.

So I decide to switch, this being what is put in nginx

NGINX: 
http {

      server {


      listen 443 ssl;


        server_name frozenincarbonite.org;
        ssl_certificate /root/bundle.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /root/frozenincarbonite.org.key;

       location / {
          root /data/www;

          try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;





    }
}

I then attempt to run it, but I get this error

NGINX: 
500 Internal Server Error

I go to the nginx error log and I get this

NGINX: 
2018/07/11 12:18:55 [error] 4797#4797: *104647 rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.php", client: 109.151.59.135, server: frozenincarbonite.org, request: "GET /favicon.ico HTTP/1.1", host: "www.frozenincarbonite.org", referrer: "https://www.frozenincarbonite.org/"

Any clue? As this only seems to occur if I'm on HTTPS, HTTP works fine.

It would seem your OP is not your entire http and server conf blocks, I don't see anything within that would cause you error.

Lemmie drop the default configuration in, that seems to be effecting things as well

We need your entire configuration, from nginx.conf on down.

The snippet you posted in your first post isn't even functional. Are you actually loading that and not something else?

Can you do a nginx -t to see if it prints any errors?
And also nginx -V (capital) to see if it has the https/ssl modules running? It should have --with-http_ssl_module

That first snippet you have has valid blocks, but leads me to believe this is not the entire configuration (error and access logs are not defined, no ssl protocols defined, no includes for per site .conf files). Did you make this file yourself?

Ah no, that isn't my entire snippet.

Here's my entire one

http {

      server {


      listen 443 ssl;


        server_name frozenincarbonite.org;
        ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/bundle.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/frozenincarbonite.org.key;

       location / {
          root /data/www;

          try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;





    }
}

As for nginx -t, I get :
nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

and nginx -V

nginx -V

By "entire one" confirming it's your /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file?

This. Highly likely something within these files that are being loaded, and/or any includes they may contain, is causing your "rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting" error.

https://xenforo.com/community/threads/friendly-urls-with-nginx-throwing-404s.149908/post-1265455 is a similiar example of an incorrect config causing the same error message.

it is

Ok, nothing in the first folder.

The second folder loads the "default config", which I've linked above.

In that case, one or both of the includes above are your issue. What are their contents?

root /var/www/html/upload; seems unusual too. Does it exist, and have the correct permissions for the user nginx is running under?

All readable.

fastcgi-php.conf is

NGINX: 
# regex to split $uri to $fastcgi_script_name and $fastcgi_path
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;

# Check that the PHP script exists before passing it
try_files $fastcgi_script_name =404;

# Bypass the fact that try_files resets $fastcgi_path_info
# see: http://trac.nginx.org/nginx/ticket/321
set $path_info $fastcgi_path_info;
fastcgi_param PATH_INFO $path_info;

fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi.conf;

fastcgi_params is

NGINX: 
fastcgi_param  QUERY_STRING       $query_string;
fastcgi_param  REQUEST_METHOD     $request_method;
fastcgi_param  CONTENT_TYPE       $content_type;
fastcgi_param  CONTENT_LENGTH     $content_length;

fastcgi_param  SCRIPT_NAME        $fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_param  REQUEST_URI        $request_uri;
fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_URI       $document_uri;
fastcgi_param  DOCUMENT_ROOT      $document_root;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_PROTOCOL    $server_protocol;
fastcgi_param  REQUEST_SCHEME     $scheme;
fastcgi_param  HTTPS              $https if_not_empty;

fastcgi_param  GATEWAY_INTERFACE  CGI/1.1;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_SOFTWARE    nginx/$nginx_version;

fastcgi_param  REMOTE_ADDR        $remote_addr;
fastcgi_param  REMOTE_PORT        $remote_port;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_ADDR        $server_addr;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_PORT        $server_port;
fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;

# PHP only, required if PHP was built with --enable-force-cgi-redirect
fastcgi_param  REDIRECT_STATUS    200;

Looks ok, the only thing I have mixed feelings about is the root you declared inside the block for location /
I'm not an expert on nginx, but I think it has to be set outside that block, and in the server block, in this case:

Code: 
http {

      server {


      listen 443 ssl;
      root /data/www;
      server_name frozenincarbonite.org;
      ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/bundle.crt;
      ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/frozenincarbonite.org.key;

      location / {
          try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$uri&$args;
    }
}

Did that and it's still not working. :|

Gahhhh might end up switching to apache if this isn't fixed.
