Steps to install a Comodo PositiveSSL certificate with Nginx.

Setting up a SSL Cert from Comodo

I use Namecheap.com as a registrar, and they resale SSL Certs from a number of other companies, including Comodo.

These are the steps I went through to set up an SSL cert.

Purchase the cert

Use a sub directory as a rails application's url root rails 3, nginx, unicorn

Symlink for static files

Among applying the changes in the other files in this gist, you need to symlink the directory you are serving the app with in the root app's public directory so that NGINX can serve the static files in the sub-app.

For example, if you have an app at /home/coffeencoke/apps/app.coffeencoke.com/current/public as your root app, and you have the sub app served at http://app.coffeencoke.com/admin, then you need to symlink /home/coffeencoke/apps/admin-app.coffeencoke.com/current/public to /home/coffeencoke/apps/app.coffeencoke.com/current/public/admin like so:

ln -s /home/coffeencoke/apps/admin-app.coffeencoke.com/current/public /home/coffeencoke/apps/app.coffeencoke.com/current/public/admin

Only first 1000 GitHub users according to the count of followers are taken. This is because of limitations of GitHub search. Sorting algo in pseudocode:

Ways to use VCR for a request made by a let block
# 1) Use VCR.use_cassette in your let block. This will use
# the cassette just for requests made by creating bar, not
# for anything else in your test.
let(:foo) { VCR.use_cassette("foo") { create(:bar) } }
it "uses foo" do
foo
end
# 2) Wrap the it block that uses #foo in VCR.use_cassette.
