Hello nginx people.
I want to use nginx to serve https for my site.
I followed directions given by godaddy to generate a csr file.
I gave $25 and the csr file to godaddy.
They gave me 2 files:
gd_bundle.crt
toadfrog.com.crt
I am curious about what to do with these files.
How do I declare that I want my /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file to use
these 2 crt files?
Also I used a file to help create the csr file which I sent to godaddy.
It call it: toadfrog.key
I used toadfrog.key to create the csr, where do I put toadfrog.key now?
Here is a screendump of me creating the csr with toadfrog.key:
deploy@domU-12-31-38-00-95-21 ~ $
deploy@domU-12-31-38-00-95-21 ~ $ openssl genrsa -des3 -out toadfrog.key
2048
Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus

e is 65537 (0x10001)
Enter pass phrase for toadfrog.key:

Then to create the csr:
deploy@domU-12-31-38-00-95-21 ~ $
deploy@domU-12-31-38-00-95-21 ~ $ openssl req -new -key toadfrog.key
-out toadfrog.csr
Enter pass phrase for toadfrog.key:
