GoDaddy SSL setup

IulianOlaru

Basic Pleskian
Dear users,
For the past few days i have tried to setup a godaddy ssl on my dedicated server running centos 6.5 with nginx. I have followed several tutorials as well but i always end up with the error:
PEM routines:pEM_read_bio:no start line:pem_lib.c:703:Expecting: TRUSTED CERTIFICATE

Also, when i force the domain to redirect all http requests to https, i get an redirect loop error.
Note: in website scripting and security, the preffered domain cannot be something else but domain.tld option otherwise, a redirect loop error appears.

Please advice.
 
Make sure that file /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/httpsd.pem hasn't 0 bytes size.
 
IgorG, it is not 0 bytes size. I have just tried to setup again the SSL using the following tutorial https://rtcamp.com/wordpress-nginx/tutorials/ssl/godaddy/ but with no positive results.

[root@h2236838 ssl]# openssl verify klaver2.eu.crt
klaver2.eu.crt: OU = Domain Control Validated, CN = klaver2.eu
error 20 at 0 depth lookup:unable to get local issuer certificate
[root@h2236838 ssl]# openssl verify klaver2.eu.key
unable to load certificate
140507790518088:error:0906D06C:pEM routines:pEM_read_bio:no start line:pem_lib.c:703:Expecting: TRUSTED CERTIFICATE

What is there to do? Its starting to become really annoying considering that i have tried all possible things that can be found over the internet.
 
Are you sure that domain is not resolvable on outside (not Plesk server) IP address?
 
From my knowledge, a resolvable domain is one that points to the servers ip. The server ip i have configured it to be share so i can setup another domain and manage to point to it a customer account, which i did. Any help would be much appreciated as i think i am doing something wrong in this configuration.
