You can inspect the certificate at https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/
Maybe you will get lucky and it will help you find out what is wrong.

I am using nginx as a reverse proxy. I have version 1.20.1 running on FreeBSD 13.1. Today I set up for a new domain. I got a wildcard certificate for mydomain.com from GoDaddy. I put the paths in nginx.conf but when I run nginx -t I get the following error: nginx: [emerg] SSL_CTX_use_PrivateKey("/usr/local/etc/nginx/ssl/domain.com.key") failed (SSL: error:0B080074:x509 certificate routines:X509_check_private_key:key values mismatch) nginx: configuration file /usr/local/etc/nginx /nginx.conf test failed When I ran the test below to check the Public and Private keys, I get back the same checksum so I guess the Certs must be ok. # openssl rsa -modulus -in domain.com.key -noout | md5sum # openssl x509 -modulus -in domain.com.crt -noout | md5sum This is the relevant section in my nginx.conf server { if ($country_access = no) { return 403; } listen 443 ssl http2; server_tokens off; more_clear_headers Server; server_name this.domain.com; ssl_certificate ssl/gd_bundle-g2-g1.crt; ssl_certificate_key ssl/domain.com.key; ssl_dhparam ssl/dhparams.pem; ssl_ecdh_curve secp384r1; ssl_stapling on; ssl_stapling_verify on; ssl_trusted_certificate ssl/domain.com.crt; resolver 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 valid=300s; resolver_timeout 10s; ssl_protocols TLSv1.3 TLSv1.2; ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on; ssl_ciphers 'EECDH+AESGCM:EDH+AESGCM:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-ECDSA-CHACHA20-POLY1305:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA38 ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:1m; ssl_session_timeout 1h; ssl_session_tickets off; add_header Strict-Transport-Security "max-age=31536000;includeSubDomains" always; access_log /var/log/nginx/access.log main; log_not_found on; } _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org https://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org https://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
