Setup SSL on NGINX

Hi there,

Yes, it is possible to have two Nginx server blocks, one for port 80 and one for port 443 for the same domain name.

In the SSL Nginx server block, you need to make sure that you have the following details:

 listen 443;

 server_name your_domain.com www.your_domain.com;

 ssl on;
 ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/yourdomain-bundle.crt;
 ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/yourdomain.key;
    
    ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;

Then make sure that you’ve added your SSL private key and the certificate bundle to those files specified din the config accordingly.

Before restarting Nginx, make sure to run a config test with: nginx -t and if you get Syntax OK then proceed and restart the Nginx service.

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Bobby
