After SSL Conf. returning "welcome to nginx!" - django

Question

Nginx noob here, I did look through all previous posts but couldn't find anything specific to my situation.
I'm trying to install a commercial SSL certificate on nginx. After configuring etc/nginx/sites-available/myapp with the following:
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.come www.example.com;
rewrite ^/(.*) https://example.com/$1 permanent;
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location /static/ {
root /home/user/example.com;
}
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/djangodeploy/example.com/rex.sock;
}
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name example.com www.example.come;
ssl_certificate /home/user/example.com.chained.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /home/user/example.com.key;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GC$
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
}
After checking syntax everything is fine. The https works well, however instead of serving the actual website it just returns "Welcome to nginx!"
I've also configured the http directive in /etc/nginx/nginx.conf to include:
http {
ssl_certificate /home/user/example.com.chained.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /home/user/example.com.key;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2; # Dropping SSLv3, ref: $
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
I've heard gzip can cause problems, should I disable it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The HTTPS server block does not proxy to your application, so you will need to add the location / block to it, ending up with this:
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name example.com www.example.come;
ssl_certificate /home/user/example.com.chained.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /home/user/example.com.key;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GC$
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
location / {
include proxy_params;
proxy_pass http://unix:/home/djangodeploy/example.com/rex.sock;
}
}
