Nginx Configuration

Look for something like this in the nginx.conf interface:

# FORGE CONFIG (DO NOT REMOVE!)
include forge-conf/00000000/server/*;

Ensure the following is included and update the redirect destination domain.

# Handle Let's Encrypt first and stop processing other blocks
location ^~ /.well-known/acme-challenge/ {
    allow all;
}

# Redirect (that won't affect Let's Encrypt)
location / {
    return 301 https://destination-domain.co.uk$request_uri;
}

# Security: Deny other hidden files
location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
    deny all;
}
