Having Trouble installing certs

[johnblood]

@Osiris

Is reverse-proxy.conf even in /sites-enabled/?

This is what I see :

root@192-53-160-247:/etc/nginx/sites-enabled# ls
reverse-proxy.conf

[Osiris]

That's weird, why wouldn't it pop up in the output earlier:

@johnblood

grep -Eri server_name /etc/nginx =

/etc/nginx/fastcgi.conf:fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;
/etc/nginx/scgi_params:scgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default:     server_name www.captainnemo.icu captainnemo.icu_;
/etc/nginx/sites-available/default:#    server_name example.com;
/etc/nginx/sites-available/reverse-proxy.conf:        server_name localhost;
/etc/nginx/fastcgi_params:fastcgi_param  SERVER_NAME        $server_name;
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:  # server_names_hash_bucket_size 64;
/etc/nginx/nginx.conf:  # server_name_in_redirect off;

Very weird.. Anyway, it still depends on what the configuration file does and if you want it enabled or not.

[johnblood]

Since /etc/nginx/sites-enabled only has that file, where do I put my url?

[Osiris]

@johnblood

where do I put my url

You mean your hostname(s)? I don't know, as I don't know the purpose nor contents of reverse-proxy.conf.

[johnblood]

@Osiris

You mean your hostname(s)?

Just trying to figure out how to get the cert working.

[Osiris]

The server_name www.captainnemo.icu captainnemo.icu; directive goes into the configuration file you want to enable SSL on. (And of course you want to listen to those hostnames.)

[johnblood]

Please explain like I'm 5. This is the first time I've worked with Nginx or certs. I need to know exactly what needs to go where.

[Osiris]

Change server_name localhost; to server_name www.captainnemo.icu captainnemo.icu; in reverse-proxy.conf, reload nginx and try installing the cert again.

[johnblood]

That worked.

Deploying certificate
Successfully deployed certificate for captainnemo.icu to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/reverse-proxy.conf
Successfully deployed certificate for www.captainnemo.icu to /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/reverse-proxy.conf

Thanks @Osiris

@Osiris

why wouldn't it pop up in the output earlier:

Because the grep searched through all folders - even the sites-available folder [which has that file that isn't being used]

As shown by the nginx -T output.

Because the grep searched through all folders - even the sites-available folder

If the file was in /sites-available/ and /sites-enabled/, then the grep output would show both, right? Even if it are symlinks?

I mean, I would have expected:

/etc/nginx/sites-available/reverse-proxy.conf:        server_name localhost;
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/reverse-proxy.conf:        server_name localhost;

Yeah, I missed the last few lines in that output, it was there.
