If you are running Ruby on Rails, there is a chance that the "config.force_ssl = true" value is set. That alone will force HTTP to redirect to HTTPS.
To solve this, navigate to your Ruby on Rails site cd /path/to/#{your_site}/current/config/environments and edit any file in there that is active (I did them all in my case since I am deliberately eliminating SSL from my Chef cookbook since SSL termination will occur at the load balancers. The particular line to search for will be like this: config.force_ssl = true Change that line to this: config.force_ssl = false Next, simply restart nginx to apply the change: service nginx restart -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GitLab" group.
