Just obtained a new SSL certificate, but the browser shows connection is not secure

[Ash3T]

@phenomlab Thanks very much for sharing the copy of an NGINX config. I tried to replace the IP and domain with my IP and domain. But it returned with " nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test failed" when I save the config file.

location ~ \.php$  {
		try_files $uri $fastcgi_script_name =404;
		fastcgi_pass localhost:8000;
		#fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php8.0-fpm.sock;
		gzip on;
		gzip_comp_level 5;
	}

The previous block is

location ~ \.php(/|$) {
                try_files $uri $fastcgi_script_name =404;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/php-nginx/163072439048555.sock/socket;
        }

I am using Php 7.4 should I remain the previous block? I noticed there is php8.0-fpm.sock.

Then I only changes one line in /etc/nginx/sites-available/mysite01.conf

include /home/user/public_html/.nginx.conf; 

It doesn’t work too. Then my Database lost connection.

@ash3t said in Just obtained a new SSL certificate, but the browser shows connection is not secure:

The command for PHP8.0 is prefix by a hash, so will be ignored.

Try using fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock; and place a # before the fastcgi_pass localhost:8000; line

The previous block is

That socket number is auto assigned to the domain when you create it, so it may make more sense to use that. So, something like this

location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri $fastcgi_script_name =404;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/var/php-nginx/163072439048555.sock/socket;
        }

Or

location ~ \.php$ {
                try_files $uri $fastcgi_script_name =404;
                fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.4-fpm.sock;
        }

It doesn’t work too. Then my Database lost connection.

Can you clarify this part ?

[phenomlab]

@Ash3T one other thing that sprung to mind - which mode is PHP running in - FCGID or PHP-FPM ? Shouldn’t make too much difference at this stage, but ideally needs to be PHP-FPM.

[Ash3T]

@phenomlab Thanks very much for your reply. I am really busy these days, and I don’t have time to look more into this. Sorry for the late reply. I will give it a try the other day, and make a note of the details, and keep you posted. Thanks again for your kindness.

By the way, I cannot use the emoji button, there is no emoji after I click on it. Not sure if this happens to everyone or it is just me.

[phenomlab]

@ash3t There isn’t an emoji button here like there was in Flarum. Is that what you’re referring to, or was it something that used to work, but no longer does ?

[Ash3T]

@phenomlab there is one on my screen, please see this .

[phenomlab]

@ash3t yes, I see what you mean now. It does appear to be broken. Let me look into that. Meanwhile, you can still use standard ASCII emojis like this one

[Ash3T]

@phenomlab Yes. I can send out emoji now.

I started over and got stuck again, here is my config file, could you please take a look?

	ssl_certificate /home/haobao/ssl.combined;
	ssl_certificate_key /home/haobao/ssl.key;
	fastcgi_read_timeout 60;
}

I tried to add: “/flarum/public/” in the following two places
root /home/haobao/public_html;
root /home/haobao/cgi-bin;

It shows: “403 Forbidden” or "No input file specified. "

@ash3t I just figured out the mistake I made on the previous config. Now the config is working now. Thanks a lot. I couldn’t edit my previous post. Your working copy of the NGINX config really helps. Thanks a lot.

@ash3t Great Glad everything has worked out.
