This looks odd to me, I've never seen a rewrite in an ssl config. It
will complicate things.

Leave the index to the server config, and take out the location / rewrite.

Simplify.

Get the general app working, and then apply specialized rules for
directories and urls. Remember, if you have told nginx to do something
that it *can* do, the logs won't show much except that it's doing what
it's been told.
