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

How to Setting Up a Comodo SSL Cert

How to Setting Up a Comodo SSL Cert

  • I advice you to buy SSL Certs from officially Comodo only , or some SSL reseller whose you trust.

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

Prior to purchasing a cert, you need to generate a private key, and a CSR file (Certificate Signing Request). You’ll be asked for the content of the CSR file when ordering the certificate:

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout example_com.key -out example_com.csr

Nginx ssl config

The process starts by creating the CSR and the private key:

openssl req -nodes -newkey rsa:2048 -nodes -keyout dotmarks.net.key -out dotmarks.net.csr -subj "/C=GB/ST=London/L=London/O=dotmarks/OU=IT/CN=dotmarks.net"

Generates

  • dotmarks.net.key
  • dotmarks.net.csr

Make /robots.txt aware of the Rails environment

Make /robots.txt aware of the Rails environment

You probably don't want Google crawling your development staging app. Here's how to fix that.

$ mv public/robots.txt config/robots.production.txt
$ cp config/robots.production.txt config/robots.development.txt

Now edit config/routes.rb to add a route for /robots.txt, and add the controller code.
