Hi everyone,

First time for everything here (DigitalOcean, Laravel, Github, etc). Sorry in advance for my ignorance.

I have successfully been able to deploy the Marketplacekit app on my Ubuntu 16.04 LEMP droplet.

I have been using a combination of these great tutorials from DigitalOcean.

(1) How To Deploy a Laravel Application with Nginx on Ubuntu 16.04
(2) How To Install Linux, Nginx, MySQL, PHP (LEMP stack) in Ubuntu 16.04

I am currently trying to install Let's Encypt SSL certificates across my domain (Step 6 of tutorial (1)).

Originally after following step 6 I got these errors:

    include snippets/ssl-example.com.conf;
    include snippets/ssl-params.conf;

Another user had the same errors as the files did not exist using the tutorial method. So I tried to manually create the files using these steps.

It seems that the SSL is working properly, but now I am getting 404 Not Found error.

sudo nano /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com
is as follows:

server {
        listen 80;
        listen [::]:80;

        # SSL configuration
        #
        # listen 443 ssl default_server;
        # listen [::]:443 ssl default_server;
        #
        # Note: You should disable gzip for SSL traffic.
        # See: https://bugs.debian.org/773332
        #
        # Read up on ssl_ciphers to ensure a secure configuration.
