Setting up SSL on Nginx

This article has the instructions for setting up an ssl website on nginx using Godaddy certificates.

(Text duplicated here for my sake)

1. Purchase a GoDaddy Turbo SSL (this was pretty straight forward – it could be a lot easier if they would stop upselling everything)
2. When downloading your certificate, choose the apache server (if you choose other, you will not get the GoDaddy cert in the download)
3. When you download the cert, you will have two certs – yours and one called ‘gd_intermediate_bundle.crt’.
4. Create a new file where you will combine the two certificates, I called mine ‘combined.crt’
5. Paste the contents of your certificate in the new file, then paste the contents of the GoDaddy certificate after yours.
6. Upload the combined cert to your server
7. Update your nginx.conf to use the combined certificate: ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/certs/combined.crt;
