SSL only works without www

My SSL certificate works perfectly if my URL is site.com but not www.site.com. Why is this, and how can I fix it? When I configured my CSR and certificate, it said to use mysite.com as the domain, and not www.mysite.com, as it auto-configures www.

Here is my nginx configuration:

ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/bundle.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/myserver.key;
ssl_session_timeout 10m;
ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;
ssl_dhparam /etc/nginx/ssl/dhparams.pem;
ssl_protocols TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:DHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:DHE-DSS-AES128-GCM-SHA256:kEDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-$
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_stapling on;
ssl_stapling_verify on;



server {
    listen 80;
    listen 443 ssl;
    keepalive_timeout 70;
    access_log /var/www/mysite.com/logs/access.log;
    error_log /var/www/mysite.com/logs/error.log;
    root /var/www/mysite.com/public_html/mysite/public/_main;
    server_name www.mysite.com mysite.com;

    # HSTS - 6 months
    add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=15768000; includeSubDomains";
    resolver 192.0.2.1;

    location / {
            try_files $uri $uri.php?$query_string;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
            try_files $uri =404;
            include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_params;
            if ($uri !~ "^/assets/images/") {
                    fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php-fastcgi/php-fastcgi.socket;
            }
            fastcgi_index landing.php;
            fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

Usually, it's the opposite that is true. If you specify www.yoursite.com as the common name in your CSR, then the certificate will work with www.yoursite.com and yoursite.com.
