Hey @Falco, let me get into this conversation…

I’ve the same proble as @arothberg described. I am using a AWS Load Balancer with an Amazon Issued Certificate. When i was accessing my forum by [https://www.forum.com.br](https://www.forum.com.br) it worked fine, but when accessing by forum.com.br , as the default is http, not working.

I tried adding:

```plaintext
  - replace:
     filename: "/etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf"
     from: /server.+{/
     to: |
       server {
         listen 80;
         return 301 https://$$ENV_DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME$request_uri;
       }
       server {

```

But i received a Too Many Request error. I tried also:

```plaintext
  - replace:
     filename: "/etc/nginx/conf.d/discourse.conf"
     from: /server.+{/
     to: |
       server {
         listen 80;
         server_name forum.com.br www.forum.com.br;
         rewrite ^/(.*) https://$$ENV_DISCOURSE_HOSTNAME$request_uri permanent;
       }
       server {

```

But with no success…

Do you guys can help me? My forum is down..

Thanks in advance.
