# Failed redirect

 * Hi,
    I had this website set up yesterday (hosted on a Vultr server using nginx)
   in such a way that the www page would redirect to [https://makercommunity.org.au](https://makercommunity.org.au)
   fine. I was attempting to set up some Cron job services to work with civicrm 
   and today trying to get to the www version of the software redirects to a link
   of [https://https//makercommunity.org.au](https://https//makercommunity.org.au)
   I don’t believe or at least remember changing any urls as part of those Cron 
   attempts.
 * I am not sure what happened. Would I be able to fix this with a redirect or is
   there an easy way to find where that mistake was made?
 * Thank you for your help, I am very much a beginner in these matters.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffailed-redirect%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * There’s a missing colon in the rewrite directive after “https” —
    `https//makercommunity.
   org.au/` This causes browsers to try to get the IP address of “https” domain 
   from a nameserver, which of course fails. Another redirect will not help. Locate
   the original error at where you placed the original directive.
 * This is unrelated to cron directives. It’s probably an accidentally introduced
   typo from when you were reviewing the file. You may have accidentally saved the
   change without intending to.

 * Thank you bcworkz,
    would you have a suggestion on the best way to search for
   the location of this typo?

 * I’m not that familiar with nginx. AFAIK, the redirect should be within a server
   block in one of the files at /etc/nginx/sites-available/, the one that defines`
   www.makercommunity.org.au` as a hostname. There should be a rewrite or return
   line which contains the typo.
