Globe SSL with NGINX SSL certificate issue

Question

I have a big problem with installing a certificat for nginx (same happends with apache though) I have 3 files __domain_com.crt __domain_com.ca-bundle and ssl.key. I tried to append cat __domain_com.crt __leechpack_com.ca-bundle > bundle.crt but if I do it like this i get an error:

[emerg]: SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file("/etc/nginx/__leechpack_com.crt") failed (SSL: error:0906D066:PEM routines:PEM_read_bio:bad end line error:140DC009:SSL routines:SSL_CTX_use_certificate_chain_file:PEM lib)

And that's because the delimiters of the certificates arren't separated.

-----END CERTIFICATE----------BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

If I separate them with an enter between certificated it will at least start but I will get the same warning from Firefox:

This Connection is Untrusted
You have asked Firefox to connect
securely to domain.com, but we can't confirm that your connection is secure.

The concatenate solution it is given by Globe SSL and the NGINX site but it doesn't work. I think the bundle is ignored though.

If I do openssl s_client -connect down.leechpack.com:443

Solution

cat __domain_com.ca-bundle >> __domain_com.crt In nginx you need use only two files KEY and CRT, and you must merger CRT and CA BUNDLE into one file
