Https not working after trying to install SSL Cert

Posted on July 29, 2014

I followed the tutorial on installing an SSL Cert on Nginx (https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-create-a-ssl-certificate-on-nginx-for-ubuntu-12-04).

However when I try to access my https://domain.com, nothing loads up. Anyone know what I did wrong?

I can provide more details if need be.

Do you have any firewalling set up on your server? If so, you need to remember to open port 443. Your web server listens for https connections on that port. What’s the output of the following commands:

sudo iptables -L
sudo netstat -plunt

Yeah I restarted it. I also made a new virtual host, still no luck.
