SNI + nginx

zenny · May 17, 2012

Testing a virtual Debian Squeeze server with nginx SNI enabled (perfect server), but does not seem to work. What is done so far are:

1. Installed Nginx and other softwares necessary for ISPConfig3 and installed v3.0.4.5 (everything went successful)

2. Enabled SNI in System Config >> Web >> Enable SNI

3. Created a client and site with SSL enabled and also created the self-signed certificates using the SSL tab under admin panel of the specific site.

4. For testing also appended a line in /etc/hosts: 192.168.9.190 ssl.example.com

5. But when I access the http://ssl.example.com, it works fine, but a blank page at https://ssl.example.com. :-( For clarity, I am using SNI-enabled browser (Firefox 12).

# nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.2.0

6. Stats page displayed blank page, too. :-(

Any inputs appreciated! Thanks!
