How to setup CodeIgniter with nginx allowing for SSL?

Question

My nginx.conf file has:

server { listen 80; listen 443; server_name www.mysite.com; #charset koi8-r; #access_log /var/log/nginx/host.access.log main; root /var/www/mysite/current; index index.html index.php; location ~* \.(ico|css|js|gif|jpe?g|png)(\?[0-9]+)?$ { expires max; log_not_found off; } location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php; } location ~* \.php$ { fastcgi_pass 127.0.0.1:9000; include fastcgi.conf; } } 

This works, except won't do SSL on port 443. Any idea why not?

Answer 1

You haven't set ssl_certificate or ssl_certificate_key, which I believe are required to actually use SSL. You can use self-signed certificates if you don't have one from a CA.
