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)

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