Hello nginx people.

I want to use nginx to serve https for my site.

I followed directions given by godaddy to generate a csr file.

I gave $25 and the csr file to godaddy.

They gave me 2 files:

gd_bundle.crt
toadfrog.com.crt

I am curious about what to do with these files.

How do I declare that I want my /etc/nginx/nginx.conf file to use
these 2 crt files?

Also I used a file to help create the csr file which I sent to godaddy.

It call it: toadfrog.key

I used toadfrog.key to create the csr, where do I put toadfrog.key now?

Here is a screendump of me creating the csr with toadfrog.key:

deploy@domU-12-31-38-00-95-21 ~ $
deploy@domU-12-31-38-00-95-21 ~ $ openssl genrsa -des3 -out toadfrog.key 2048
Generating RSA private key, 2048 bit long modulus
.....................................+++
....................+++
e is 65537 (0x10001)

Enter pass phrase for toadfrog.key:
Verifying - Enter pass phrase for toadfrog.key:


Then to create the csr:


deploy@domU-12-31-38-00-95-21 ~ $
deploy@domU-12-31-38-00-95-21 ~ $ openssl req -new -key toadfrog.key
-out toadfrog.csr
Enter pass phrase for toadfrog.key:
