Question
Unable to set HTTPS using LetsEncrypt in Nginx server
I followed the following tutorial to set https for my website:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-laravel-application-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-16-04
But, I got stuck at this place - Step 6 — Securing your Application with TLS
There are no ssl-*.conf in my snippets folder to match the lines in the above conf file for TLS. I did not see any other errors up to this point. I can view my site with Http, but not HTTPS. Please advise.
include snippets/ssl-example.com.conf;
include snippets/ssl-params.conf;
The following command:
$ sudo nginx -t
yields:
nginx: [emerg] open() "/etc/nginx/snippets/ssl-example.com.conf" failed (2: No such file or directory) in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/example.com:13
Yes, those files aren’t there. So, I guess the tutorial skipped the step that generated those files.
The following command:
$ ls /etc/nginx/snippets
yields:
fastcgi-php.conf
snakeoil.conf
Clearly the ssl-*.conf files are missing.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.
