Setup https on nginx
I’ve tried following three or four tutorials, but I still can’t get my site to load with https. I bought a ssl certificate from namecheap and they gave me three files when I generated the ssl. A Key, A Certificate and the csr. I have saved each in
/root/example.com.crt
/root/example.com.key
/root/example.com.csr
Following along the tutorial found at https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-install-an-ssl-certificate-from-a-commercial-certificate-authority
I have rebuilt my /etc/nginx/sites-available/example.com file to be this:
#Redirect from 80
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
rewrite ^/(.*) https://example.com/$1 permanent;
}
server {
listen 443 ssl;
server_name example.com;
ssl_certificate /root/example.com.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /root/example.com.key;
ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
ssl_ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:AES256+EECDH:AES256+EDH';
root /var/www/html;
index index.html;
default_type "text/html";
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.html;
}
#redirect for api's to node server.
location /api {
# Serve api requests here. This will connect to your node
# process that is running on port 3001.
proxy_pass http://localhost:3001;
proxy_http_version 1.1;
proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
proxy_set_header Host $host;
proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
}
}
Before I tried to get this running on ssl everything was running fine. When I run sudo service nginx restart. Currently it restarts just fine.
I have changed /etc/nginx/sites-available/default to
server {
listen 443 ssl default_server;
root /var/www/html;
index index.html index.htm index.nginx-debian.html;
server_name _;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
}
}
Any thoughts?
