I have this simple redirect from '/' to '/home', handled by flask with
app.py
@app.route('/') #Redirects to home page
def redirect_home():
return redirect("/home")
When I use it with my browser it always leads a connection timeout error, althoug when using cURL on my vps (with -L) it does lead to the webpage correctly
I believe it has to do with my nginx setup: sites-available
location / {
proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5000;
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
}
I used to face this issue before on my old vps and I remember fixing it by adding something to the nginx configuration but I don't remember what it was

Try
@app.route('/', methods=['GET']) #Redirects to home page
def redirect_home():
return redirect("/home"), 301
Add the request error if not solved..
CodePudding user response:
The issue was solved by simply allowing HTTP traffic through nginx using the command:enter code here
ufw allow 'Nginx HTTP'
I am confused by how thats what fixed it but it really did work after that Although im not sure why it only afftected redirecting
