Just make sure you have a redirect block in nginx as in this answer https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/forge/ssl-letsencrypt-site-not-working-on-forge/replies/157767

SSL Working with Forge, but not redirecting from http to https
Hello, I have gotten the SSL to work with letsencrypt on Forge. But when I visit my site name in the url address bar: "example.com", it does not redirect to https://example.com. Instead it just shows a 404 error. I checked nginx -t, and there are no errors:
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful
If I go directly to https://example.com or https://www.example.com, it works fine. Any ideas?

Hmm, I tried adding that additional block, restarted nginx, still not working. Any other ideas?

Clear your caches

Unfortunately clearing the cache did not solve the issue.

Did you restart the nginx server?

I did indeed restart the nginx server.
