What I am trying to do is to have some clean redirects and don't make the content from the server available everywhere like is available via https://server-ip https://non-www and https://www-version
I see this are the 2 current redirects that exist:
server {
if ($host = vgopromo.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
if ($host = www.vgopromo.com) {
return 301 https://$host$request_uri;
} # managed by Certbot
now if I try to change return 301 with https://www.vgopromo.com $request_uri; is not working
Any idea how to configure this properly ?
P.S. I also have subdomains on the website like zh-hans. cs. tr. that seems to be working fine

NGINX CONFIG SUMMARY:
Below is a brief explanation of the configuration file:
The file starts with some comments and URLs that contain resources that can help in configuring the Nginx server.
The server block that starts with "server { ... }" is the default server configuration, which listens on port 80 (HTTP) and serves web pages from the "/var/www/html" directory. It also includes an error page configuration that serves static HTML files for 404, 500, 502, 503, and 504 errors.
The following set of directives handle caching rules for PHP pages:
The next location block handles requests to hidden files (e.g., ".htaccess") and denies access to them.
The second server block listens on port 80 (HTTP) and serves web pages from the "/var/www/html" directory. It includes a server name, "vgopromo.com" and "www.vgopromo.com", and it also includes an SSL configuration that is commented out.
Finally, there is a commented-out server block that could be used to set up a virtual host for "example.com".
