I am running my own webserver with nginx on ubuntu 17.10. I have opened ports 80 and 443.

Trying to get the HTTP to HTTPS redirect working, but everthing i seem to have tried fails. i am still getting the 400 Bad Request The plain HTTP request was sent to HTTPS port error when i navigate directly to the http site.

Hoping someone can spot the issue in my nginx config file.

server {
listen 80;
listen [::]:80;
server_name example.com example.com; return 301 example.com$request_uri; }

server {
listen 443 ssl; # managed by Certbot
listen [::]:443 ssl http2; # managed by Certbot
server_name example.com example.com; ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/fullchain.pem; # managed by Certbot
ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/example.com/privkey.pem; # managed by Certbot
include /etc/letsencrypt/options-ssl-nginx.conf; # managed by Certbot
