I can second the fact FreeBSD + nginx is a rocking combo. We've been running that for years under ever increasing traffic and it only requires a few basic adjustments to the OS, even fewer in 10 since a lot of system defaults were cranked up for modern times. Our current hardware handling ngin

Re: Error: This server's certificate chain is incomplete.

That test should point you in some direction but you're probably missing an intermediate certificate which would normally be provided by the issuer and appended to the file containing your server certificate. *__Scott LarsonSystems AdministratorWiredrive/LA310 823 8238 ext.

Re: Serving files from a slow NFS storage

2014-12-29 Thread Scott Larson
Without knowing everything in the mix my first thought would be the NFS head node is being tapped out and can't keep up. Generally you'd solve this with some type of caching, either at a CDN level or you could look at the SlowFS module. I've not checked to see if it still compiles against the

Re: Use of Certs

2014-12-29 Thread Scott Larson
If you're using nginx as a reverse proxy you'll want a cert set up on that node. Without it, worst case is your link between the proxy and the IIS server is secure but your link between the remote client and the proxy will be insecure defeating the whole purpose. Best case is an error will be

Re: SSL Certificate confusion.

The CA will never provide a key, if this was a simple renewal of the existing certificate the key already in place would be the one to reuse. One thing to note however is that SHA1 is being aggressively phased out now due the the Google policy change with Chrome. If that matters to you, you'll

Re: issue with ssl_ciphers not being respected

2014-10-16 Thread Scott Larson
Something else must be going on here. Looking at your ssl_cipher string, you're opening with a rough declaration of specific ciphers you'll support, none of which should pull in RC4. It's specific enough in fact that your subsequent excluded ciphers don't even come into play. To test this I sw

Re: issue with ssl_ciphers not being respected

2014-10-16 Thread Scott Larson
I'm personally partial to just outright declaring my supported ciphers rather than using the exclusion bits. My personal server is aggressively strict, the setup for our production gear is much less so. Either way it allows me to know exactly what's available to clients. For lunatics with DSA

Frankly it sounds more like laziness or being averse to change. All I can relay is experience with our setup here which is purely FreeBSD with an internal Poudriere based package build server, and system/config management with Salt. Taken as a whole it's a painless and relatively trivial proce

I'm not personally a fan of telling nginx to glob all .html files for PHP processing, but maybe that's just me and unrelated. If other PHP apps are working I'd dig into the logging for that. Generally when I run into situations like this it has nothing to do with nginx and instead is something

OCSP, ssl_trusted_certificate, and ssl_stapling_verify

In setting up OCSP stapling on 1.5.10 I've found it behaving in a way which is opposite to what I perceive is documented. There it states that the contents of ssl_trusted_certificate are not sent to the client. However when I enable ssl_stapling_verify, which requires the inclusion of in this
