nginx on vagrant keeps on dropping port - redirect

Question

so I have vagrant with port forwarding
here is vagrantfile
Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |v|
v.memory = 2048
v.cpus = 4
end
config.berkshelf.enabled = true
config.berkshelf.berksfile_path = "./Berksfile"
config.omnibus.chef_version = :latest
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 80, host: 8080
config.vm.network :forwarded_port, guest: 22, host: 2020
end
Here is nginx.conf
user www-data;
worker_processes 4;
error_log /var/log/nginx/error.log;
pid /var/run/nginx.pid;
events {
worker_connections 1024;
}
http {
include /etc/nginx/mime.types;
default_type application/octet-stream;
access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log;
sendfile on;
tcp_nopush on;
tcp_nodelay on;
keepalive_requests 100;
keepalive_timeout 65;
gzip on;
gzip_http_version 1.0;
gzip_comp_level 2;
gzip_proxied any;
gzip_vary off;
gzip_types text/plain text/css application/x-javascript text/xml application/xml application/rss+xml application/atom+xml text/javascript application/javascript application/json text/mathml;
gzip_min_length 1000;
gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.";
variables_hash_max_size 1024;
variables_hash_bucket_size 64;
server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
types_hash_max_size 2048;
types_hash_bucket_size 64;
include /etc/nginx/conf.d/*.conf;
include /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/*;
}
here is sites_enabled/default
server {
listen 80;
server_name precise64;
access_log /var/log/nginx/localhost.access.log;
root /vagrant/site/www/public;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
try_files $uri /index.php =404;
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
include fastcgi_params;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.1-fpm.sock;
fastcgi_index index.php;
}
}
The issue is that everytime I go to http://localhost:8080/somedirectory on my browser, nginx ends up redirecting (301) to http://localhost/somedirectory
If I access a specific file, it doesn't do the redirect as expected
why is that happening and how can I prevent nginx from dropping the port?

I don't see a redirect in your NGINX config so my guess is that it's coming from your PHP app.
