Unless you changed something on the gunicorn side, you almost certainly
want to use http, not https, to the socket.

So change the proxy_pass back to what it was.


The first tutorial you linked to does include some troubleshooting
tips. If you still have a problem, including the output from the nginx
parts of those will probably help the next person.

Good luck with it,
