Hi guys, I’m new to nginx. Just knew how to use it few months ago. I got a QuickSSL SSL, but I would like to install it only on mybb admin folder only ([http://myforum.com/admin](http://myforum.com/admin) will rewrite to [https://myforum.com/admin](https://myforum.com/admin)) and keep the rest of the site uses http. Only [http://myforum.com/admin](http://myforum.com/admin) will redirect to [https://myforum.com/admin](https://myforum.com/admin). It didn’t work with any existing file inside admin (for example: admin/index.php). Here is my current nginx config: server { listen 80; server\_name [domain.com](http://domain.com) [www.domain.com](http://www.domain.com); root /var/www/domain.com; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi\_php; index index.php index.html; location / { ``` } } location /admin { rewrite ^/ https://$http_host$request_uri permanent; } ``` } server { listen 443 ssl; ssl\_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/csr.csr; ssl\_certificate\_key /etc/nginx/ssl/csr.key; keepalive\_timeout 60; ssl\_protocols SSLv2 SSLv3 TLSv1; ssl\_ciphers ALL:!ADH:!EXPORT56:RC4+RSA:+HIGH:+MEDIUM:+LOW:+SSLv2:+EXP; ssl\_prefer\_server\_ciphers on; ``` server_name domain.com www.domain.com; root /var/www/domain.com; include /etc/nginx/fastcgi_php; index index.php index.html; location / { rewrite ^ http://$http_host$request_uri permanent; } location /admin { } ``` } I don’t know how to fix it, please help.

And I have no idea why would you enable sslv2 and even sslv3.

Thank you all for helping me. I didn’t clearly about why browsers didn’t recognize my SSL. If I remove: location / { rewrite ^/ http://$http\_host$request\_uri permanent; } The SSL was working fine, I think there were some objects still linking using http. Is there any help to solve the problem? Posted at Nginx Forum: > **[Re: Please help me](https://forum.nginx.org/read.php?2,214981,216507#msg-216507)** > > Hi guys, I'm new to nginx.
