  <p>when i restart the nginx server and type the address <a href="https://mytestsite.com" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://mytestsite.com</a> it says</p>
  
  <p><strong>The mytestsite.com page isn’t working
  mytestsite.com redirected you too many times.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I've tried clearing the cache and cookies but its still the same.</p>
  
  <p>can anyone tell me what is wrong with the conf file? 
  Thanks in advance.</p>
