Using Django, switched from heroku + gunicorn to digitalocean + nginx + gunicorn, site now broken -

i had django app on heroku while no problems. want move digital ocean droplet, partly learning exercise, partly scalability (and cost) reasons.

after next this first-class tutorial letter, app working huge gotcha: infinite redirect loop when seek log in admin site. first request post ?next=/admin/ username , password, gets 302 response redirect /admin/, gets 302 response redirect ?next=/admin/, , on.

i have spent 2 or 3 hours google , various nginx tutorials , first time "google error message, re-create , paste random code snippets, repeat" algorithm has ever failed me, i'm hoping reason error trivial solve , can't see it?

if it's not trivial solve, allow me know , i'll post more info.

thanks in advance

edit 1: nginx config file app verbatim re-create of tutorial. looks this:
