I cannot figure out why this error is happening: "rewrite or internal redirection cycle while internally redirecting to "/index.html"" in nginx.conf

The issue is related to your config
server { listen 0.0.0.0:80; root /open-ethereum-pool/www/dist; index index.html index.htm; server_name localhost; location /api { proxy_pass } location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; } } Change
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; to
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404; This will make sure that when even index.html in not there you get a 404 and not a internal redirection cycle
Currently what is happening is below when you browse /index.html
It becomes
try_files /index.html / /index.html; Now if /index.html doesn't exist then your fallback option (last parameter for try_file) is /index.html. This creates internal redirection cycle. So create the index.html file and the use try_files below way to avoid such issues
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html =404; Most of the time You would want to resort to a fancy 404 not just default nginx error page.
Change
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html; To
try_files $uri $uri/ /error.html; Obviously you will have to place this error.html in your root directory, or even
try_files $uri $uri/ /error404/error.html; In my case, I got that error because index.html file was missing at that root directory. After I added index.html file, it started working normally.
Please check this directory ;
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled (Debian dist.) there is file that named as default and this file linked to your website conf. even you change your nginx_conf this file be valid for nginx server
On my side the sites-available in path
/etc/nginx/sites-available/project-name
did not have a linked in file in the sites-enabled in path.
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/project-name
Creating this file on the sites-enabled by running the command fixed my issue
ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/project-name /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/project-name
