Install SSL Namecheap for NGINX server

In case of Comodo certificates

• receive the zip archive with *.crt and *.ca-bundle files then extract it

• you will receive files:

  • youdomainname.crt

  • youdomainname.ca-bundle

• NGINX need all the certificates. You should combine theses 2 files. The *.crt should be list first, followed by (theo sau) the chain of CA certificates *.ca-bundle

• Note: CMD combine: $ cat yourdomainname.crt yourdomainname.ca-bundle >> cert_chain.crt

• Edit your nginx configure file like this one:

server {
listen 443;
ssl on;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/cert_chain.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/yourdomainnamekey.key;
}

• But from NGINX version 1.15.0 your nginx configure change like this one:

server {
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/cert_chain.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/yourdomainnamekey.key;
}

• Starting from Nginx 1.15.0 it is also possible to set up a single HTTP/HTTPS server:

server {

listen 80;
listen 443 ssl;
ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/cert_chain.crt;
ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/yourdomainnamekey.key;

}

• Reload & Restart NGINX: sudo service nginx restart for linux or brew services restart nginx for mac
